Abstract: A cache controller applies an aging policy to a portion of a cache based on access metrics for different test regions of the cache, whereby each test region implements a different aging policy. The aging policy for each region establishes an initial age value for each entry of the cache, and a particular aging policy can set the age for a given entry based on whether the entry was placed in the cache in response to a demand request from a processor core or in response to a prefetch request. The cache controller can use the age value of each entry as a criterion in its cache replacement policy.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer program products are provided for implementing storage access policies within a storage system on behalf of external computing agents. A storage system receives a set of storage rules from a partner computing system. The set of storage rules define a storage access policy that allows specific users or user groups to perform storage access operations within a file system hosted by the storage system. The storage system stores the storage access policy on behalf of the partner computing system. Upon receiving a storage access request from an external client computing system, the storage system compares the storage access request against the storage access policy to allow the storage access request or transmit an event notification of the storage access request to the partner computing system.

Abstract: A multi-core processor manages contention amongst its cores for access to a shared resource using a semaphore that maintains separate access-request queues for different cores and uses a selectable scheduling algorithm to grant pending requests, one at a time. The semaphore signals the core whose request is granted by sending it an interrupt signal using a dedicated core line that is not part of the system bus. The granted request is then de-queued, and the core accesses the shared resource in response to receiving the interrupt signal. The use of dedicated core lines for transmitting interrupt signals from the semaphore to the cores alleviates the need for repeated polling of the semaphore on the system bus. The use of the scheduling algorithm prevents a potential race condition between contending cores.

Abstract: A serial bus is provided with a device (sometimes herein referred to as an I2C serializer device) including circuitry and machine logic that operates as follows: when one of the master devices is using the bus for data communication, then the other master(s) will receive a wait signal until the bus becomes available again.
