The invention is an apparatus for dynamic provisioning available as a multi-mode device that can be dynamically configured for balancing between storage performance and hardware acceleration resources on reconfigurable hardware such as an FPGA. An embodiment of the invention provides a cluster of these multi-mode devices that form a group of resilient Storage and Acceleration elements without requiring a dedicated standby storage spare. Yet another embodiment of the invention provides an interconnection network attached cluster configured to dynamically provision full acceleration and storage resources to meet an application's needs and end-of-life requirements of an SSD.

Multi-mode device for flexible acceleration and storage provisioning

This disclosure describes techniques for using a non-volatile-memory device such as flash memory to store memory data during hibernation or suspend. By so doing, hard drives and/or data are safer, and less power may be used.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for memory backup in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) system are described. The methods include detecting a failure in a main power supply that supplies power to a volatile memory that is coupled to a RAID controller, switching to a temporary power supply to supply power to the volatile memory in response to detecting the main power supply failure, and transferring data from the volatile memory to a non-volatile memory coupled to the RAID controller subsequent to switching to the temporary power supply.
