    Abstract: A data storage system with a parallel array of dense memory cards and high airflow is described. In one example, a rack-mount enclosure has a horizontal plane board with memory connectors and external interfaces. Memory cards each have a connector to connect to a respective memory connector of the horizontal plane board, each memory card extending parallel to each other memory card from the front of the enclosure and extending orthogonally from the first side of the horizontal plane board. A power supply proximate the rear of the enclosure and the first side of the horizontal plane board provides power to the memory cards through the memory card connectors and has a fan to pull air from the front of the enclosure between the memory cards and to push air out the rear of the enclosure.

    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, system and method for offloading data transfer operations between source and destination storage devices to a hardware accelerator. The hardware accelerator includes a memory space and control logic to receive, from a host processor, a command descriptor indicating at least one source storage device having transfer data to transfer to at least one destination storage device and a computational task to perform on the transfer data. The control logic sends read commands to the at least one source storage device to read the transfer data to at least one read buffer in the memory space and performs the computational task on the transfer data to produce modified transfer data. The control logic writes the modified transfer data to at least one write buffer in the memory space to cause the modified transfer data to be written to the at least one destination storage device.

    Abstract: A semiconductor die includes one or more semiconductor devices (e.g., memory array, processors), first and second banks of I/O ports arranged along one or more sides of the die, and a multiplexing circuit. The multiplexing circuit can be changed between a first state and a second state. In the first state the first bank of I/O ports is coupled to the semiconductor device(s) and the second bank of I/O ports is not coupled to the semiconductor device(s), and in the second state the first bank of I/O ports is not coupled to the semiconductor device(s) and the second bank of I/O ports is coupled to the semiconductor device(s). The state of the multiplexing circuit can be set, for example, by an on-die fuse circuit or an externally accessible select line. The semiconductor die can be included in a chip package, which can be included on a printed circuit board.

    Abstract: A data storage system is described with an array of front fans and moving doors for airflow control. In one example an enclosure is configured to mount in a rack. A horizontal plane board in the enclosure has memory connectors aligned in a row and external interfaces. Memory cards connect to a respective memory connector of the board. Removable fans at the front of the enclosure push air along the memory cards to the rear and doors at the front of the enclosure, each have an open position to accommodate a corresponding fan and a closed position to block airflow when the corresponding fan is removed.
