Systems and methods of tracking page state changes are provided. An input/output is communicatively coupled to a host having a memory. The I/O device receives a command from the host to monitor page state changes in a region of the memory allocated to a process. The I/O device, bypassing a CPU of the host, modifies data stored in the region based on a request, for example, received from a client device via a computer network. The I/O device records the modification to a bitmap by setting a bit in the bitmap that corresponds to a location of the data in the memory. The I/O device transfers contents of the bitmap to the CPU, wherein the CPU completes the live migration by copying sections of the first region indicated by the bitmap to a second region of memory. In some implementations, the process can be a virtual machine, a user space application, or a container.

Examples provide a method of communication between a client application and a filesystem server in a virtualized computing system. The client application executes in a virtual machine (VM) and the filesystem server executes in a hypervisor. The method includes: allocating, by the client application, first shared memory in a guest virtual address space of the client application; creating a guest application shared memory channel between the client application and the filesystem server upon request by the client application to a driver in the VM, the driver in communication with the filesystem server, the guest application shared memory channel using the first shared memory; sending authentication information associated with the client application to the filesystem server to create cached authentication information at the filesystem server; and submitting a command in the guest application shared memory channel from the client application to the filesystem server, the command including the authentication information.

A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to issue an unaligned transaction, determine that there is a transfer failure indication for the unaligned transaction, and retry the unaligned transaction with either a different alignment or a different transfer size. The different alignment or the different transfer size is used for another unaligned transaction from a same address range upon successful retry of the unaligned transaction.

A method includes receiving a memory access request comprising a first memory address and translating the first memory address to a second memory address using a first page table associated with the first virtual machine. The first page table indicates whether the memory of the first virtual machine is encrypted. The method further includes determining that the first virtual machine is nested within a second virtual machine and translating the second memory address to a third memory address using a second page table associated with the second virtual machine. The second page table indicates whether the memory of the second virtual machine is encrypted.

Technologies for allocating resources of managed nodes to workloads to balance multiple resource allocation objectives include an orchestrator server to receive resource allocation objective data indicative of multiple resource allocation objectives to be satisfied. The orchestrator server is additionally to determine an initial assignment of a set of workloads among the managed nodes and receive telemetry data from the managed nodes. The orchestrator server is further to determine, as a function of the telemetry data and the resource allocation objective data, an adjustment to the assignment of the workloads to increase an achievement of at least one of the resource allocation objectives without decreasing an achievement of another of the resource allocation objectives, and apply the adjustments to the assignments of the workloads among the managed nodes as the workloads are performed. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
