Telemetry Push Aggregation
20220357784 · 2022-11-10 ·

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing telemetry push aggregation techniques are described. A computing system includes one or more input/output (I/O) agents interposed between functional units and a communication fabric. A given I/O agent receives a set of aggregation rules from a power management unit. The I/O agent monitors traffic from the functional units, and the I/O agent generates telemetry data from the traffic data based on the set of aggregation rules. The telemetry data is used by the power management unit to make adjustments to one or more power settings.

The physical disk includes a set of physical extents and at least one physical extent of the set of physical extents is associated with an array of physical extents distributed across physical disks of the storage cluster. The method further includes transmitting a message to of the physical disks, to allocate replacement physical extents and assign the replacement physical extents to the array of physical extents and initiating reconstruction of data from the set of physical extents of the physical disk to the replacement physical extents.

System and method for supporting aggressive credit waiting in a high performance computing environment

System and method for aggressive credit waiting in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, systems and methods can provide for an indexed matrix of credit wait policies between ports within a single switch. In addition, systems and methods can provide for an array of credit wait polices at an egress port from a switch, the array being indexed by virtual lane.

Systems and methods for operation retry

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for operation retry. The system may determine whether a retry is allowed for a target operation based on a retry strategy included in a retry proxy component. In response to determining that the retry is allowed for the target operation, the system may execute the target operation. The system may detect whether there is an exception associated with the execution of the target operation. In response to determining that there is the exception associated with the execution of the target operation, the system may determine whether a retry is needed for the target operation based on the retry strategy. In response to determining that the retry is unneeded for the target operation, the system may stop the target operation.

SEPARATE CLOCKING FOR COMPONENTS OF A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT
20230096002 · 2023-03-30 ·

Systems and methods related to controlling clock signals for clocking shader engines modules (SEs) and non-shader-engine modules (nSEs) of a graphics processing unit (GPU) are provided. One or more dividers receive a clock signal CLK and output a clock signal CLKA to the SEs and output a clock signal CLKB to the nSEs. The frequencies of CLKA and CLKB are independently selected based on sets of performance counter data monitored at the SEs and nSEs, respectively. The clock signal frequency for either the SEs or the nSEs is reduced when the corresponding sets of performance counter data indicates a comparatively lower processing workload for the SEs or for the nSEs.

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC COMPUTER MEMORY PROTECTION
20230099543 · 2023-03-30 · ·

Systems and methods herein secure computer memory from potential hacks. In one embodiment, a system includes a computer memory, and a memory protection module communicatively coupled to the computer memory. The memory protection module is operable to assign a counter value to a write Input/Output (I/O) request, to encrypt data of the write I/O request based on the counter value, and to write the encrypted data to a location of the computer memory. The counter value comprises a version number of the write I/O request and, for example, the location of the computer memory to where the data of the write I/O request is being written in the computer memory. The memory protection module is further operable to compute the version number based on memory access patterns of an application writing to the computer memory.
