Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for a high-performance and low-latency implementation of a wavelet-based image compression scheme. A processor may generate, in a single pass for each of a plurality of horizontal and vertical divisions of an image frame, a set of wavelet coefficients for the image frame based on a DWT. The processor may select a set of bits associated with the set of wavelet coefficients to remove based on an entropy coding process.

The processor may output, for a second device, a bitstream including the set of serialized wavelet coefficients.

Abstract: Targetless snapshots of a storage object are characterized in terms of likelihood of access using time-series analysis. Metadata of replication data structures of individual targetless snapshots is maintained in either uncompressed or compressed form based on the characterization of the targetless snapshot. Metadata is compressed at the page level, with same-pages of all replication data structures of cold snapshots of a storage object being compressed together. Compressed pages of targetless snapshot metadata are maintained of storage devices selected based on storage device performance and the time-series characterization of the targetless snapshot.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for repairing a primary slice file, affected by a storage device error, by using one or more dead replica slice files. The primary slice file is used by a node of a distributed storage architecture as an indirection layer between storage containers (e.g., a volume or LUN) and physical storage where data is physically stored. To improve resiliency of the distributed storage architecture, changes to the primary slice file are replicated to replica slice files hosted by other nodes. If a replica slice file falls out of sync with the primary slice file, then the replica slice file is considered dead (out of sync) and could potentially comprise stale data. If a storage device error affects blocks storing data of the primary slice file, then the techniques provided herein can repair the primary slice file using non-stale data from one or more dead replica slice files.

The multiplexer is configured to select which bit line is a zero bit driven to a low logic level during the write operation and after the precharge circuit is turned off. After the write operation begins, the pull-up circuit is coupled to the bit lines and configured to select which bit line is a non-zero bit line driven to a high logic level.

After reaching a predetermined length on an inactive chain, the differencing disks on the inactive chain are merged into a single merged differencing disk, and the inactive chain becomes an active chain, from which new database clones may be served to users. The chains may alternate between being inactive and active chains.
