  • Patent number: 11977785
    Abstract: The disclosed technologies provide functionality for non-volatile memory device-assisted live migration of virtual machine (“VM”) data. A host computing device (the “host”) requests that a source non-volatile memory device track changes to a namespace by a VM. In response thereto, the source device tracks changes made by the VM to the namespace and stores one or more data structures that identify the changed portions of the namespace. The host requests the data structures from the source device and requests the contents of the changed portions from the source device. The host then causes the data changed by the VM in the namespace to be written to a namespace on a target non-volatile memory device. The host can also retrieve the device internal state of a child physical function on the source device. The host migrates the retrieved device internal state to a child physical function on the target device.

  • Patent number: 11155367
    Abstract: Provided is a single-axis pointing pure magnetic control algorithm for a spacecraft based on geometrical analysis to realize single-axis pointing control of the spacecraft through the pure magnetic control algorithm in which a magnetic torque is only output by a magnetorquer to interact with a geomagnetic field to generate a control torque. The algorithm uses a spatial geometry method to obtain an optimally controlled magnetic torque direction, thereby designing a PD controller. The problem that the traditional magnetic control method is low in efficiency and even cannot be controlled is overcome. The algorithm is simple and easy, can be used in the attitude control field of spacecrafts, and achieves the pointing control in point-to-sun of a solar array and point-to-ground of antennae.
