    摘要: Methods and systems provided herein involve extracting an input/output (I/O) operation from a packet received over an I/O pipeline, the I/O operation comprising either a read request to read data from at least one storage device or a write request to write data to the at least one storage device; determining that an address associated with the I/O operation exists in a lookup table that is provided for thin provisioning of the at least one storage device; performing one or more RAID calculations associated with the at least one storage device based on the address and the I/O operation; and accessing the at least one storage device to perform the I/O operation based on the one or more RAID calculations; and second processing component configured to carry out a second set of operations that occur when the address associated with the I/O operation does not exist in the lookup table.

    摘要: API in conjunction with a bridge chip and first and second hosts having first and second memories respectively. The bridge chip connects the memories. The API comprises key identifier registration functionality to register a key identifier for each of plural computer processes performed by the first host, thereby to define plural key identifiers; and/or access control functionality to provide at least computer process P1 performed by the first host with access, typically via the bridge chip, to at least local memory buffer M2 residing in the second memory, typically after the access control functionality first validates that process P1 has a key identifier which has been registered, e.g., via the key identifier registration functionality. Typically, the access control functionality also prevents at least computer process P2, performed by the first host, which has not registered a key identifier, from accessing local memory buffer M2, e.g., via the bridge chip.

    摘要: Systems and methods herein are for one or more processing units of a subnet manger (SM) to communicate configuration information with at least one subnet management agent (SMA) that is associated with at least one switch and with a host machine, the configuration information to enable the at least one switch to configure a forwarding table based in part on a mapping of at least one virtual network address to physical network addresses of two or more physical ports of the host machine, and the configuration information to enable the host machine to communicate with other host machines using the at least one switch and the at least one virtual network address.
