  • Patent number: 12360678
    Abstract: A host server computer with an uncorrectable memory error can be repaired without a reboot operation. While initially booting a hypervisor, a special software Application Programming Interface (API) can be loaded between a BIOS System Management Mode (SMM) code and the hypervisor. Once the host server computer is booted and a number of virtual machines are executing, a memory error (e.g., uncorrectable error correction code (UECC)) can occur. In response, the hypervisor calls into the special software API identifying the defective memory rows that the BIOS needs to repair. The BIOS starts a soft Post Package Repair (PPR) process on those rows and gives back control to the hypervisor. When the repair is completed, the hypervisor loads a scrubbing virtual machine and validates that the memory is corrected. After the repair is validated, the hypervisor allows the available partition to take a new customer instance.

  • Publication number: 20250147932
    Abstract: A routing platform coupled to a data network maintains, on local storage of the routing platform, a reflected file system structure corresponding to that of a file system on a network file share. The file system includes a file system object including file system object data, and the reflected file system structure includes a copy of the file system object lacking the file system object data. The routing platform presents, as a proxy, the network file share to a client node communicatively coupled to the routing platform via the data network. The routing platform routes file system protocol traffic between the client node and the network file share, and, if needed, does so by reference to the reflected file system structure.

  • Patent number: 12268628
    Abstract: Described herein is a system for heating and/or cooling a fluid that includes a temperature forcing device having a bottom plate and a top plate hingedly coupled to the bottom plate. At least one of the bottom plate and the top plate has a recess or other area for receiving at least one flexible fluid holder (e.g., a polymer bag). The bottom plate and/or top plate also has at least one protrusion and/or recession in its interior wall(s) such that a fluid passageway in the flexible fluid holder is defined when the fluid holder is placed between the top and bottom plates, and the plates are closed together. The fluid holder then has a fluid inlet for receiving the fluid to be heated and/or cooled and a fluid outlet for delivering the fluid. The fluid, upon being heated and/or cooled by the temperature forcing device, may then be delivered to a patient or may be delivered to another system component, e.g., for additional heating/cooling.
