Abstract: A search method comprises: determining a location designated by a target search request; determining a grid corresponding to the location in a gridded location area; and determining the grid's corresponding optimal search radius from correspondence relationships between grids and optimal search radiuses, and using the optimal search radius to perform a search corresponding to the target search request.

Abstract: A control panel includes a communication interface, one or more hardware interfaces, and a firmware updating unit. A control computer is connected to the control panel via the communication interface. One or more devices are connected to the one or more hardware interfaces. The firmware updating unit determines ID information, hardware interface type information, and firmware update data in relation to a device by analyzing a firmware update command sent from the control computer, and searches out the device from the one or more devices based on the ID information and the hardware interface type information. The firmware updating unit writes the firmware update data to the device.

Abstract: A data storage processing method, a data searching method, and devices thereof are provided. The data storage processing method includes: sequentially writing data to a data recording area in a flash; generating log information according to a physical address of the data in the data recording area and an identifier (ID) of the data, and sequentially writing the log information to a log area in the flash; and constructing a Bloom filter data for the log information in the log area, and sequentially writing the Bloom filter data to a log digest area in the flash. A flash storage structure including the data recording area, the log area, and the log digest area is adopted, thereby reducing the occupied storage space of the flash. In addition, since all the areas adopt a sequential storage mode, the data maintenance is quite simple.

Abstract: A network configuration method of a baseboard management controller (BMC) reads network port information of the BMC. The BMC connects to a network via at least one network interface device that includes more than one network port. A current active network port is determined from network ports of the at least one network interface device according to the current network port information of the BMC. If the current active network port does not works properly, a new active network port is determined from the network ports. The network port information of the BMC is updated according to the new active network port.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of communications, in particular, to a server for solving the problem related to the incompatibility between normal blades and multi-processing blades in a conventional server. The server according to an embodiment of the invention includes a backboard, on which backboard wiring and a first slot are disposed. At least two second slots are further disposed on the backboard. Both a first interface configured to be connected to a normal blade and a second interface configured to be connected to a multi-processing blade are disposed on each of the second slots, the first interface being connected to a corresponding Cluster Switch interface disposed on the first slot via the backboard wiring, and the second interface being interconnected directly via the backboard wiring or being connected to a corresponding Symmetrical Multi-Processing Switch interface disposed on the first slot via the backboard wiring.
