Read operations can be performed to read data stored at a data block. Parameters reflective of a separation between a pair of programming distributions associated with the data block can be determined based on the plurality of read operations. A read request to read the data stored at the data block can be received. In response to receiving the read request, a read operation can be performed to read the data stored at the data block based on the parameters that are reflective of the separation between the pair of programming distributions associated with the data block.

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: perform control to write original stream data to a first sequential recording medium; perform extraction processing of first data that is at least a part of the original stream data to be written to the first sequential recording medium and is to be used in a process for analysis; and perform control to write the first data to a second sequential recording medium.

There is provided an information processing system to increase a speed of returning identification information in response to a received command in the case where an identification information requesting command is received, the information processing system including: a plurality of processing devices each of which includes a storage unit configured to store an identification information piece; a management device configured to acquire the identification information piece from each of the plurality of the processing devices; and a communication device configured to communicate with an external device. The management device writes the identification information piece acquired from each of the plurality of the processing devices into the communication device. The communication device outputs a command received from the external device to one of the plurality of the processing devices on the basis of write orders of the identification information pieces written into the communication device by the management device.

Methods and systems are presented for providing data consistency in a distributed data storage system using an eventual consistency model. The distributed data storage system may store data across multiple data servers. To process a request for writing a first data value for a data field, a first data server may generate, for the first data value, a first causality chain representing a data replacement history for the data field leading to the first data value. The first data server may insert the first data value without deleting pre-existing data values from the data field. To process a data read request, multiple data values corresponding to the data field may be retrieved. The first data server may then select one data value based on the causality chains associated with the multiple data values for responding to the data read request.

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and an allocation agent embodied in a program of executable instructions and configured to, when executed by the processor, maintain an attribute index setting forth one or more attributes for each of one or more memory modules of the memory, and based on the one or more attributes and one or more memory requirements of an application executing on the information handling system, dynamically allocate the one or more memory modules to a namespace associated with the application.

A storage management device includes one or more memories including a plurality of storage regions associated with target values of performance of data transmission, and one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more processors configured to acquire, for each of the plurality of storage regions, a measured value of performance of data transmission, perform, when a first measured value for a first storage region in the plurality of storage regions does not satisfy a first target value associated with the first storage region, selection of a second storage region from selection candidates including one or more storage regions determined from the plurality of storage regions based on differences between each of the target values and each the measured value, and reduce a bandwidth allocated to the selected second storage region.

Embodiments for defending against speculative side-channel analysis on a computer system are disclosed. In embodiments, a processor includes a decoder, a cache, address translation circuitry, a cache controller, and a memory controller. The decoder decodes an instruction. The instruction specifies a first address associated with a data object, the first address having a first memory tag. The address translation circuitry translates the first address to a second address, the second address to identify a memory location of the data object. The comparator compares the first memory tag and a second memory tag associated with the second address. The cache controller detects a cache miss associated with the memory location. The memory controller, in response to the comparator detecting a match between the first memory tag and the second memory tag and the cache controller detecting the cache miss, loads the data object from the memory location into the cache.

A phase change memory system comprises a phase change memory device which includes a plurality of memory units including a plurality of memory cells in units of at least one or more codewords and a phase change memory controller which performs a chip refresh operation for refreshing the entire phase change memory device, wherein the phase change memory device includes a setting circuitry which determines one of the plurality of memory units in a desired manner, a refresh controller which refreshes the decided memory unit, a sensing circuitry which senses data of at least one or more codewords included in the refreshed memory unit, and a request circuitry which requests a host for the chip refresh operation on the basis of a result of the sensing operation.

A memory management method of a storage device including: programming write-requested data in a memory block; counting an elapse time from a time when a last page of the memory block was programmed with the write-requested data; triggering a garbage collection of the storage device when the elapse time exceeds a threshold value; and programming valid data collected by the garbage collection at a first clean page of the memory block.

A method, computer program product, and computer system for creating, by a computing device, a logical unit number (LUN) on a storage array node of a storage system. An identifier of the LUN of the storage array node may be provided to a computing system, wherein the computing system includes one of a host, a server, and the storage array node. An access control list (ACL) of the computing system may be created. The ACL of the computing system may be applied to the LUN based upon, at least in part, the identifier. The LUN may be discovered and mapped at the computing system. It may be determined that the computing system has failed. The ACL of the computing system that has failed may be removed from the LUN to prevent the computing system that has failed from accessing the LUN.
