Publication number: 20220405104Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of providing cross platform accelerator remoting between complex instruction set computer (CISC) components and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) components of a computing environment. An accelerator remoting server receives accelerator instructions executable by a locally installed accelerator device and provides the accelerator instructions to the accelerator device. The accelerator remoting server transmits accelerator results to an accelerator remoting client to complete the cross platform or platform agnostic accelerator remoting.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2021Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Tiejun Chen, Olivier Alain Cremel, Kit Colbert, Chris Wolf, Mazhar Memon, Renu Raman, Peter Buckingham, Shreekanta Das

Publication number: 20160005434Abstract: A method of writing data to a tape on which during a write operation successive data unit groups that comprise a plurality N of data units are written across the tape as N track portions to form N data tracks that extend in a lengthways direction of the tape. The method includes identifying data units written during the write operation that need to be rewritten and writing a rewrite data unit group that contains data units identified as needing to be rewritten. The rewrite data unit group has N track portions written across the tape to form a part of the data tracks. The N track portions contain N-n data units identified as needing to be rewritten and data unit identifier information comprising respective data unit identifiers for the N-n data units contained in at least one list of data unit identifiers. N and n are positive integers.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2013Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Jonathan Peter Buckingham, Rafel Jibry

Patent number: 8667235Abstract: Data storage and retrieval methods and apparatus are provided for facilitating data de-duplication for serial-access storage media such as tape. During data storage, input data is divided into a succession of chunks and, for each chunk, a corresponding data item is written to the storage media. The data item comprises the chunk data itself where it is the first occurrence of that data, and otherwise comprises a chunk-data identifier identifying that chunk of subject data. To facilitate reconstruction of the original data on read-back from the storage media a cache (50) is used together with a database (35R), stored on the media, that includes for each duplicated chunk, the location of the corresponding chunk of subject data.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2010Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Christopher Williams, Gregory Trezise, Jonathan Peter Buckingham, Neil Thomas Hutchon, Darren Edward Kent, Andrew Hana, Peter Walsh, Rafel Jibry, Robert Morling
