A method for the self-diagnosis of RAM error detection logic of a powertrain controller includes: idling, by a first core, an operation of a second core; testing an error correction code (ECC) module corresponding to a RAM operating by the second core; idling, by the second core, an operation of a core of a plurality of un tested cores; and testing an ECC module corresponding to a RAM operating by the core of the plurality of untested cores.

A memory system controls a shift register memory and writes encoded data including a plurality of error correction code frames into a block of the shift register memory. The memory system is configured to store, into a location corresponding to a first layer in a first data storing shift string, first data included in a first error correction code frame, to store, into a location corresponding to a second layer in the first data storing shift string, second data included in a second error correction code frame, and to store, into a location corresponding to the second layer in a second data storing shift string, third data included in the first error correction code frame.

Disclosed are various embodiments for improving the resiliency and performance for clustered memory. A computing device can mark a page of the memory as being reclaimed. The computing device can then set the page of the memory as read-only. Next, the computing device can submit a write request for the contents of the page to individual ones of a plurality of memory hosts. Subsequently, the computing device can receive individual confirmations of a successful write of the page from the individual ones of the plurality of memory hosts. Then, the computing device can mark the page as free in response to receipt of the individual confirmations of the successful write from the individual ones of the plurality of memory hosts.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for a storage system, a storage system and a computer program product. The method comprises determining a first drive in a drive array is temporarily unavailable. The method further comprises setting the first drive in a frozen state. The method further comprises: in response to receiving a write request for the first drive during the frozen state, pending the write request or recording the write request in a second drive in the drive array. The method further comprises: in response to receiving a read request for the first drive during the frozen state, reconstructing data to which the read request is directed through data stored in a third drive in the drive array.

The present disclosure describes example service takeover methods, storage devices, and service takeover apparatuses. In one example method, when a communication fault occurs between two storage devices in a storage system, the two storage devices respectively obtain running statuses of the two storage devices. A running status can reflect current usage of one or more system resources of a particular storage device. Then, a delay duration is determined according to the running statuses, where the delay duration is a duration for which the storage device waits before sending an arbitration request to a quorum server. The two storage devices respectively send, after the delay duration, arbitration requests to the quorum server to request to take over a service. The quorum server then can select a storage device in a relatively better running status to take over a host service.

An IC chip can include a buffer and correction module that receives a set of multiphase clock signals at a given frequency, the buffer and correction module can include a differential skew detector that detects a skew between signals of the set of multiphase clock signals. The skew detector can include a set of SR latches. Differential clock signals of the set of multiphase clock signals are input into each SR latch, and the differential clock signals of the set of multiphase clock signals are set to be 180 degrees out of phase. A voltage difference between a DC component of a first output signal and a DC component of a second output signal of a respective SR latch in the set of SR latches varies as a function of the skew between the differential clock signals of the set of multiphase clock signals.

A memory device, and an operating method of the memory device and a host device are provided. The method of operating a memory device includes receiving a command for requesting an Eye Open Monitor (EOM) operation performance from a host device, receiving pattern data including data and non-data from the host device, performing the EOM operation which performs an error count to correspond to the data, and does not perform the error count on the non-data, and transmitting an EOM response signal including the error count result to the host device.
