Techniques are provided for implementing intelligent defragmentation in a storage system. A storage control system manages a logical address space of a storage volume. The logical address space is partitioned into a plurality of extents, wherein each extent comprises a contiguous block of logical addresses of the logical address space. The storage control system monitors input/output (I/O) operations for logical addresses associated with the extents, and estimates fragmentation levels of the extents based on metadata associated with the monitored I/O operations. The storage control system identifies one or more extents as candidates for defragmentation based at least on the estimated fragmentation levels of the extents.

A method may include storing at least a portion of a metadata buffer of a persistent data structure in volatile memory, and storing at least a portion of a data buffer of the persistent data structure in persistent memory. A system may include a processor, a volatile memory coupled to the processor, and a persistent memory coupled to the processor. The processor may be configured to execute procedures including storing at least a portion of a metadata buffer of a persistent data structure in volatile memory, and storing at least a portion of a data buffer of the persistent data structure in persistent memory. A method may include storing at least a portion of a transient part of a persistent data structure in volatile memory, and storing at least a portion of a persistent part of the persistent data structure in persistent memory.

A plurality of work items are processed through a processing pipeline comprising a plurality of stages in processing logic. The processing of a work item includes: (i) reading data in accordance with a memory address associated with the work item, (ii) updating the read data, and (iii) writing the updated data in accordance with the memory address associated with the work item. The method includes processing a first work item and a second work item through the processing pipeline, wherein the processing of the first work item through the pipeline is initiated earlier than the processing of the second work item, and where it is determined that the first and second work items are associated with the same memory address, first updated data of the first work item is written to a register in the processing logic, and the processing of the second work item comprises reading the first updated data from the register instead of reading data from the memory.

There are provided methods and systems for correcting an error from a memory. For example, there is provided a system for mitigating an error in a memory. The system can include a memory controller communicatively coupled to a host. The memory controller may be configured to receive information associated with a memory location. The information can indicate the error at the memory location. The controller may be configured to perform, upon receiving the information, certain operations. The operations can include copying data around the memory location, placing the copied data in a reserved area. And the operations can further include outputting, to a central controller, a set of physical addresses associated with the reserved area, wherein the central controller is configured to modify the set of physical address to conduct a data recovery off-line.

A time period is received from a user over which memory settings of a microservice are to be dynamically managed. Memory settings for the microservice are stored in a configuration file. During the time period, memory utilization of a set of memory regions provided by a process virtual machine for execution of the microservice is monitored. The memory utilization of each memory region is analyzed to identify memory regions that have been over-utilized and memory regions that have been under-utilized. For each memory region identified as being over-utilized or under-utilized, a memory setting in the configuration file and corresponding to an identified memory region is changed. After the change and once the microservice has entered an idle state, a command is generated to restart the microservice so that the changed memory settings can take effect.

A system-on-chip is connected to a first memory device and a second memory device. The system-on-chip comprises a memory controller configured to control an interleaving access operation on the first and second memory devices. A modem processor is configured to provide an address for accessing the first or second memory devices. A linear address remapping logic is configured to remap an address received from the modem processor and to provide the remapped address to the memory controller. The memory controller performs a linear access operation on the first or second memory device in response to receiving the remapped address.

A method of labeling logic number units in a storage system results in the use of the same label for related LUNs in different storage arrays. A first storage array includes a first source logical unit number LUN, the second storage array includes a first target LUN, and the first source LUN and the first target LUN are a pair of active-active LUNs. The first storage array sends an assignable-address set of selectable labels for the first source LUN to the address assignment apparatus. The second storage array sends an assignable-address set of selectable labels for the first target LUN to the address assignment apparatus. The address assignment apparatus selects a label that is in both assignable-address sets of the first source LUN and first target LUN, and assign that selected label to both LUNs. Thereafter, the address assignment apparatus sends the selected label to the first storage array and the second storage array for identifying both the first source LUN and the first target LUN.

Described herein are systems, methods, and products utilizing a cache coherent switch on chip. The cache coherent switch on chip may utilize Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect open standard and allow for multi-host access and the sharing of resources. The cache coherent switch on chip provides for resource sharing between components while independent of a system processor, removing the system processor as a bottleneck. Cache coherent switch on chip may further allow for cache coherency between various different components. Thus, for example, memories, accelerators, and/or other components within the disclose systems may each maintain caches, and the systems and techniques described herein allow for cache coherency between the different components of the system with minimal latency.

Disclosed embodiments relate to adjusting vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software versions. Operations may include receiving a prompt to adjust an ECU of a vehicle from executing a first version of ECU software to a second version of ECU software; configuring, in response to the prompt and based on a delta file corresponding to the second version of ECU software, the second version of ECU software on the ECU in the vehicle for execution; and configuring, in response to the prompt, the first version of ECU software on the ECU in the vehicle to become non-executable.

The present disclosure is directed to efficient memory activation at runtime. A memory module (e.g., a memory riser) being added to a device would typically cause the device to enter system management mode (SMM) to activate the memory module. However, activation (e.g., memory module initialization, hardware training and system reconfiguration) in SMM may substantially delay the resumption of normal operations. Consistent with the present disclosure, at least the memory module initialization and hardware training portions of the activation may be performed by an operating system (OS) in the device, allowing normal device operation to continue during the activation. The OS portion of the activation may generate configuration data. In at least one embodiment, the configuration data may be applied for use in SMM. For example, a system management interrupt (SMI) handler may apply the configuration data during a quiescent period (e.g., a period of inactivity) that occurs during SMM.
