In one embodiment, a system comprises a host processor and a storage system. The storage system comprises one or more storage devices, and each storage device comprises a non-volatile memory and a compute offload controller. The non-volatile memory stores data, and the compute offload controller performs compute tasks on the data based on compute offload commands from the host processor.

Computational data storage systems

Techniques for storage and processing for distributed file systems are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, padding is placed between data elements in a file to be stored on a distributed file system. The file is to be split into several objects in order to be stored in the distributed file system, and the padding is used to prevent a data element from being split across two different objects. The objects are stored on data nodes, which analyze the objects to determine which data elements are present in the object as well at the location of those objects. The location of the objects is saved on the data storage device, and those locations can be used to perform queries on the data elements in the object on the data storage device itself. Such an approach can reduce transfer of data elements from data storage to local memory of the data node.

Technologies for storage and processing for distributed file systems

Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a compute offload controller that may include a parser to parse a received compute offload command, and identify a block-based compute descriptor based at least in part on the compute offload command. In some embodiments, the compute offload controller may further include an offload executor to perform an operation on data in a block-based storage device based at least in part on the block-based compute descriptor. In some embodiments, the block-based compute descriptor may include a virtual input object, a virtual output object, and a compute type identifier. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Compute offload in block storage using virtual objects

Examples may include techniques to monitor processing of I/O requests of an application being executed by a computing platform by collecting a trace of the I/O requests, the trace including an I/O class of each I/O request; replay the trace and automatically analyze possible cache configuration policies for using a cache during execution of the application by the computing platform; and determine an optimal cache configuration policy for the cache from the possible cache configuration policies. The optimal cache configuration policy may then be applied to use of the cache during subsequent execution of the application by the computing platform.

Cache utility modeling for automated cache configuration

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for obtaining file information regarding a file to be downloaded from a remote location to a computing device, creating at least one empty file in a destination storage based on the file information and communicating block information regarding the empty file to a network interface, and receiving a data packet of the file in the network interface and directly sending a payload of the data packet from the network interface to the destination storage according to the block information, while a host processor of the computing device is in a low power state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Storing data using a direct data path architecture to reduce energy consumption and improve performance

An apparatus and method for implementing virtual USB ports are described herein. Embodiments of a system including a computer, which includes a first USB stack, a first remote host controller function implementing a first virtual USB port, an abstraction of a remote host controller, and a host controller, coupled with said computer, operating in combination with said abstraction of a remote host controller as a USB host controller of said computer, is described. Other embodiments are also described.

Virtual USB port system and method

A driver and methods therefore provide automated testing of USB client devices in real-time. The driver may use the layered driver or filter driver feature in Microsoft&#xae; Windows&#xae; Driver Model (WDM) layered architecture for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The driver may be inserted between the USB bus driver and the USB client driver stack. The driver may intercept, inspect, and modify the requests between the client drivers and the bus driver.

Method and driver for detecting glitches

An apparatus and method for remote USB host controlling are described herein.
