Examples herein include a computer system and methods. Some computer systems comprise two or more devices (each device comprises at least one processing circuit), where each computing device comprises or is communicatively coupled to one or more optical network interface controller (O-NIC) cards. Each O-NIC card comprises at least two bidirectional optical channels to transmit data and to receive additional data from each O-NIC card communicatively coupled to a device, over a channel. The system also includes one or more interfaces and a memory. Program instructions execute a method on one or more processors in communication with a memory, and the method includes modifying, during runtime of at least one application, a pairing over a given bidirectional optical channel of an interface of the interfaces to a given device.

A chip includes a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) switch, a dual-mode device, and a signal transmission control circuit. The PCIe switch includes a first downstream port. The dual-mode device switches between a root complex (RC) mode and an endpoint (EP) mode. The signal transmission control circuit is coupled between the PCIe switch and the dual-mode device. The first downstream port communicates with the dual-mode device operating under the EP mode. The signal transmission control circuit allows an external PCIe device to communicate with the dual-mode device operating under the RC mode.

The present disclosure relates to digital signal processing architectures, and more particularly to a modular object-oriented digital system architecture ideally suited for radar, sonar and other general purpose instrumentation which includes the ability to self-discover modular system components, self-build internal firmware and software based on the modular components, sequence signal timing across the modules and synchronize signal paths through multiple system modules.

A plurality of computing devices are communicatively coupled to each other via a network, and each of the plurality of computing devices is operably coupled to one or more of a plurality of storage devices. A plurality of failure resilient stripes is distributed across the plurality of storage devices such that each of the plurality of failure resilient stripes spans a plurality of the storage devices. A graphics processing unit is operable to access data files from the failure resilient stripes, while bypassing a kernel page cache. Furthermore, these data files may be accessed in parallel by the graphics processing unit.

A Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) device, apparatus, and method with different PCIE bandwidths compatible in the same PCIE slot. The device includes a PCIE single board. A first core chip corresponding to a first PCIE XN device and a second core chip corresponding to a second PCIE XN device are arranged on the PCIE single board. An XN+XN gold finger is further arranged on a body of the PCIE single board. The XN+XN gold finger is formed by two XN gold fingers.

A nonvolatile memory system is disclosed. The nonvolatile memory system includes a host device and a storage device connected to the host device through a physical cable including a power line and a data line. The storage device includes: a nonvolatile memory; a link controller configured to temporarily deactivate the data line while supplying power from the host device through the power line; and a memory controller including a user verification circuit configured to authenticate a user of the storage device and change a state of the memory controller according to a verification result, a relink trigger circuit configured to control the link controller based on the state change of the memory controller, and a data processing circuit configured to encrypt and decrypt data.

An information handling system may perform a quick boot based on a determination that a boot does not require an update to at least one of a firmware and hardware of an information handling system. The information handling system may reboot and may determine whether a boot of the system requires an update to at least one of a firmware and hardware of the information handling system. If the boot does not require an update to the at least one of a firmware and hardware of the information handling system, the information handling system may boot by bypassing one or more basic input/output system (BIOS) power-on self-test (POST) operations.

Allocating peripheral component interface express (PCIe) streams in a configurable multiport PCIe controller, including: detecting, by a PCIe controller, a link by a first PCIe device; and allocating, for the link between the PCIe controller and the first PCIe device, a first one or more PCIe streams from a pool of PCIe streams.

A device in an interconnect network is provided. The device comprises an end point processor comprising end point memory and an interconnect network link in communication with an interconnect network switch. The device is configured to issue, by the end point processor, a request to send data from the end point memory to other end point memory of another end point processor of another device in the interconnect network and provide, to the interconnect network switch, the request using memory addresses from a global memory address map which comprises a first global memory address range for the end point processor and a second global memory address range for the other end point processor.

An computing device for dual-access high-performance storage for BMC to host data sharing includes a storage device, a host input/output (“IO”) domain hardware, a BMC that includes an external data connection, and a switch that includes a connection to the host TO domain hardware, a connection to the storage device, a connection to a root port in the BMC, and a connection to an end point port of the BMC. The switch is configured to connect the host TO domain hardware to the end point port of the BMC and configured to alternately connect the root port of the BMC to the storage device while uploading data from the external data connection to the storage device, and the host TO domain hardware to the storage device to permit the host TO domain hardware to access to the data uploaded from the external data connection.
