20080219188 | Home Media Switch - A media switch includes a backplane. A controller module is connected to the backplane for transferring a user command to a media device. A set of audio/video signal busses are connected to the backplane for transferring signals. A power bus is connected to the backplane for supplying power. A bus interface is connected to the bus to provide a connection point for the media device. A bus switch is positioned between the interface and the bus for transferring signals to the bus. The switch is operated by the controller module. A command bus is connected to the backplane for transferring a user command to the media device via a command interface. | 09-11-2008 |
20100180131 | POWER MANAGEMENT MECHANISM FOR DATA STORAGE ENVIRONMENT - A method, system, and computer program product for facilitating power instability in a central electronics complex (CEC) of data storage computing environment in advance of a potential power failure is provided. Upon receipt of a first early power off warning (EPOW) signal indicating power instability, a first priority of execution of a first data storage task to be performed pursuant to a new data storage request is decreased, while a second priority of execution of a second data storage task to destage data in nonvolatile storage (NVS) to disk is increased. Upon receipt of a second EPOW signal indicating power failure, a system shutdown procedure is executed. | 07-15-2010 |
20120151167 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING READ-ONLY MEMORY - Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums for managing read-only memory are provided. A system includes a memory device including a real memory and a tracking mechanism configured to track relationships between multiple virtual memory addresses and real memory. The system further includes a processor configured to perform the below method and/or execute the below computer program product. One method includes mapping a first virtual memory address to a real memory in a memory device and mapping a second virtual memory address to the real memory. Here, the first virtual memory address is authorized to modify data in the real memory and the second virtual memory address is not authorized to modify the data in the real memory. One computer storage medium includes a computer program product for performing the above method. | 06-14-2012 |
20120233375 | ADJUSTMENT OF POST AND NON-POST PACKET TRANSMISSIONS IN A COMMUNICATION INTERCONNECT - In a communication interconnect such as PCIe which favors post transmissions such as write requests over non-post transmissions such as read requests and completions, methods and systems for shortening the delay for non-post transmissions while maintaining fairness among the post transmissions. Undispatched non-post transmission requests are monitored on a running basis; and when a running value of the undispatched non-post transmission requests exceeds a threshold; ones of the post transmission requests are randomly dropped. | 09-13-2012 |
20120254498 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING READ-ONLY MEMORY - A first virtual memory address is mapped to a real memory in a memory device, and a second virtual memory address is mapped to the real memory. Here, the first virtual memory address is authorized to modify data in the real memory and the second virtual memory address is not authorized to modify the data in the real memory. | 10-04-2012 |
20130007755 | METHODS, COMPUTER SYSTEMS, AND PHYSICAL COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIA FOR MANAGING RESOURCES OF A STORAGE SERVER - For managing a storage server having improving overall system performance, a first input/output (I/O) request is received. A first priority level is dynamically assigned to the first I/O request, the first I/O request associated with a performance level for an application residing on a host in communication with the storage server. A second I/O request of a second priority level is throttled to allow at least a portion of a predetermined amount of resources previously designated for performing the second I/O request to be re-allocated to performing the first I/O request. The second priority level is different than the first priority level. | 01-03-2013 |
