Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, a subscription based model may be used to manage the managed systems. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to obtain information regarding capabilities of managed systems to present information regarding all potential solutions that the managed systems may provide. By presenting users with such information, the users may not need to be well versed in the underlying hardware and software components necessary for the solutions to be provided. As the hardware components of a managed system are changed over time, the compatible solutions may be continuously updated so that users may be continuously appraised of possible solutions that may be provided using the managed systems.

Abstract: Embodiments disclose techniques for scheduling test cases without regeneration to verify and validate a computing system. In one embodiment, a testing engine generates a test case for a plurality of processors. Each test case includes streams of instructions. The testing engine also allocates at least one cache line associated with the streams of instructions of the generated test case such that each of the plurality of processors accesses different memory locations within the at least one cache line. The testing engine further schedules the generated test case for execution by the plurality of processors to achieve at least a first test coverage among the plurality of processors. The testing engine further re-schedules the generated test case for re-execution by the plurality of processors to achieve at least a second test coverage among the plurality of processors.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reliable detection and enumeration of devices. In one embodiment, the controller comprises serialized bus protocol (e.g., a Universal Serial Bus (USB)) controller capable of supporting different bus architectures (e.g., USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) of the USB protocol (e.g., eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) controller). In one variant, when a USB-compliant device is detected over multiple bus architectures of a controller, the controller waits an additional period to allow the device to properly identify which bus architecture to use. After the time period has elapsed, if the device has been determined to be connected over the USB 3.0 bus architecture, the controller waits an additional period of time before enumerating the device. If the device is still present on the USB 3.0 bus architecture, the device continues to enumerate as a USB 3.0 advice to be made available to a host system.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to monitoring and managing storage drives installed on a backplane and performing backplane controller firmware update through a universal serial bus (USB) interface. When the backplane controller is connected to a host computer via the USB interface, the backplane controller sends USB descriptors to the host computer through the USB interface such that the host computer recognizes the backplane controller as a specific human interface device (HID) device based on the USB descriptors. Thus, the backplane controller and the host computer may transmit backplane drive management messages, such as the result to monitor and manage the storage drives, or the control commands and control data to monitor and manage the storage drives and to update the firmware of the backplane controller, as USB HID reports in a predefined format based on the USB descriptors.
