Patent number: 11747997Abstract: A Software Defined Network Attached Storage (SDNAS) executes on a storage system to provide access to shared file systems, referred to as “shares”, on the storage system. Users access the shares using protocol clients. To enable the SDNAS to provide differentiated prioritization between the various shares, a share priority table is maintained by the SDNAS. As shares are created, or optionally after the shares have been created, each share is assigned a share priority which is stored in the share priority table. When an IO operation is received from a protocol client on a share, the SDNAS process determines a share priority value of the share from the share priority table. The share priority value is used to specify an IO priority which used by the operating system scheduling mechanism to schedule the IO operation and to establish a CPU priority for the IO operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Jai Gahlot, Shiv Kumar, Amit Chauhan

Patent number: 11720392Abstract: Dynamic relocation of virtual machines among hypervisors in a relocation domain is provided. A hypervisor is initialized in a subdomain of the relocation domain. A record of architecture characteristics is retrieved for each hypervisor in the relocation domain. A new canonical architectural description (ARD) is created for each subdomain in the relocation domain. An effective adapter characteristic representation is created for each virtual machine defined to the hypervisor. The record of architecture characteristics for each hypervisor in the relocation domain is updated.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard John Moore, Damian Osisek, Tracy Ann Krein

Patent number: 11695641Abstract: A mock server implementation for discovery applications is provided. A computing system includes a mock server, which receives a client request from a mock client on a discovery server. The client request corresponds to a user query associated with a discovery of resources on a remote computing system. The mock server determines a first response from a mock response dataset. The first response to the client request is determined based on the received client request. The mock response dataset includes a set of responses associated with a sequence of operations executed in the past for the discovery of resources on the remote computing system. The mock server transmits the determined first response to the mock client on the discovery server. The mock client receives the transmitted first response and sends the received first response to a discovery application interface on a user device.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventors: Tom Bar Oz, Robert Bitterfeld, Venkatesh Ainalli, Aviya Aron, Naveen Kumar HR

Patent number: 11689915Abstract: Systems and methods for 5G telecommunication call event timestamping to assist in debugging the flow of call events, such as during roaming, handover operations, or when user equipment (UE) accesses a different network slice. Specifically, a system for the provision of wireless telecommunication services can include a core network having a first UDR and a first UDM. The first UDM, upon receiving communication from one or more network functions, can communicate a first message to the first UDR. The first message can include a first timestamp indicating to the first UDR a first time that the first message was transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile Innovations LLCInventors: Anil Kumar Mariyani, Rajil Malhotra, Anuj Sharma

Patent number: 11681550Abstract: Systems and methods for threaded computing systems using allocated command identifier pools for command management are described. Command requests for different processing threads are received. Based on the thread assigned to process the command request, command identifiers are assigned from different pools of command identifiers for each thread, where each pool contains non-overlapping sets of command identifiers. The command identifiers are returned to the same pool that the command identifier came from upon completion of each command.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Albert Vainer, Itay Presiado, Ido Naveh

Patent number: 11675541Abstract: A memory device includes a command interface configured to receive a command from a host device via multiple command address bits. The memory device also includes a centralized command decoder configured to receive the command and to determine whether the command matches a bit pattern corresponding to multiple command types, such as a write command and a read command. The centralized command decoder is also configured to, in response to the command matching the bit pattern, asserting a latch signal. The memory device also includes a latch configured to capture the multiple command address bits based at least in part on assertion of the latch signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Liang Chen
