In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for presentation of direct accessed storage under a logical drive model; for implementing a distributed architecture for cooperative NVM Data protection; data mirroring for consistent SSD latency; for boosting a controller's performance and RAS with DIF support via concurrent RAID processing; for implementing arbitration and resource schemes of a doorbell mechanism, including doorbell arbitration for fairness and prevention of attack congestion; and for implementing multiple interrupt generation using a messaging unit and NTB in a controller through use of an interrupt coalescing scheme.

Presentation of direct accessed storage under a logical drive model

Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution. Furthermore, the computing system enables customers to pay only when their code gets executed with a granular billing down to millisecond increments.

Function as a service (FaaS) system enhancements

A solution is presented to securing endpoints without the need for a separate bus or communication path. The solution allows for controlling access to endpoints by utilizing a management protocol by overlapping with existing interconnect communication paths in a packet format and utilizing a PCI address BDF (Bus number, Device number, and Function number) for verification.

Method, apparatus, and system for manageability and secure routing and endpoint access

Technologies for prioritized execution of storage commands by a data storage device include determining a priority of storage commands issued by a host and adding the storage commands to a queue of the data storage device based on the determined priority of the storage command. For example, the storage command issued by the host may be divided into sub-commands and added to a storage sub-command queue of the data storage device based on the determined priority of the storage command. The priority of the storage commands may be determined based on any suitable criteria including, for example, the host storage command queue storing the storage command, metadata associated with the storage command, the type or size of the storage command, and/or other aspects of the storage command, the host, and/or the data storage device.

Technologies for prioritizing execution of storage commands

Embodiments of the invention describe a system main memory comprising two levels of memory that include cached subsets of system disk level storage. This main memory includes 'near memory' comprising memory made of volatile memory, and 'far memory' comprising volatile or nonvolatile memory storage that is larger and slower than the near memory. The far memory is presented as 'main memory' to the host OS while the near memory is a cache for the far memory that is transparent to the OS, thus appearing to the OS the same as prior art main memory solutions. The management of the two-level memory may be done by a combination of logic and modules executed via the host CPU. Near memory may be coupled to the host system CPU via high bandwidth, low latency means for efficient processing. Far memory may be coupled to the CPU via low bandwidth, high latency means.

Two-level system main memory

Embodiments of the invention describe a system main memory comprising two levels of memory that include cached subsets of system disk level storage. This main memory includes 'near memory' comprising memory made of volatile memory, and 'far memory' comprising volatile or nonvolatile memory storage that is larger and slower than the near memory. The far memory is presented as &#x201c;main memory&#x201d; to the host OS while the near memory is a cache for the far memory that is transparent to the OS, thus appearing to the OS the same as prior art main memory solutions. The management of the two-level memory may be done by a combination of logic and modules executed via the host CPU. Near memory may be coupled to the host system CPU via high bandwidth, low latency means for efficient processing. Far memory may be coupled to the CPU via low bandwidth, high latency means.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving an information packet in a first port from an interconnect while an agent associated with the first port is in an idle low power state, transmitting a first signal from the first port along the interconnect to request re-transmission of the information packet, and sending a second signal from the first port to the agent to cause the agent to enter a fully active power state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Enabling idle states for a component associated with an interconnect

Some embodiments of the invention accurately account for power dissipation in memory systems that include individual memory modules by keeping track of the number of read requests, the number of write requests, and the number of activate requests that are applied to the individual memory modules during selected time periods. If the sum of these totals exceeds a threshold level, the embodiments throttle the memory system, either by throttling the entire memory system based in response to the most active memory module, or by throttling individual memory modules as needed. Other embodiments of the invention may assign the same or different weights to activate requests, read requests, and write requests. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
