  • Patent number: 11366701
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a control board operatively coupled to a modular compute boards and to a resource boards by (1) a first connection associated with control information and not data, and (2) a second connection associated with data and not control information. The control board can determine a computation load and a physical resource requirement for a time period. The control board can send, to the modular compute board and via the first connection, a signal indicating an allocation of that modular compute board during the time period. The control board can send, from the control board to the resource board, a signal indicating an allocation of that resource board to the modular compute board such that that resource board allocates at least a portion of its resources during the time period based on at least one of the computation load or the physical resource requirement.

  • Patent number: 11360936
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system. An object from the file system that has parent objects may be provided. A snapshot in a current epoch may be generated such that the first snapshot may be based on the object and descendants of the object. A coverage set may be provided for the object that references the snapshot and also references each other snapshot that includes the parent objects. Read-only access to a version of the object may be provided based on a correspondence of the version and a snapshot referenced by the coverage set of the object. A coverage engine compares the update to a coverage update epoch (cue) associated with the parent objects. The coverage engine updates coverage sets of the parent objects based on grandparents of the object.
