Updating inactive compute instances is disclosed. It is determined that a first compute instance that boots from an operating system image on a first storage device is in an inactive state. It is determined that updates to the operating system image on the first storage device exist. The operating system image is copied from the first storage device to a second storage device. The operating system image on the second storage device is updated with the updates to generate an updated operating system image on the second storage device. The updated operating system image is copied form the second storage device to the first storage device in place of the operating system image.

A processing device in a memory sub-system sends a program command to the memory device to cause the memory device to initiate a program operation on a corresponding wordline and sub-block of a memory array of the memory device. The processing device further receives a request to perform a read operation on data stored on the wordline and sub-block of the memory array, sends a suspend command to the memory device to cause the memory device to suspend the program operation, reads data corresponding to the read operation from a page cache of the memory device, and sends a resume command to the memory device to cause the memory device to resume the program operation.

A memory, a method controlling method and a system are disclosed. The memory includes: an array of memory cells; a power manager; an instruction decoder; a controller; and an I/O interface, including a chip select pin. In the standby state, the instruction decoder and controller are enabled; in the power-down state, the instruction decoder is enabled; and in the deep power-down state, they are all disabled. In response to receiving a chip select signal, the memory enters the power-down state from the deep power-down state. The memory of the present disclosure provides the deep power-down state that disables the decoder, and the memory in the deep power-down state exits directly to the power-down state to achieve some functions without enabling all components, thereby reducing power consumption.

A vehicle system having: a hardware level, a first operating system, and a virtual machine integrated on the hardware level having a second operating system. A hypervisor operates the virtual machine such that the first and the second operating systems) are operated in parallel on the hardware. A first application is executed on the first operating system and a second application is executed on the second operating system. The first application has a higher safety standard than the second application. The second operating system is configured to be operated in suspend-to-RAM mode while the first operating system is switched off.

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for dynamic configuration and enforcement of access lanes to I/O controllers. The System may include a plurality of Input/Output (I/O) controllers and a plurality of lanes. The system may also include a lane mapping module configured to multiplex at least one of the I/O controllers to at least one of the lanes based on a configuration. The system may further include a first processor configured to detect a change request, the change request to modify the configuration from an existing configuration to a new configuration; and a second processor configured to: verify that the new configuration is valid based on a stock keeping unit (SKU) associated with the system; and, if the verification is successful, store the new configuration in non-volatile memory and reset the system.

Systems, devices, and/or computer-implemented methods for secure offline data storage are provided herein. More particularly, a system is provided that permits access to a data storage device when offline from various components of the system. Furthermore, the disclosed system may permit the re-setting of authentication passwords/PINs for the data storage devices, even when such data storage devices are offline from other components of the system.

Subject matter disclosed herein may relate to wireless energy harvesting devices and may relate more particularly to system-on-a-chip testing for wireless energy harvesting devices.

In some examples, an embedded controller of a computing device may detect, when the computing device is in a low-power state, that a smartcard has been connected to a port of the computing device or that data has been received from an input device (e.g., keyboard or biometric input device) connected to the computing device. For the smartcard, the embedded controller may use a card driver to read data stored on the smartcard. The embedded controller may compute a hash value based on the data read from the smartcard or received from the input device. If the hash value matches a previously stored hash value, then the embedded controller may initiate a boot-up process of the computing device. If the hash value does not match the previously stored hash value, then the embedded controller may cause the computing device to remain in the low-power state.

A pulse counting apparatus operating at a low power and an operation method thereof are provided. The pulse counting apparatus includes a pulse counter configured to count a number of pulses inputted from outside of the pulse counting apparatus and generate an interrupt signal; a timer unit configured to generate a wake-up signal according to a preset time; a real time clock (RTC) configured to serve as a clock of the pulse counter and the timer unit; and a processor configured to switch from a sleep mode to an active mode when the interrupt signal or the wake-up signal is generated.

Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing virtualization operations—including an activate operation, suspend operation, and resume operation for virtualization in a virtualization system. In operation, a unique identifier and file metadata associated with a first file stored in a cache engine. The cache engine manages the first file of an application running on the virtual machine to circumvent writing file data of the first file to an OS disk during a suspend operation of the virtual machine and circumvents reading file data of the first file from the OS disk during a resume operation of the virtual machine. Based on a resume operation associated with the virtual machine and the file metadata, file data of the first file that is stored in the cache engine is accessed. The file data is communicated to the virtual machine, the virtual machine is associated with the suspend and the resume operation.
