Active-active architecture for distributed ISCSI target in hyper-converged storage

A method is provided for a hyper-converged storage-compute system to implement an active-active failover architecture for providing Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) target service. The method intelligently selects multiple hosts to become storage nodes that process iSCSI input/output (I/O) for a target. The method further enables iSCSI persistent reservation (PR) to handle iSCSI I/Os from multiple initiators.

A method may include obtaining a plurality of first data distributions in which each data distribution corresponds to running a first quantum circuit using a first input at a different noise level of a plurality of noise levels. The method may include simulating the first quantum circuit as a classical circuit and obtaining a noiseless data distribution corresponding to running the classical circuit using the first input. The method may also include determining an error mitigation parameter by performing a data regression analysis between the noiseless data distribution and the plurality of first data distributions. The method may additionally include obtaining a second data distribution that corresponds to running a second quantum circuit using a second input. A modified second data distribution may be obtained by applying the error mitigation parameter to the second data distribution such that noise included in the second data distribution is removed.

Data loss recovery in a secondary storage controller from a primary storage controller

A secondary storage controller determines one or more tracks of one or more volumes in which data loss has occurred in the secondary storage controller. The secondary storage controller suspends a peer to peer remote copy operation between the secondary storage controller and a primary storage controller. Information on the one or more tracks of the one or more volumes in which the data loss has occurred is transmitted to the primary storage controller.

System recovery using a failover processor

Techniques for system recovery using a failover processor are disclosed. A first processor, with a first instruction set, is configured to execute operations of a first type; and a second processor, with a second instruction set different from the first instruction set, is configured to execute operations of a second type. A determination is made that the second processor has failed to execute at least one operation of the second type within a particular period of time. Responsive to determining that the second processor has failed to execute at least one operation of the second type within the particular period of time, the first processor is configured to execute both the operations of the first type and the operations of the second type.

Method of using a single controller (ECU) for a fault-tolerant/fail-operational self-driving system

In a self-driving autonomous vehicle, a controller architecture includes multiple processors within the same box. Each processor monitors the others and takes appropriate safe action when needed. Some processors may run dormant or low priority redundant functions that become active when another processor is detected to have failed. The processors are independently powered and independently execute redundant algorithms from sensor data processing to actuation commands using different hardware capabilities (GPUs, processing cores, different input signals, etc.). Intentional hardware and software diversity improves fault tolerance. The resulting fault-tolerant/fail-operational system meets ISO26262 ASIL-D specifications based on a single electronic controller unit platform that can be used for self-driving vehicles.
