Abstract: A method for storing data includes receiving a message to perform garbage collection on a first block of blocks included in a storage apparatus, and, based on the message, performing garbage collection on the first block by storing valid data that is stored in the first block into a second block according to a level of the first block among plural levels. A level of the second block among the plural levels is not lower than the level of the first block.

Abstract: A method for implementing a deep learning recommendation model (DLRM) is provided. The method includes: querying, by a host, an embedding vector corresponding to an input sparse feature of the DLRM from a first embedding table stored in CXL memory; performing, by the host, a computation for an embedding layer using the embedding vector based on the embedding vector being found in the first embedding table; querying, by a SmartSSD, the embedding vector from a second embedding table stored in the SmartSSD and performing the computation for the embedding layer using the embedding vector found in the second embedding table, based on the embedding vector not being found in the first embedding table; and obtaining, by the host, a recommendation result based on a computation result of the embedding layer and a computation result of a bottom multilayer perceptron (MLP) for an input dense feature of the DLRM.

Abstract: Provided is a data compaction method that includes: determining, by an electronic device, a plurality of Sorted String Table (SSTable) files on which a compaction operation is to be performed among SSTable files stored in a storage device connected to the electronic device, the data in the SSTable files stored in the storage device is stored based on a Log Structured Merge Tree (LSM-Tree) mechanism; based on receiving the plurality of SSTable files from the storage device, performing, by the electronic device, merge sorting on data in data blocks of the plurality of SSTable files based on indexes of the data in the data blocks of the plurality of SSTable files, to obtain reconstructed data blocks; and sending, by the electronic device, the reconstructed data blocks to the storage device, the reconstructed data blocks being used by the storage device to obtain reconstructed SSTable files.

Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes: obtaining a cache value of data corresponding to an access request; and determining whether to access the data corresponding to the access request from a cache device or a storage device based on whether the cache value meets a preset condition.

Abstract: A host, a storage device, and a data processing method of the host and the storage device are disclosed. The data processing method of a storage device includes receiving a query request involving a scan-filter task from a host, determining whether a computing resource within the storage device is saturated, with respect to the scan-filter task, determining whether the storage device is needed to perform a scan-filter operation, based on determining that the computing resource within the storage device is not saturated, performing the scan-filter operation on raw data within the storage device to obtain processed data, based on determining that the storage device is needed to perform the scan-filter operation and transmitting the processed data to the host.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes presenting a guest checkout interface in an application executing on the user computing device, the guest checkout interface being presented in association with an order, receiving user identifying information in association with the order through the guest checkout interface, sending the user identifying information to a computing system associated with a transaction processing system, receiving a notification from the transaction processing system that the user identifying information is not associated with a user account associated with the transaction processing system, receiving payment information and order information for the order through the guest checkout interface, sending the received payment information and order information to the transaction processing system, and presenting an order confirmation and user account creation interface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request corresponding to a user interaction on a content platform with a content item, the user interaction originating from a user device. The method includes determining, based on the request, an inventory item and a merchant provider of the inventory item. The method includes confirming availability of the inventory item from the merchant provider. The method includes causing a native checkout user interface to be presented on the user device in conjunction with the content platform. The native checkout user interface corresponds to the inventory item determined from the request. The method includes receiving a checkout request for the inventory item via the native checkout user interface presented on the user device. The checkout request originates from the user device. The method includes facilitating an order between the user and the merchant based on the checkout request.
