Publication number: 20250029633Abstract: A magnetic medium is described which includes a thin film magnet structure formed of a ferromagnetic alloy or compound. The thin film magnet structure includes one or more ferromagnetic domains and is coupled to one or more optical structures. Each of the one or more ferromagnetic domains have a magnetization that is switchable between two or more states. Each of the one or more optical structures is configured to increase absorbance of light at a target wavelength in the thin film magnet structure, such that in response to illumination of a ferromagnetic domain with continuous-wave light including the target wavelength, that ferromagnetic domain undergoes all-optical magnetic switching.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Kilian James Darrie STENNING, Xiaofei XIAO, Holly HOLDER, Jack CARTER GARTSIDE, Rupert Francis Maximillian OULTON, William Richard BRANFORD

Patent number: 10698845Abstract: Input/output (I/O) operation requests from pageable storage mode guests are interpreted without host intervention. In a pageable mode virtual environment, requests issued by pageable storage mode guests are processed by one or more processors of the environment absent intervention from one or more hosts of the environment. Processing of the requests includes manipulating, by at least one processor on behalf of the guests, buffer state information stored in host storage. The manipulating is performed via instructions initiated by the guests and processed by one or more of the processors.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Janet R. Easton, William A. Holder, Bernd Nerz, Damian L. Osisek, Gustav E. Sittmann, III, Richard P. Tarcza, Leslie W. Wyman

Patent number: 10684800Abstract: Processing within a computing environment that supports pageable guests is facilitated. Processing is facilitated in many ways, including, but not limited to, associating guest and host state information with guest blocks of storage; maintaining the state information in control blocks in host memory; enabling the changing of states; and using the state information in management decisions. In one particular example, the guest state includes an indication of usefulness and importance of memory contents to the guest, and the host state reflects the ease of access to memory contents. The host and guest state information is used in managing memory of the host and/or guests.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ingo Adlung, Jong Hyuk Choi, Hubertus Franke, Lisa C. Heller, William A. Holder, Ray Mansell, Damian L. Osisek, Randall W. Philley, Martin Schwidefsky, Gustav E. Sittmann, III
