摘要： A loopback card includes a connector configured to connect to an IO interface and emulate a storage device interface. The connector includes a port configured to receive a set of signals from the IO interface and transmit them to a redriver. The connector is configured to receive the set of signals from the redriver and transmit them from the redriver to the IO interface. The connector includes control signal inputs configured to receive control signals from the IO interface. The connector further includes one or more logic gates configured to receive the control signals. The one or more logic gates apply a logic operation on the control signals to generate an output and route the output to the IO interface through the connector. The redriver is operably connected to the port and configured to receive the set of signals from the port and transmit them back to the port.

摘要： Described are embodiments of an invention for blocking write access to memory modules of a solid state drive. The solid state drive includes a controller access module or a memory access module that controls write access to the solid state drive and the memory modules of the solid state drive. Upon determining that a memory module has failed, the failed memory module or the entire solid state memory device is configured to be read only to prevent an errant write of data over critical data. Further, a failed memory module, or solid state device memory having a failed memory module, may be replaced upon failure.

摘要： Network traffic encoded in a first protocol is transmitted across a first communications link, wherein the first protocol allows a first plurality of simultaneous logical connections. The transmitted network traffic is received at a first interface between the first communications link and a second communications link. The received network traffic is encapsulated within frames at the first interface, wherein the frames are generated in accordance with a second protocol, and wherein the second protocol does not allow any plurality of simultaneous logical connections that are allowed by the first protocol. The frames are transmitted from the first interface to a second interface across the second communications link. The frames are received and then unencapsulated network traffic is generated from the frames at the second interface, wherein the second interface is between the second communications link and a third communications link. The unencapsulated network traffic is routed to a selected logical connection of a second plurality of simultaneous logical connections across the third communications link, wherein transmission across the third communications link is in the first protocol.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for credit depletion notification for transmitting frames between a port pair. Credits indicate a number of outstanding frames a first device may transmit to a second device. The credits are decremented in response to transmitting a frame to the second device. The credits are incremented in response to receiving a ready code from the second device indicating that the second device processed the transmitted frame. A determination is made as to whether additional credits are needed for communicating frames from the first device to the second device. A credit depletion notification is sent to the second device in response to determining that the additional credits are needed for communication with the second device.

摘要： A method to encode information holographically, wherein the method provides information, and generates a plurality of data images, wherein each data image comprises a portion of the information. The method holographically encodes each of the plurality of data images in a holographic data storage medium, generates a plurality of identifiers, and associates a different one of the plurality of identifiers with a different one of the plurality of data images. The method forms a directory image reciting each of plurality of identifiers, encodes the directory image in a non-holographic data storage medium, and holographically encodes the directory image in the holographic data storage medium.
