A method for enhancing synchronization coverage for a logic code is provided. The method comprises tracking whether one or more code sections in the logic code are blocked by at least another code section in the logic code, or whether one or more code sections in the logic code are blocking at least another code section in the logic code, during one or more test runs; and including one or more delay mechanisms in the logic code to introduce a delay in execution of a first code section in the logic code, wherein length of introduced delay is dependent on whether the first code section was blocked by a second code section or whether the first code section was blocking the second code section.

A computer implemented method for generating a storage policy for a storage system based on simulation results associated with a state of the storage system is provided. The method comprises receiving a target function applicable to a storage system, wherein the target function represents a measure of values associated with storage parameters related to productivity and loss tolerance of the storage system; wherein the simulation results for a state of the storage system are calculated based on a least one of (a) the storage system simulated response to a set of simulated file-related storage operation requests generated based on one or more simulation rules, (b) the state of the storage system before responding to the set of simulated file-related storage operation requests, (c) the storage system target function; and (d) rules for simulating file-related storage operation requests.

A mechanism is provided for managing operations in a data storage system. A first storage controller monitors operation state information associated with a plurality of operation states stored in a data structure. The first storage controller detects a change in the operation state information. The change in the operation state information is in response to a managing entity updating the operation state information to a first operation state in the plurality of operation states in the data structure. Responsive to detecting the change in the operation state information, the first storage controller identifies a reference to a first operation associated with the first operation state updated by the managing entity. The first operation is one operation in a plurality of operations. The first storage controller performs the first operation associated with the first operation state.

Device, system, and method of storage controller having simulated volumes. For example, an apparatus for data storage management includes: a storage controller to manage access to one or more physical volumes, the storage controller including a simulation module to simulate access to one or more simulated volumes.

A method for processing a document including a field containing information in a predefined domain includes defining a directory of data relating to the predefined domain. An image of the field containing the information is received from a client via a computer network. The image is processed to code the information, and the coded information is looked up in the directory so as to check whether the information is coded correctly.
摘要:
A method for storing an information block that includes determining to store a current version of an information block stored in a memory unit. The checking if a current version of the information is already stored in a storage unit. The current version of the information block is sent from the memory unit to the storage unit if the answer is negative. Generating storage unit location information indicative of a location, at the storage unit, of the current version of the information block if the answer is positive.
摘要:
A method for improving performance in a storage system is provided. The method comprises receiving a request to destage a partial stride of data from a storage cache; reserving space for a full stride of data on one or more storage devices; allocating the partial stride of data to the reserved space; adding padding for unallocated blocks, wherein the unallocated blocks are reserved for future updates; and destaging the full stride of data to the storage devices, wherein the full stride of data comprises the allocated partial stride of data and the padded unallocated blocks.
摘要:
A method of testing a system includes providing a shared memory including at least one value and at least one lock associated with the at least one value, the at least one lock including one or more shared read sublocks and an exclusive write sublock, providing a plurality of subsystems in communication with the shared memory and configured to access and update the at least one value, providing a test application on at least one of the plurality of subsystems, and running the test application on the one of the plurality of subsystems. A list of locks and values given to the test application includes a pre-existing list of locks and values in the system under the testing.
摘要:
A method for managing a group of targets is provided. The method includes: receiving a request to update a x'th generation copy of a data entity, where x is a positive integer. Then applying an update function responsive to x such as to update a first sub-group of targets. Then receiving a request to read a y'th generation copy of the data entity and (iv) applying a retrieve function responsive to y such as to search for the y'th generation copy of the data entity in a second sub-group of targets. The first and second sub-groups intersect only once and only if y does not exceed x.
