Patent number: 12130741Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a multi-tiered approach to cache compression are disclosed. A cache includes a cache controller, light compressor, and heavy compressor. The decision on which compressor to use for compressing cache lines is made based on certain resource availability such as cache capacity or memory bandwidth. This allows the cache to opportunistically use complex algorithms for compression while limiting the adverse effects of high decompression latency on system performance. To address the above issue, the proposed design takes advantage of the heavy compressors for effectively reducing memory bandwidth in high bandwidth memory (HBM) interfaces as long as they do not sacrifice system performance. Accordingly, the cache combines light and heavy compressors with a decision-making unit to achieve reduced off-chip memory traffic without sacrificing system performance.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: SeyedMohammad SeyedzadehDelcheh, Shomit N.

The method involves detecting a change in the source data schema, and, in response to detecting the change in the source data schema, modifying the automated data import process. The modified automated data import process can subsequently be used to retrieve further data from the data source and update the target storage system based on the further retrieved data.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: HITACHI VANTARA LLCInventor: Christopher Soza

Patent number: 11449265Abstract: Partitions of drives are used to form a volume of a drive array. Each partition is associated with a trusted computing group (TCG) band. Each drive encrypts data stored on the partition with a key unique to the TCG band. The volume is formed using the partitions of the drives. In response to a band-based erasure being invoked on the volume, each drive of the plurality of drives overwrites the key of the TCG band associated with the partition and provides an erasure certificate attesting to the overwriting of the key. The erasure certifications from the drives are compiled into a consolidated erasure certification that attests to the erasure of the volume.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Varun Reddy Boddu, Siew Lian Tay

Patent number: 11436103Abstract: Replication of a filesystem or a mount point or share may replicate all data that it consists of irrespective of where the data is stored. Replication protects data irrespective of location. One method is to replicate the filesystem namespace as is while skipping the data outside of the appliance/machine so that replication cost and time are reasonable. The data outside of the machine, like cloud/tape data is protected differently. One example method includes a data protection operation configured to replication a namespace associated with multiple data tiers. During replication, data from one of the tiers is skipped while all of the namespace metadata is replicated. The recovery restores the namespace metadata and the data that was replicated from the other tier. This may be performed in connection with cyber security, for example when replicating multi-tier data to a vault.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Nitin Madan, Kalyan C.

Patent number: 11429733Abstract: A method for sharing secret data between multiple containers. In response to the initial booting of an operating system instance in a container, a unique operating system identifier is generated for the operating system instance. A grant authority stores the unique operating system identifier in a reserved area of a secure storage device. In response to a request from the operating system instance to access secret data in the secure storage device, the grant authority determines whether the unique operating system identifier is stored in the secure storage device. The operating system instance may be granted access to secret data in the non-reserved area of the secure storage device.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Klaus Werner, Jakob C. Lang, Joerg Schmidbauer, Angel Nunez Mencias

Patent number: 11397620Abstract: A method to deploy a plurality of event-driven application components of an event-driven application in a distributed computing environment is described. The method includes automatically analyzing application source code of the event-driven application, using one or more processors, to identify relationships between the plurality of event-driven application components. Thereafter, a set of rules are applied to, based on the automatic analysis, generate assignment data recording assignments of event-driven application components to a plurality of computational nodes in the distributed computing environment. The set of rules is also applied to determine component requirements for each of the plurality of event-driven application components required to support execution at an assigned computational node in the distributed computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: VANTIQ, INC.Inventors: Paul Butterworth, Evan Zhang, Steve Langley

Patent number: 11392488Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for optimizing storage of application data in memory are disclosed. According to one method for optimizing storage of application data in memory, the method includes receiving application data associated with an application. The method also includes generating, using information about the application, information about a processor, and information about a memory, a memory map indicating one or more memory locations in the memory for storing the application data. The method further includes storing, using the memory map, the application data in the one or more memory locations. The method also includes executing, using the processor, the application that uses the application data.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES SINGAPORE (SALES) PTE. LTD.Inventor: Matthew R. Bergeron

Patent number: 11388271Abstract: A first event occurs at a first computer at a first time, as measured by a local clock. A second event is initiated at a second computer by sending a message that includes the first time. The second event occurs at a second time, as measured by a local clock. Because of clock error, the first time is later than the second time. Based on the first time being later than the second time, an alternate second time, that is based on the first time, is used as the time of the second event. When a third system determines the order of the two events, the first time is obtained from the first computer, and the alternate second time is obtained from the second computer, and the order of the events is determined based on a comparison of the two times.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Cloudera, Inc.Inventors: David Alves, Todd Lipcon
