Abstract: Systems and methods for a controller including controller memory and logic are presented herein. The logic is configured to control access to a persistent storage media and, in response to one or more commands, the logic determines an intermediate parity value based on a first parity calculation, and using the intermediate parity value determines a final parity value based on the intermediate parity value and a second parity calculation. Determining the intermediate parity value includes sending a uni-directional command to read an old data value from an address indicated in the uni-directional command, perform an exclusive-or operation on the old data value and a new data value indicated in the uni-directional command to determine the intermediate parity value and store, in the persistent storage media, the intermediate parity value at a location associated to an index indicated in the uni-directional command.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to executing a poller to poll for received communications over multiple transport layer protocols from a connection to identify a received communication from one of the multiple transport layer protocols and identify a second received communication from a different one of the multiple transport layer protocols. A change to the different one of the multiple transport layer protocols occurs in response to failure of the one of the multiple transport layer protocols or slow transport rate using the one of the multiple transport layer protocols. In some examples, the poller is executed in user space and transport layer protocol processing of the received communication and second received communication occur in kernel space.

Abstract: Operations are described for executing application images in a trusted execution environment (TEE).

Abstract: Examples herein relate to polling for input/output transactions of a network interface or a storage device, or any peripheral device. Some examples monitor clock cycles spent checking for a presence of input/output (I/O) events and processing I/O events and monitor clock cycles spent checking for presence of I/O events without completing an I/O event. Central processing unit (CPU) core utilization can be based on clock cycles spent checking for a presence of I/O events and processing I/O events and clock cycles spent checking for presence of I/O events without completion of an I/O event. For example, if core utilization is below a threshold, frequency of the core can be reduced for performing polling of I/O events. If core utilization is at or above the threshold, frequency of the core can be increased used to performing polling of I/O events.

Abstract: In a multitenant environment, confidential containers for the tenant having a trusted execution environment (TEE) which have security attested, can share data within the pod or between pods. The ability to share data for confidential containers of the same tenant eliminates the need to have multiple copies for different confidential containers. Thus, a storage device can store shared data specific to a tenant of the multitenant environment, and a caching service backed by protected hardware can manage access to the shared data. Management of the shared data can include attesting a key for a confidential container to verify that the confidential container is part of the TEE for a pod for the tenant, and access the shared data from the storage device for the confidential container based on the attested key.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive a remote direct memory access (RDMA) message from a first virtual machine located on a first network element, determine that the RDMA message is destined for a second virtual machine that is located on the first network element, and use a local direct memory access engine to process the RDMA message, where the local direct memory access engine is located on the first network element. In an example, the electronic device can be further configured to determine that the RDMA message is destined for a third virtual machine on a second network element, wherein the second network element is different than the first network element and use an other device acceleration driver to process the RDMA message instead of the local direct memory access engine.
