A metadata processing method includes a network interface card in a storage device that receives an input/output (I/O) request, where the I/O request includes a data read request or a data write request; the network interface card executes a metadata processing task corresponding to the I/O request; and when determining that the metadata processing task fails to be executed, the network interface card requests a CPU in the storage device to execute the metadata processing task.

A memory address assignment method and a virtual machine that runs on a host machine. The host machine includes a physical memory area with power failure protection, the virtual machine includes a virtual memory area with power failure protection. The method includes determining that a virtual memory address in which a page fault occurs in the virtual machine belongs to the virtual memory area with power failure protection, and assigning a physical memory address of the host machine from the physical memory area with power failure protection to the virtual memory address.

An allocation instruction is received that includes a target data operand and a storage medium operand indicating a storage medium for storing the target data. A data dependency is identified that specifies metadata that includes access control information specifying which users have permission to perform a write operation to the file that includes the target data. In response to determining that the allocation instruction allocates the target data from a first storage medium to a second storage medium having a faster data IO rate, the allocation instruction is modified to also allocate the metadata specified in the data dependency to the second storage medium. In another aspect, the allocation instruction is modified to also allocate the metadata identified in the data dependencies to one or more storage mediums with data IO rates that are at least as fast as the second storage medium.

Data allocation among devices with different data rates

A method and a system for operating a wind turbine () during a fault. The system includes a pitch motor for rotating each rotor blade (), second pitch sensors () for determining when the rotor blade () is rotated to a set point, and a backup pitch controller (). After a fault is detected, the method determines whether the wind speed in the vicinity of the wind turbine () is less than or greater than or equal to a maximum rated velocity of the wind turbine (). The backup pitch controller () then rotates the rotor blades () to a specific set point based on the determination.

An allocation instruction is received that includes a target data operand and a storage medium operand indicating a storage medium for storing the target data. A data dependency is identified that specifies peripheral data on which the target data depends. In response to determining that the allocation instruction will cause the target data and the peripheral data to locate to different storage mediums having different data IO rates, the execution of the allocation instruction is prevented. In another embodiment, in response to determining that the allocation instruction allocates the target data from a first storage medium to a second storage medium having a faster data IO rate, the allocation instruction is modified to also allocate the peripheral data specified in the data dependency to the second storage medium.

Embodiments of the invention can provide systems, methods, and apparatus for monitoring and controlling a wind driven machine. According to one embodiment, a system including a wind driven machine with at least one component can be provided. The system can also include at least one data collection module for collecting operating data from the at least one component and for providing the operating data to at least one data processing module. The operating data can comprise an electrical characteristic associated with the at least one component. The data processing module can receive the operating data, determine whether the operating data indicates the component is operating in an alert condition and can provide an indicator when the component is operating in an alert condition.

A seal arrangement for sealing a bearing comprising a first component and a second component which are rotatably movable with respect to each other is provided. The seal arrangement includes brush seal having an annular brush body carried by the first component and a bundle of resiliently bendable bristles. The brush seal is adapted to maintain a sealing condition when the first and second component are moved relative to each other in a non-rotational manner. Further, a brush seal and a wind turbine having a brush seal are provided.

A control method and associated component configuration provide cooling for components within a wind turbine structure, such as a tower or nacelle. A recirculating airstream of internal air is established in the structure. For a defined set of operational conditions of the wind turbine that affect a required cooling capacity within the structure, the recirculating airstream is controllably augmented with external air to increase cooling capacity of the recirculating airstream. The amount of external air introduced into the structure is balanced with the amount of relatively hotter internal air within the structure so as to achieve a desired balance of temperature and relative humidity within the structure.
