Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that generate three-dimensional hybrid mesh-volumetric representations for digital objects. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a mesh for a digital object from a plurality of digital images that portray the digital object using a multi-view stereo model. Additionally, the disclosed systems determine a set of sample points for a thin volume around the mesh. Using a neural network, the disclosed systems further generate a three-dimensional hybrid mesh-volumetric representation for the digital object utilizing the set of sample points for the thin volume and the mesh.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data input/output operations are described that include virtual machines operating with a shared storage within a host. In such a system, a computer-implemented method is provided for dynamically provisioning cache storage while operating system applications continue to operate, including stalling the virtual machine's local cache storage operations, changing the provision of cache storage size; and resuming the operations of the virtual machine.

Abstract: A storage module may be configured to service I/O requests according to different persistence levels. The persistence level of an I/O request may relate to the storage resource(s) used to service the I/O request, the configuration of the storage resource(s), the storage mode of the resources, and so on. In some embodiments, a persistence level may relate to a cache mode of an I/O request. I/O requests pertaining to temporary or disposable data may be serviced using an ephemeral cache mode. An ephemeral cache mode may comprise storing I/O request data in cache storage without writing the data through (or back) to primary storage. Ephemeral cache data may be transferred between hosts in response to virtual machine migration.

Abstract: A virtual machine cache provides for maintaining a working set of the cache during a transfer between virtual machine hosts. In response to a virtual machine transfer, the previous host of the virtual machine is configured to retain cache data of the virtual machine, which may include both cache metadata and data that has been admitted into the cache. The cache data may be transferred to the destination host via a network (or other communication mechanism). The destination host populates a virtual machine cache with the transferred cache data to thereby reconstruct the working state of the cache.

Abstract: An I/O manager may be configured to service I/O requests pertaining to ephemeral data of a virtual machine using a storage device that is separate from and/or independent of a primary storage resource to which the I/O request is directed. Ephemeral data may be removed from ephemeral storage in response to a removal condition and/or trigger, such as a virtual machine reboot. The I/O manager may manage transfers of ephemeral virtual machine data in response to virtual machines migrating between host computing devices. The I/O manager may be further configured to cache virtual machine data, and/or manage shared file data that is common to two or more virtual machines operating on a host computing device.

Abstract: A cache log module stores an ordered log of cache storage operations sequentially within the physical address space of a non-volatile storage device. The log may be divided into segments, each comprising a set of log entries. Data admitted into the cache may be associated with respective log segments. Cache data may be associated with the log segment that corresponds to the cache storage operation in which the cache data was written into the cache. The backing store of the data may be synchronized to a particular log segment by identifying the cache data pertaining to the segment (using the associations), and writing the identified data to the backing store. Data lost from the cache may be recovered from the log by, inter alia, committing entries in the log after the last synchronization time of the backing store.

Abstract: A de-duplication is configured to cache data for access by a plurality of different storage clients, such as virtual machines. A virtual machine may comprise a virtual machine de-duplication module configured to identify data for admission into the de-duplication cache. Data admitted into the de-duplication cache may be accessible by two or more storage clients. Metadata pertaining to the contents of the de-duplication cache may be persisted and/or transferred with respective storage clients such that the storage clients may access the contents of the de-duplication cache after rebooting, being power cycled, and/or being transferred between hosts.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data input/output operations are described. In one aspect, a device driver identifies a data read operation generated by a virtual machine in a virtual environment. The device driver is located in the virtual machine and the data read operation identifies a physical cache address associated with the data requested in the data read operation. A determination is made regarding whether data associated with the data read operation is available in a cache associated with the virtual machine.

Abstract: A virtual machine cache provides for maintaining a working set of the cache during a transfer between virtual machine hosts. In response to the transfer, a previous host retains cache data of the virtual machine, which is provided to the new host of the virtual machine. The cache data may be transferred via a network transfer.

Abstract: A multi-level cache comprises a plurality of cache levels, each configured to cache I/O request data pertaining to I/O requests of a different respective type and/or granularity. The multi-level cache may comprise a file-level cache that is configured to cache I/O request data at a file-level of granularity. A file-level cache policy may comprise file selection criteria to distinguish cacheable files from non-cacheable files. The file-level cache may monitor I/O requests within a storage stage, and may service I/O requests from a cache device.
