A semiconductor chip is described. The semiconductor chip includes memory address decoder logic circuitry comprising different memory address bit manipulation paths to respectively impose different memory interleaving schemes for memory accesses directed to artificial intelligence information in a memory and non artificial intelligence information in the memory. The artificial intelligence information is to be processed with artificial intelligence logic circuitry disposed locally to the memory.

Architectural enhancements for computing systems having artificial intelligence logic disposed locally to memory

A high availability (HA) failover manager maintains data availability of one or more input/output (I/O) resources in a cluster by ensuring that each I/O resource is available (e.g., mounted) on a hosting node of the cluster and that each I/O resource may be available on one or more partner nodes of the cluster if a node (i.e., a local node) were to fail. The HA failover manager (HA manager) processes inputs from various sources of the cluster to determine whether failover is enabled for a local node and each partner node in an HA group, and for triggering failover of the I/O resources to the partner node as necessary. For each I/O resource, the HA manager may track state information including (i) a state of the I/O resource (e.g., mounted or un-mounted); (ii) the partner node(s) ability to service the I/O resource; and (iii) whether a non-volatile log recording I/O requests is synchronized to the partner node(s). The HA manager interacts with various layers of a storage I/O stack to mount and un-mount the I/O resources on one or more nodes of the cluster through the use of well-defined interfaces, e.g., application programming interfaces.
