    摘要: A method for flash sparing on a solid state drive (SSD) includes detecting a failure from a primary memory device; determining if a failure threshold for the primary memory device has been reached; and, in the event the failure threshold for the primary memory device has been reached: quiescing the SSD; and updating an entry in a sparing map table to replace the primary memory device with a spare memory device.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided for enabling throttling on average write throughput instead of peak write throughput for solid-state storage devices. The mechanism assures an average write throughput within a range but allows excursions of high throughput with periods of low throughput offsetting against those of heavy usage. The mechanism periodically determines average throughput and determines whether average throughput exceeds a high throughput threshold for a certain amount of time without being offset by periods of low throughput.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided for a flash array test engine. The flash array test engine includes a circuit. The circuit is configured to generate test workloads in a test mode for testing a flash device array, where each of the test workloads includes specific addresses, data, and command patterns to be sent to the flash device array. The circuit is configured to accelerate wear in the flash device array, via the test workloads, at an accelerated rate relative to general system workloads that are not part of the test mode. The circuit is configured to vary a range of conditions for the flash device array to determine whether each of the conditions passes or fails and to store failure data and corresponding failure data address information for the flash device array.

    摘要: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method for facilitating a preferred parts plan for an enterprise over a computer network utilizing a parts review process tool. The method comprises: receiving a bill of material from a client system that includes a non-preferred part; storing the bill of material in a bill of material review database; periodically searching and extracting non-preferred parts records from the bill of material review database; importing the non-preferred parts records into a deviation database; evaluating risk factors associated with non-preferred parts usage; developing an action plan to mitigate risks in using the non-preferred parts; developing a preferred parts strategy for use in minimizing requests to use non-preferred parts; and communicating the preferred parts strategy over a computer network to enterprise client systems.

    摘要: Methods, systems and apparatus for defining, updating and communicating the current status of parts used by an enterprise to designers and procurement specialists. Allowable values of preferredness of parts are defined based on technology roadmaps, and these values are periodically checked in a current time period against certain criteria, and changes are made in the preferredness values to reflect current conditions in the time period and current estimates for future conditions. Software, including algorithms, is changed as required to implement the changes in the preferredness values, and the updated software is released for use by procurement and design personnel for ensuring consistency of values of preferredness and preferred part codes within an enterprise.
