    Abstract: A system and method for managing a reduction in capacity of a memory sub-system. An example method involving a host system: determining, by a host system, that a failure affects a storage capacity of a memory sub-system, wherein the memory sub-system comprises stored data of a storage structure; instructing, by the host system, the memory sub-system to operate at a reduced capacity and to retain the stored data of the storage structure; receiving, by the host system, a set of storage units of the memory sub-system that are affected by the failure; and recovering, by the host system, data that was in the set of storage units affected by the failure.

    Abstract: A system and method for enhanced dispatch of an operationally critical system is disclosed. The method receives a minimum equipment list associated with the system including a plurality of dispatch critical applications with at least one dispatch critical application instance. A rules set determines a plurality of schedules of the dispatch critical application instances in compliance with the minimum equipment list, each schedule associates a specific processing resource with a specific dispatch critical application instance. A monitor tracks the availability of each dispatch critical application instance and, should one or more instanced become unavailable, the method implements an alternate schedule of dispatch critical application instances in accordance with the rules set and the minimum equipment list.

    Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for partially reconfiguring acceleration components. Partial reconfiguration can be implemented for any of a variety of reasons, including to address an error in functionality at the acceleration component or to update functionality at the acceleration component. During partial reconfiguration, connectivity can be maintained for any other functionality at the acceleration component untouched by the partial reconfiguration. Partial reconfiguration is more efficient to deploy than full reconfiguration of an acceleration component.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for external access detection and recovery in a subsystem of a system-on-a-chip (SoC) in a portable computing device (PCD) are presented. In operation, a subsystem of the SoC is operated in an internal mode independently of the SoC while the SoC is in a low power state, such as a non-functional or zero power state or mode. The subsystem comprises a processor in communication with a memory, a sensor, and a monitor module. The monitor module detects when the processor of the subsystem requests access to a component external to the subsystem. In response to this detected request, the SoC is caused to enter into a full power state or mode, and the subsystem is caused to exit the internal mode of operation.

    Abstract: A method for operating a virtual tape emulator that receives a request to access a directory in a disk array including a set of directories. The method includes determining whether the directory is stalled, and if so, preventing access to the directory. In another embodiment, a virtual tape emulator includes a request reception module configured to receive a request to access a directory in a disk array including a set of directories. The virtual tape emulator further includes a stall determination module configured to determine whether the directory is stalled, and an access prevention module configured to prevent access to the directory if the directory is stalled.

    Abstract: A memory cell reconfiguration process is performed in accordance with the operational characteristic settings determined based upon the results of analysis and/or testing of memory cell operations. The memory circuit can include a plurality of memory cells and memory cell configuration controller. The memory cells store information associated with a variety of operations. The memory cell configuration controller coordinates selective enablement and disablement of each of the plurality of memory cells, which can be done on a subset or group basis (e.g., enables and/or disables memory cells on a word length or row by row basis). The address mapping can be adjusted so that the memory space appears continuous to external components. The memory cell configuration controller can also forward configuration information to upstream and/or downstream components that can adjust operations to compensate for the memory cell configuration (e.g., to prevent overflow).
