    Abstract: A phase training update circuit operates to perform a phase training update on individual bit lanes. The phase training update circuit adjusts a bit lane transmit phase offset forward a designated number of phase steps, transmits a training pattern, and determines a first number of errors in the transmission. It also adjusts the bit lane transmit phase offset backward the designated number of phase steps, transmits the training pattern, and determines a second number of errors in the transmission. Responsive to a difference between the first number of errors and the second number of errors, the phase training update circuits adjusts a center phase position for the bit lane transmit phase offset of the selected bit lane.

  • Publication number: 20240036749
    Abstract: A device receives, by way of a policy enforcement application, based on input by a user, a request to generate a resource. Responsively, the device generates a user interface comprising a plurality of blueprints for creating the resource by generating a set of signals by extracting data from a profile of the user, inputting the set of signals into a supervised machine learning model, and receiving, as output from the supervised machine learning model, a probability for each given blueprint of the plurality of blueprints that the user will access the given blueprint. The device assigns ranks to each given blueprint of the plurality of blueprints based on their corresponding probabilities and orders the plurality of blueprints based on the ranks. The device generates for display the user interface, each blueprint comprising a selectable option that, when selected, leads to fields for configuring the resource.

  • Publication number: 20240036753
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system determines whether a media endurance metric associated with a memory block of a memory device satisfies one or more conditions. In response to the one or more conditions being satisfied, a temperature of the memory block is compared to a threshold temperature range. In response to determining the temperature of the memory block is within the threshold temperature range, the processing device causes execution of a wordline leakage test of a wordline group of a set of wordline groups of the memory block. A result of the wordline leakage test of the target wordline group is determined and an action is executed based on the result of the wordline leakage test.

  • Publication number: 20240036754
    Abstract: Same sized blocks of data corresponding to a single read/write command are stored in the same memory array of a memory device, but using different formats. A first one of these formats spreads the data in the block across a larger number of memory subarrays (a.k.a., memory array tiles—MATs) than a second format. In this manner, the data blocks stored in the first format can be accessed with lower latency than the blocks stored in the second format because more data can be read from the array simultaneously. In addition, since the data stored in the second format is stored in fewer subarrays, it takes less energy to read a block stored in the second format. Thus, a system may elect, on a data block by data block basis, whether to conserve power or improve speed.

  • Publication number: 20240036757
    Abstract: Content is captured and archived at an archive center (AC) and, depending upon records management (RM) policy, is managed by the AC or under RM control by a content server (CS). Both the AC and CS may be part of an enterprise content management system. The AC provides a user-friendly interface through which retention zones may be defined, and functionality for applying RM policy. The functionality can be triggered via a specific content property or through a retention zone under RM control. The RM control can be turned on or off from within the AC using the user-friendly interface. Archived content is not moved or duplicated. Rather, metadata and a link to the storage location are sent to the CS which, in turn, creates a content server document that is linked to the archived content. Only a portion of archived content is exposed to the CS through the AC.

  • Publication number: 20240036764
    Abstract: A storage system is provided that performs a defragmentation operation or proactive garbage collection in its memory based on a command from a host. The command specifies which blocks in the memory should take part in the defragmentation operation by specifying a maximum amount of valid data that a block can have to qualify for defragmentation. That way, the storage system only performs defragmentation on those blocks that meet the validity criteria provided by the host. This can help improve performance of the storage system while reducing the degree of negative tradeoffs that may come with defragmentation or proactive garbage collection.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a queued message service (QMS) that provides a multi-region, low-latency and reliable service for managing a large number of durable message queues for async targeted communication. This general-purpose, internal service QMS may be implemented in print queues as well as command queues for sensors. One example implementation of QMS is a print service. Such implementation introduces status indicators for printers internally, wherein such status indicators may identify whether a printer is blocked, offline, suspected of failure, properly functioning, etc.

    Abstract: A controller performs an approval process of, in response to receiving a first request from a requesting apparatus via a communication interface, displaying an approval screen on a user interface. In response to receiving an approval operation to the approval screen via the user interface, the controller transmits remote screen data to the requesting apparatus. In response to determining that a particular condition is satisfied when the first request is received from the requesting apparatus via the communication interface, the controller transmits the remote screen data to the requesting apparatus without displaying the approval screen on the user interface. After transmitting the remote screen data, in response to receiving an instruction via the communication interface from the requesting apparatus, the controller perform a particular process based on the instruction.
