Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include determining that data in a group of memory cells of a first memory device is to be moved to a spare group of memory cells. The group of memory cells spans a first dimension and a second dimension that is orthogonal to the first dimension and the spare group of memory cells also spans the first dimension and the second dimension. The data is read from the group of memory cells along the first dimension of the group of memory cells. The data is written to the spare group of memory cells along the second dimension of the spare group of memory cells.

A method including executing a portion of a service which is part of at least one service provided by a system including a distributed computing platform; determining object capability parameters required to perform the executing; storing information about at least one target host device; generating an announcement message reporting presence of a service type and the object capability parameters; receiving information from other announcement messages; evaluating current host device capability parameters with respect to the object capability parameters; determining when the current host device capability parameters meet a criterion; initiating a migration request message from the object for migration of the object, the object including software code and processing instructions and service function instructions, the migration to a target object host device, when the module capability parameters meet a criterion; and managing the migration of the object to the target host device.

A computer system includes a first baseboard management controller (BMC) and a first host of the first BMC. The first host operates a first storage service at the first host. The first host is a first storage device connected to one or more storage drives. The first storage service managing a first Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) controller for accessing user data stored on the one or more storage drives through a storage network. The first BMC receives state information of the one or more storage drives. The first BMC sends notifications to a client of the first BMC, in response to receiving the state information.

A method for authorizing I/O (input/output) commands in a storage cluster is provided. The method includes generating a token responsive to an authority initiating an I/O command, wherein the token is specific to assignment of the authority and a storage node of the storage cluster. The method includes verifying the I/O command using the token, wherein the token includes a signature confirming validity of the token and wherein the token is revocable.

A plurality of storage nodes within a single chassis is provided. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to communicate together as a storage cluster. The plurality of storage nodes has a non-volatile solid-state storage for user data storage. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to distribute the user data and metadata associated with the user data throughout the plurality of storage nodes, with erasure coding of the user data. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to recover from failure of two of the plurality of storage nodes by applying the erasure coding to the user data from a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to detect an error and engage in an error recovery via one of a processor of one of the plurality of storage nodes, a processor of the non-volatile solid state storage, or the flash memory.

A method for authorizing I/O (input/output) commands in a storage cluster is provided. The method includes generating a token responsive to an authority initiating an I/O command, wherein the token is specific to assignment of the authority and a storage node of the storage cluster. The method includes verifying the I/O command using the token, wherein the token includes a signature confirming validity of the token and wherein the token is revocable.

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include determining that data in a group of memory cells of a first memory device is to be moved to a spare group of memory cells. The group of memory cells spans a first dimension and a second dimension that is orthogonal to the first dimension and the spare group of memory cells also spans the first dimension and the second dimension. The data is read from the group of memory cells along the first dimension of the group of memory cells. The data is written to the spare group of memory cells along the second dimension of the spare group of memory cells.

The disclosure provides a data processing device and method. The data processing device may include: a task configuration information storage unit and a task queue configuration unit. The task configuration information storage unit is configured to store configuration information of tasks. The task queue configuration unit is configured to configure a task queue according to the configuration information stored in the task configuration information storage unit. According to the disclosure, a task queue may be configured according to the configuration information.

A computer system includes a BMC and a host of the BMC. The BMC receives a first message from a first remote device on a management network. The BMC determines whether the first message is directed to a storage service or fabric service executed on a central processing unit of the host. The host is a storage device. The central processing unit is in commutation with a RDMA controller through an external communication channel. The RDMA controller being managed by the storage service. The BMC extracts a service management command from the first message, when the first message is directed to the storage service or fabric service. The BMC sends, through a BMC communication channel to the host, a second message containing the service management command to the host. The BMC communication channel has been established for communicating baseboard management commands between the BMC and the host.

A radiation hardened, digital to analog converter includes first and second serial communication circuits, a common bus interface configured to connect the first and second serial communication circuits to first and second digital serial communication buses, respectively, and a digital to analog converter circuit, where the first and second serial communication circuits are configured to receive data over the first and second digital serial communication buses, respectively, for use by the digital to analog converter circuit.
