    摘要: The present invention describes lossless data compression/decompression methods and systems. A random access memory (RAM) operates as a static dictionary and includes commonly used strings/symbols/phrases/words. An input buffer operates as a dynamic dictionary and includes input strings/phrases/symbols/words. A set-associative cache memory operates as a hash table, and includes pointers pointing to the commonly used strings/symbols/phrases/words in the static dictionary and/or pointing to one or more of the input strings/phrases/symbols/words in the dynamic dictionary. Alternatively, the set-associative cache memory combines the dynamic dictionary, the static dictionary and the hash table. When encountering a symbol/phrase/string/word in the static or dynamic dictionary in an input stream, a compressor logic or module places a pointer pointing to the symbol/phrase/string/word at a current location on the output stream. The hash table may include phrases/symbols/strings/words and/or pointers pointing to phrases/symbols/strings/words.

    摘要: The present invention reduces the number of writes to a main memory to increase useful life of the main memory. To reduce the number of writes to the main memory, data to be written is written to a cache line in a lowest-level cache memory and in a higher-level cache memory(s). If the cache line in the lowest-level cache memory is full, the number of used cache lines in the lowest-level cache reaches a threshold, or there is a need for an empty entry in the lowest-level cache, a processor or a hardware unit compresses content of the cache line and stores the compressed content in the main memory. The present invention also provides LZB algorithm allowing decompression of data from an arbitrary location in compressed data stream with a bound on the number of characters which needs to be processed before a character or string of interest is processed.

    摘要: Two methods (native and clone) are used for installing software, such as an operating system, on client system(s) booting from shared storage. The native installation method configures an interconnection network to create an exclusive communication zone between the client system and the shared storage system and installs the operating system on the client system using the exclusive communication zone. After the software is installed, the method terminates the exclusive communication zone. The clone installation method utilizes a point-in-time copy feature of the shared storage system to clone an operating system drive instantaneously. After the drive is cloned, it is logically attached to a new client and the operating system is customized for that client.

    摘要: In a system with hardware main memory compression, the method of this invention monitors the physical memory utilization and if physical memory is near exhaustion it forces memory to be paged out, thus freeing up real memory pages. These pages are then zeroed, thus they are highly compressible and therefore reduce the physical memory utilization. Pages that have been forced out due to high physical memory utilization are not made available for allocation. In systems where operating system changes are permitted, this invention dynamically controls the minimum size of the free page pool and zeros pages upon freeing. When the physical memory utilization falls below a critical threshold the mechanism reduces the minimum size of the free pool to allow further allocation. In systems where operating system changes are not possible, pages are allocated by a module (e.g. Device driver) and then zeroed. When the physical memory utilization falls below a critical threshold this method frees some of the explicitly set aside pages.
