An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a network interface having a system interface, a media access interface and circuitry to construct a block of null values for a logical block address (LBA) in response to a remote storage system having informed the network interface that the LBA was un-mappable.

Network interface with intelligence to build null blocks for un-mappable logical block addresses

Systems and methods for a controller including controller memory and logic are presented herein. The logic is configured to control access to a persistent storage media and, in response to one or more commands, determine an intermediate parity value based on a first parity calculation by sending a uni-directional command to the persistent storage media. The logic is further configured to store, in the controller memory, the intermediate parity value, and determine a final parity value based on the intermediate parity value and a second parity calculation.

A die separation ring that causes non-uniform expansion of a semiconductor wafer during a semiconductor wafer expansion process. The die separation ring includes an annular body that extends about a central axis. The annular body of the die separation ring includes a first portion having a first elevation and a second portion having a second elevation that is lower than the first elevation. A third portion extends between the first portion and the second portion forming a transition between the first portion and the second portion.

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes an accelerator to be coupled to a memory region that the accelerator shares with a virtualization environment comprising a guest OS, a guest VM and an SSD device driver. The accelerator is to forward a submission queue doorbell setting made by the SSD device driver in the shared memory to a corresponding submission queue doorbell in an SSD controller.

Systems and methods for a controller including controller memory and logic are presented herein. The logic is configured to control access to a persistent storage media and, in response to one or more commands, the logic determines an intermediate parity value based on a first parity calculation, and using the intermediate parity value determines a final parity value based on the intermediate parity value and a second parity calculation. Determining the intermediate parity value includes sending a uni-directional command to read an old data value from an address indicated in the uni-directional command, perform an exclusive-or operation on the old data value and a new data value indicated in the uni-directional command to determine the intermediate parity value and store, in the persistent storage media, the intermediate parity value at a location associated to an index indicated in the uni-directional command.
