Appl. No.:

12/415958

Inventors:

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718100, 709203

Abstract:

Aspects of a data environment, such as the creation, provisioning, and management of data stores and instances, are managed using a separate control environment. A user can call into an externally-facing interface of the control environment, the call being analyzed to determine actions to be performed in the data environment. A monitoring component of the control plane also can periodically communicate with the data environment to determine any necessary actions to be performed, such as to recover from faults or events in the data environment. A workflow can be instantiated that includes tasks necessary to perform the action. For each task, state information can be passed to a component in the data environment operable to perform the task, until all tasks for an action are completed. Data in the data environment can be accessed directly using an externally-facing interface of the data environment, without accessing the control plane.

8/897094

Paul David Franklin - Seattle WA

Assignee:

University of Washington - Seattle WA

International Classification:

G06F 1314

US Classification:

710107

Abstract:

A configurable computing architecture (10) has its functionality controlled by a combination of static and dynamic control, wherein the configuration is referred to as static control and instructions are referred to as dynamic control. A reconfigurable data path (12) has a plurality of elements including functional units (32, 36), registers (30), and memories (34) whose interconnection and functionality is determined by a combination of static and dynamic control. These elements are connected together, using the static configuration, into a pipelined data path that performs a computation of interest. The dynamic control signals (21) are suitably used to change the operation of a functional unit and the routing of signals between functional units. The static control signals (23) are provided each by a static memory cell (62) that is written by a host (13). The controller (14) generates control instructions (16) that are interpreted by a control path (18) that computes the dynamic control signals.

Abstract:

A data center may include a tape library rack module along with rack computer systems. The rack computer systems may be configured to provide computing capacity within a data center environment. In some embodiments, the tape library rack module may include an enclosure encompassing an interior of the tape library rack module, a rack within the interior, and a tape library unit mounted on the rack. The tape library rack unit may include tape cartridges configured to store data within a tape environment that is different than the data center environment. The tape library rack unit may be within a portion of the interior that is enclosed such that it is environmentally isolated from the data center environment. In some examples, the tape library rack module may include a cooling unit and/or a humidifier unit, which may provide the tape environment to the environmentally isolated portion of the interior of the tape library rack module.

International Classification:

Abstract:

Techniques described and suggested herein include various methods and systems for verifying integrity of redundancy coded data, such as erasure coded data shards. In some embodiments, a quantity of redundancy coded data elements, hereafter referred to as data shards (e.g., erasure coded data shards), sufficient to reconstruct the original data element from which the redundancy coded data elements are derived, is used to generate reconstructed data shards to be used for checking the validity of analogous data shards stored for the original data element.
