The technology disclosed herein provides a memory blade including a plurality of fabric switches configured to receive commands from a plurality of host clients, an address decoder and tracker circuit communicatively connected to the fabric switches and configured to determine the source of commands received at the fabric switches an aggregator crossbar configured to provide bandwidth aggregation between host clients and a plurality of memory modules; and a buffer module configured to couple the commands from the plurality of host clients with the plurality of memory modules.

Fault-tolerant memory appliance

Apparatus and method for executing hidden computational functions in a distributed data processing environment. In some embodiments, a trust boundary includes a target device such as a storage device, and a source device such as a client device in a computer network. A storage device processor executes a hidden command function (HCF) routine to accumulate HCF output data in a local cache responsive to an HCF command received from the client device over a data interface. The processor further establishes a smaller retention boundary within the trust boundary that includes the storage device and excludes the client device. The HCF output data are stored locally in a non-volatile memory (NVM) of the storage device while not transferring any portion of the HCF output data outside the retention boundary, including to the client device. The HCF routine can update a block-chain ledger or take some other form to provide data security.

Performing remote hidden compute functions in one or more processing devices

Apparatus and method for maintaining real-time coherency between a local cache of a target device and a client cache of a source device during execution of a distributed computational function. In some embodiments, a source device, such as a host computer, is coupled via a network interface to a target device, such as a data storage device. A storage compute function (SCF) command is transferred from the source device to the target device. A local cache of the target device accumulates output data during the execution of an associated SCF over an execution time interval. Real-time coherency is maintained between the contents of the local cache and a client cache of the source device, so that the client cache retains continuously updated copies of the contents of the local cache during execution of the SCF. The coherency can be carried out on a time-based granularity or an operational granularity.

Maintaining real-time cache coherency during distributed computational functions

A gutter screen for for preventing leaves, pine needles, and other debris from clogging a longitudinally extending gutter comprises a first moveable leg adapted to slideably fit within a longitudinally extending gutter. The first moveable leg includes a plurality of spaced and sized aperture allowing the flow of water therethrough while preventing the passage of leaves, pine needles, and other debris. A second moveable leg adapted to be slideably fit within a longitudinally extending gutter includes a plurality of spaced and sized apertures. The second leg is hingedly secured to the first leg allowing movement of the first leg and the second leg in relation to each other permitting the gutter screen to be slideably secured within the longitudinally extending gutter while allowing the gutter screen to be folded and stored in a flat configuration.

Lateral gutter screen

This invention relates in general to a measuring device for portable chain saws, and more particularly to a measuring device which is attachable to any portable power saw, for measuring the logs or other materials being cut, so that the cut section will be of a predetermined uniformed length. This invention is characterized by the fact that the measuring element originates immediately below the cutting chain, and can be pivoted to the left or right of the blade, or retracted into storage in the same plane as the blade or chain.
