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: An integrated electronic card front EMI cage and latch is described that is suitable for use in a data storage system. In an example a latch module for an electronic component housing has a latch housing having an arm with an attachment point to fasten the latch housing to an end of the housing and an EMI cage having a front body and a plurality of fingers extending from the front body, the front body being held to the end of the housing by the latch housing and the fingers being configured to be outside an exterior of the housing on at least two sides of the housing to block electromagnetic interference from passing along the at least two sides of the housing.

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: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a connector for a memory device in a computing system. In one embodiment, the connector includes a housing having a cavity to receive a mating end of a printed circuit board (PCB). The cavity includes first groups of first contacts arranged along an inside wall of the cavity, to engage with respective second groups of second contacts arranged around the mating end of the PCB. The cavity further includes a bar disposed inside the cavity to bridge the cavity, to receive a notch formed on the mating end of the PCB. A depth of the notch defines a number of the first groups of first contacts to be engaged with a respective number of the second groups of second contacts on the mating end of the PCB.

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.
