Title: Tier identification (TID) for tiered memory characteristics

Abstract

A tier identification (TID) is to indicate a characteristic of a memory region associated with a virtual address in a tiered memory system. A thread may be serviced according to a first path based on the TID indicating a first characteristic. The thread may be serviced according to a second path based on the TID indicating a second characteristic.

Mechanical seal having a double-tier mating ring

Patent Khonsari, Michael M.; Somanchi, Anoop K.

An apparatus and method to enhance the overall performance of mechanical seals in one of the following ways: by reducing seal face wear, by reducing the contact surface temperature, or by increasing the life span of mechanical seals. The apparatus is a mechanical seal (e.g., single mechanical seals, double mechanical seals, tandem mechanical seals, bellows, pusher mechanical seals, and all types of rotating and reciprocating machines) comprising a rotating ring and a double-tier mating ring. In a preferred embodiment, the double-tier mating ring comprises a first and a second stationary ring that together form an agitation-inducing, guided flow channel tomore » « less

Parallel storage system with burst buffer appliance for storage of partitioned key-value store across a plurality of storage tiers

Patent Bent, John M.; Faibish, Sorin; Grider, Gary; ...

Parallel storage systems are provided with a burst buffer appliance for storage of a partitioned key-value store across a plurality of storage tiers. The burst buffer appliance is configured to store key-value data on first and second storage tiers comprising respective disjoint subsets of storage. One or more servers in the partitioned key-value store provide (i) an interface between one or more local key-value stores and one or more additional storage architectures, and/or (ii) a key value interface that provides access to at least one hardware key-value store. The local key-values are optionally sorted both locally by the local storemore » « less

Method and system for reducing metadata overhead in a two-tier storage architecture

Patent Bent, John M.; Faibish, Sorin; Ting, Dennis Pei Jean; ...

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for maintaining dynamically loadable namespaces. The method includes presenting, to an application, a file system having a global single namespace (SN) comprising a plurality of dynamically-loadable namespaces (DLNs) maintained in a capacity tier (CT) of object storage of a storage system. In response to a job submitted by the application, dynamically loading a first dynamically-loadable namespace, including the metadata only for the first dynamically-loadable namespace, associated with the job from the capacity tier of object storage into a fast tier (FT) of storagemore » of the storage system. « less

Two-tier tube-trailer operation method and system to reduce hydrogen refueling cost

Patent Reddi, Krishna; Elgowainy, Amgad

A method and system are provided for operating refueling station tube-trailers and compressors to reduce hydrogen refueling cost. A hydrogen refueling station includes a two-tier fuel supply of pressure vessels on a refueling station tube-trailer, with a first tier and a second tier of pressure vessels including at least one or more pressure vessels connected together. A separate control unit is coupled to the first tier and the second tier of pressure vessels with each of the control units coupled to a compressor. The compressor is coupled to a high pressure buffer storage by a separate control unit. In operation,more » « less

Method and system for semantic metadata compression in a two-tier storage system using copy-on-write

Patent Bent, John M.; Faibish, Sorin; Grider, Gary; ...

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for managing metadata. The method includes determining a common characteristic of metadata entries for a plurality of files in a directory of a file system and computing a representative metadata entry for the plurality of metadata entries according to the common characteristic of the metadata entries. The plurality of metadata entries in the file system then may be represented according to the computed representative metadata entry.
