An example processor includes a plurality of processor core components, a memory interface component, and an address translation gasket. Each processor core component is assigned to one of a plurality of system images, and the plurality of system images share a common memory component by at least utilizing the address translation gasket to maintain separation between memory regions assigned to each of the plurality of system images. The memory interface component is shared by the plurality of independent system images. The address translation gasket is configured to intercept transactions bound for the memory interface component comprising a system image identifier and a target address, generate a translation address based at least in part on the system identifier and the target address, and send the translation address to the memory interface component.

A memory support structure includes a base for physically and electrically connecting to a substrate. When so connected, the memory support structure extends orthogonal to the substrate to a height of at least 2.5 cm. The memory support structure provides at least three sockets for receiving and engaging memory modules so that they extend parallel to the substrate. The memory support structure also includes electrical pathways for electrically connecting the sockets and the base so that a memory module inserted into one of said sockets is electrically connected to the substrate.

To migrate data from a first storage system to a second storage system, the second storage system detects a migration of a persistent storage media from the first storage system to the second storage system. In response to detecting the migration of the persistent storage media, write information from a write cache in the first storage system is copied to a write cache in the second storage system, where the write caches in the first and second storage systems were not maintained synchronously before the write information from the write cache in the first storage system is copied to the write cache in the second storage system.

A multi-server computing system includes a plurality of server modules mounted in an enclosure; each server has a universal serial bus (USB) interface. An enclosure onboard administration (OA) module is also mounted in the enclosure and has an addressable communication interface for connection to a remote management system and a USB interface connected to each of the plurality of servers. The USB interface of the enclosure OA operates as a master and the USB interface of each of the plurality of servers acts as a slave to the enclosure OA, such that each of the server modules can be managed by the remote management system using a single communication address.

Aerodynamic forces contribute to disk and actuator vibration leading to track positioning errors in storage devices such as hard disk drives. The invention provides a variety of dampening mechanisms and a method of dampening to alleviate these problems.
摘要:
A system and method for voltage and frequency margining of a digital system such as a digital processing system. Various implementations of the present invention may be utilized to programmatically vary the voltage and or frequency utilized by one or more components within a processing system to effect changes in system and or component margining.
摘要:
A computer system adapted for hot-pluggable components such as memory modules that may be replaced, upgraded and/or added without disturbing normal operation of the computer system. A failing memory module may be replaced by copying its contents to a new memory module in a background operation while the computer system runs its operating system and applications programs. When all contents are copied to the new memory module, the failing memory module may be removed without having to shut down the computer system. Computer system memory may be upgraded or added to by inserting the new memory module(s) into vacant disconnected memory connectors, whereupon the computer system automatically recognizes the new memory module(s), synchronously connects the new memory module(s) to the computer system memory bus, initializes the new memory module(s), and then notifies the operating system that the new memory module(s) is available, all without disturbing normal operation of the computer system.
