Abstract: A system includes a number of hard disk drives and a controller. Each hard disk drive is selected from a number of different hard disk drive types. Each hard disk drive type has a different speed at which the hard disk drives of the hard disk drive type rotate to read and write data. At least one of the hard disk drives is of a different hard disk drive type than at least one other of the hard disk drives. The controller, responsive to a request to write particular data to the hard disk drives, is to select a given hard disk drive of the hard disk drives based on a type of the particular data, and is to write the particular data to the given hard disk drive.

Abstract: A system includes disk storage to provide differentiated storage QoS for a plurality of IO classes. Each IO class has a plurality of applications to it. A QoS controller collects IO statistics for each application and each class. The QoS controller adaptively determines an IO class assignment for each application based at least in part on the collected IO statistics.

Abstract: A transactional memory system uses a volatile memory as primary storage for transactions. Data is selectively stored in a non-volatile memory to impart durability to the transactional memory system to allow the transactional memory system to be restored to a consistent state in the event of data loss to the volatile memory.

Abstract: A hard disk drive includes a storage surface, a motor, a read/write had, and a number of regions into which the storage surface is divisible. Data is writable to and data is readable from the storage surface. The motor is to rotate the storage surface at a variable speed. The read/write head is to write data to and read data from the storage surface while the storage surface is rotated by the motor. Each region corresponds to a different speed at which the storage surface is rotated for the read/write head to write data to and read data from the region.

Abstract: A model is constructed to determine performance of each computing application based on allocation of resources (including at least one hardware resource) to the computing applications. How the allocation of the resources to the computing applications affects the performance is unknown beforehand. The resources are allocated to the computing applications based at least on the model. Where the resources are overloaded as allocated to the computing applications, performance degradation of each computing application is performed based at least on priorities of the computing applications relative to one another and on the model. Performance degradation reduces usage of the resources by the computing applications so that the resources are no longer overloaded. How the priorities of the computing applications affect the performance degradation in a relative manner to one another is known and predictable beforehand.

Abstract translation: 构建模型以基于对计算应用的资源（包括至少一个硬件资源）的分配来确定每个计算应用的性能。 对计算应用程序的资源分配如何影响性能是事先未知的。 至少基于模型将资源分配给计算应用程序。 在分配给计算应用程序的资源超载的情况下，每个计算应用程序的性能下降至少基于计算应用程序相对于彼此的优先级和模型执行。 性能下降降低了计算应用程序对资源的使用，从而资源不再重载。 计算应用程序的优先级如何以彼此相对的方式影响性能下降是事先已知和可预测的。
