Because the entire screen region is the input window, the input view for drawing the virtual keyboard floats in the input window, and the position and size of the input view can be adjusted as desired, thereby facilitating one-hand operation by the user, realizing the rapid input, and improving the input efficiency. | 2017-10-19 |
20170300228 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE LOCKLESS SCALABLE TARGET - A method for accessing data stored in a target of a data storage system includes: running a plurality of transport threads on a first group of CPUs, wherein each of the plurality of transport threads comprises a command receiver path and a command transmitter path; running a plurality of data path threads on a second group of CPUs, wherein each of the plurality of data path threads comprises a command issue path and a command completion path; posting an I/O command to an I/O command issue queue using the command receive path of a transport thread, and processing the I/O command using the command issue path of a data path thread; and posting an I/O completion notification to an I/O completion queue using the command completion path of the data path thread, and processing the I/O completion notification using the command transmitter path of the transport thread. | 2017-10-19 |
20170300229 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A ZERO CONTENTION PARALLEL DATA STACK - According to one embodiment, a method includes: assigning a target port to a control path thread of an application to access data stored in a storage device of a data storage system; creating a storage device path corresponding to the target port; running the data path thread to access the data stored in the storage device; and running a control path thread to process a management work request to operate on one of objects including the target port, the storage device path, and the storage device. The control path thread is configured to send the management work request to the data path thread asynchronously. The data path thread is configured to complete the management work request and send a management work request completion response to the control path thread asynchronously. | 2017-10-19 |
