  • Patent number: 11748284
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently arbitrating traffic on a bus. A computing system includes a fabric for routing traffic among one or more agents and one or more endpoints. The fabric includes multiple arbiters in an arbitration hierarchy. Arbiters store traffic in buffers with each buffer associated with a particular traffic type and a source of the traffic. Arbiters maintain a respective urgency counter for keeping track of a period of time traffic of a particular type is blocked by upstream arbiters. When the block is removed, the traffic of the particular type has priority for selection based on the urgency counter. When arbiters receive feedback from downstream arbiters or sources, the arbiters adjust selection priority accordingly. For example, changes in bandwidth requirement, low latency tolerance and active status cause adjustments in selection priority of stored requests.

  • Patent number: 11748285
    Abstract: Ordering rules, such as those enforced by the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) protocol for data communications, can be intelligently enforced for independent transactions. A single device might host or be associated with multiple PCIe devices, such as virtual machines, and treating requests from these separate PCIe devices as coming from separate domains enables the ordering rules to be bypassed for certain transactions. Further, since a virtual machine might host multiple applications or be associated with multiple processors that can submit independent requests, the ordering rules can be bypassed at the transaction level in at least some instances. The ability to intelligently bypass ordering rules can help to improve the performance of the overall system, as requests do not need to be unnecessarily delayed and data storage capacity can be more fully utilized.

  • Patent number: 11748286
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hot-plugging control method, device, and retimer. The hot-plugging control method includes: receiving data from a pluggable device through a second end, sending the data to an RC through a first end; sending a detection signal to the second end to detect the connection status between the pluggable device and the second end; and stopping sending the data to the RC, and sending the first control signal to the RC, when it is detected that the pluggable device is hot-unplugged from the second end, so that the RC handles the abnormal state of the data not being sent according to the first control signal. The hot-plugging control method provided by the present disclosure does not require presence signals to implement hot-plugging of a pluggable device, and thus can avoid the problem that the device cannot implement hot-plugging without presence signals.

  • Patent number: 11748323
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for searching objects, metadata associated with the objects, and attributes assigned to or associated with the metadata. Referring to herein as metadata for the metadata, these attributes may be associated with one or more metadata field values of a metadata field name which, in turn, may be associated with an object being or already indexed in a search index of a search system. Each attribute may be optional, dynamically created, indexed, and searchable via the search index. There can be multiple attributes associated with the same metadata field value, each being represented as a key-value pair. This metadata for the metadata approach can be highly efficient. For example, the ability to search multiple attributes associated with the same metadata field can eliminate the potential need to create multiple metadata fields for the same value in different languages, countries, etc.

  • Patent number: 11748324
    Abstract: The technology described herein provides for identifying matching documents for a search query using a bit vector search index. When a search query is received, a term is identified from the search index, and a number of bit vectors corresponding to the term are identified. Each bit vector comprises an array of bits in which at least one bit in each bit vector indicates that a corresponding document includes the term. Each bit vector also includes other bits indicating other documents include other terms. A determination is made that an unacceptable number of possible matching documents is likely to be returned. In response to the determination, a strengthening row bit vector is selected to reduce the number of possible matching documents. The identified bit vectors and the selected strengthening row are intersected to identify matching documents that contain the term.

  • Patent number: 11748332
    Abstract: Storage of data that no longer has a useful life is established by the data objects' user(s) and overcomes predetermined rules required by information management policies. An illustrative data agent may receive instructions from an illustrative storage manager to perform secondary copy operations for certain data objects. The instructions may instruct that expiry-marked data objects are to be treated based on parsing each data object's user-supplied expiry timeframe. The illustrative system (i) will delete expired data objects including expired secondary copies; (ii) will refrain from making secondary copies of expired data objects; and (iii) if an expiry-marked data object is not expired, the illustrative system will make secondary copies according to the instructions, but will track those expiry-marked secondary copies for future deletion after they expire, (iv) and will delete expired secondary copies even if the original expiry-marked data object has been deleted from the system prior to its expiration.
