Abstract: A hardware neural network engine which uses checksums of the matrices used to perform the neural network computations. For fault correction, expected checksums are compared with checksums computed from the matrix developed from the matrix operation. The expected checksums are developed from the prior stage of the matrix operations or from the prior stage of the matrix operations combined with the input matrices to a matrix operation. This use of checksums allows reading of the matrices from memory, the dot product of the matrices and the accumulation of the matrices to be fault corrected without triplication of the matrix operation hardware and extensive use of error correcting codes. The nonlinear stage of the neural network computation is done using triplicated nonlinear computational logic. Fault detection is done in a similar manner, with fewer checksums needed and correction logic removed as compared to the fault correction operation.

Abstract: Distributed storage systems frequently use a centralized metadata repository that stores metadata in an eventually consistent distributed database. However, a metadata repository cannot be relied upon for determining which erasure coded fragments are lost because of a storage node(s) failures. Instead, when recovering a failed storage node, a list of missing fragments is generated based on fragments stored in storage devices of available storage nodes. A storage node performing the recovery sends a request to one or more of the available storage nodes for a fragment list. The fragment list is generated, not based on a metadata database, but on scanning storage devices for fragments related to the failed storage node. The storage node performing the recovery merges retrieved lists to create a master list indicating fragments that should be regenerated for recovery of the failed storage node(s).

The deployment server is accessed using a service account that does not require human intervention and the execution of the job is triggered within the execution time window to cause the deployment server to deploy the monitoring agent at the host computing node.
