Abstract: Methods and systems for processing a command from a host to a storage device are disclosed. A first controller of the storage device receives a first command from the host via a first queue. The first queue is exposed to the host. The storage device generates a second command based on the first command, and submits the second command to a second controller of the storage device via a second queue. The second command and the second queue are unexposed to the host. The second controller obtains and processes the second command from the second queue, where the processing of the second command is for accessing non-volatile storage media of the storage device. Based on a status of the second command, the first controller transmits a signal to the host for indicating completion of the first command.

The entity identifier assigned to the third-party entity can be determined using the modified application programming interface, and the transaction can be processed using the entity identifier assigned to the third-party entity.

Abstract: A system generates a set of instructions for preparing content of a memory resource that comprises a set of objects in a particular sequence. The system sends the content of the memory resource and the set of instructions to a user device. The system receives a first message that indicates the set of objects is being prepared from the user device. The system sends, to a server associated with a delivery vehicle, a third message to alert the delivery vehicle to pick up the set of objects from a pickup location and deliver to a delivery location coordinate. The system receives, from the server, an alert message that indicates the delivery vehicle has reached the pickup location coordinate. The system forwards the alert message to the user device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining periods of excessive noise for smart speaker voice commands. An electronic timeline of volume levels of currently playing content is made available to a smart speaker. From this timeline, periods of high content volume are determined, and the smart speaker alerts users during periods of high volume, requesting that they wait until the high-volume period has passed before issuing voice commands. In this manner, the smart speaker helps prevent voice commands that may not be detected, or may be detected inaccurately, due to the noise of the content currently being played.

Abstract: Techniques are described for partitioning B-tree keys of file systems into key ranges for parallel processing in delta generation during file storage replications between file systems in different cloud infrastructure regions. In certain embodiments, a delta generation processing for cross-region replication may utilize a key-range splitting mechanism involving a recursive algorithm that partitions B-tree keys of a source file system into roughly equal-size key ranges. All the partitioned key ranges may be processed in parallel and concurrently by different processing threads, one thread per key range, to improve the performance of the delta generation and achieve scalability.
