Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a plurality of flexible electrical conductors configured as a cable wherein a plurality of signal pairs connect printed circuit boards in an array of data storage devices or just a bunch of disks (JBOD) enclosure. By controlling various specific dimensions relating to each signal pair of electrical conductors in a flexible cable, the performance of a JBOD box or a data storage server can be maximized. Furthermore, flexible cable designs can themselves replace bulkier circuit boards enabling greater air flow through the JBOD box or data storage server.

Abstract: Computing components housed in a chassis interacts with a bidirectional slide rail system. The bidirectional slide rail system allows the computing components to be maneuvered in two directions—it may be pulled out about halfway to the front of the cabinet and/or pulled out halfway out of the back of the cabinet. This allows for easier access to components of the storage server and allows such components to be serviced from the top of the chassis.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for remote rendering of computer graphics. The system includes a graphics application program resident at a remote server. The graphics application is invoked by a user or process located at a client. The invoked graphics application proceeds to issue graphics instructions. The graphics instructions are received by a remote rendering control system. Given that the client and server differ with respect to graphics context and image processing capability, the remote rendering control system modifies the graphics instructions in order to accommodate these differences. The modified graphics instructions are sent to graphics rendering resources, which produce one or more rendered images. Data representing the rendered images is written to one or more frame buffers. The remote rendering control system then reads this image data from the frame buffers. The image data is transmitted to the client for display or processing. In an embodiment of the system, the image data is compressed before being transmitted to the client. In such an embodiment, the steps of rendering, compression, and transmission can be performed asynchronously in a pipelined manner.

Abstract: A processor (600) in a distributed shared memory multi-processor computer system (10) may initiate a flush request to remove data from its cache. A processor interface (24) receives the flush request and performs a snoop operation to determine whether the data is maintained in a one of the local processors (601) and whether the data has been modified. If the data is maintained locally and it has been modified, the processor interface (24) initiates removal of the data from the cache of the identified processor (601). The identified processor (601) initiates a writeback to a memory directory interface unit (24) associated with a home memory 17 for the data in order to preserve the modification to the data. If the data is not maintained locally or has not been modified, the processor interface (24) forwards the flush request to the memory directory interface unit (22). Memory directory interface unit (22) determines which remote processors within the system (10) have a copy of the data and forwards the flush request only to those identified processors. The identified processors then remove the data from their respective caches in response to the flush request. If an identified remote processor has modified data, the identified remote processor initiates a writeback to the memory directory interface unit (22) for preservation of the modified data.

Abstract: Resource acquisition requests for a filesystem are executed under user configurable metering. Initially, a system administrator sets a ratio of N:M for executing N read requests for M write requests. As resource acquisition requests are received by a filesystem server, the resource acquisition requests are sorted into queues, e.g., where read and write requests have at least one queue for each type, plus a separate queue for metadata requests as they are executed ahead of any waiting read or write request. The filesystem server controls execution of the filesystem resource acquisition requests to maintain the ratio set by the system administrator.

Abstract: A cluster of computer system nodes share direct read/write access to storage devices via a storage area network using a cluster filesystem. At least one trusted metadata server assigns a mandatory access control label as an extended attribute of each filesystem object regardless of whether required by a client node accessing the filesystem object. The mandatory access control label indicates the sensitivity and integrity of the filesystem object and is used by the trusted metadata server(s) to control access to the filesystem object by all client nodes.
