    Abstract: Recovery of a failed storage device of a RAID array to a replacement storage device is improved by initiating recovery before failure of the storage device occurs. If failure occurs before completing the transfer of all information from the failed storage device to the replacement storage device, then the RAID controller identifies untransferred information to recreate the failed storage device at the replacement storage device by re-building only the untransferred information with a parity operation using information stored at the array.

    Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for reducing the phase error in an NCO clock output to reduce the clock jitter. This is particularly beneficial where the frequencies of the NCO output and reference signal are unrelated. One embodiment provides a circuit that corrects the phase of the NCO output in two steps in order to obtain a substantially glitch-free, high-speed operation. During the first step, the output of the NCO is phase shifted to the closest quarter portion of a cycle of a clock signal. A second correction step is then performed by steering a number of currents under the control of at least some of a number of remainder bits from the NCO. The current steering provides a die area efficient, low-noise phase correction. The decoded remainder bits are latched using a feed forward circuit that prevents the device from entering a locked state.

    Abstract: Pixel clock frequency and optimum sampling phase adjustment is an important requirement in Flat panel display monitors (FPDM) with an analog video interface. This invention proposes a new and more advanced method for frequency and optimum sampling phase determination. It is based on analyzing the content of the image to arrive at an optimum value of phase and frequency by directly optimizing image quality. The method differs from existing methods on two counts. First, no assumptions are needed about the precise value of expected frequency. Second, instead of following a two step approach of first determining frequency and then phase, this invention makes possible a single pass phase-frequency optimization.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to track cluster nodes and provide high availability in a computing system. A computer system includes hosts, a cluster manager, and a cluster database. The cluster database includes entries corresponding to the hosts which identify the physical location of a corresponding host. The cluster manager uses the data to select at least two hosts and assign the selected hosts to a service group for executing an application. The cluster manager selects hosts via an algorithm that determines which hosts are least likely to share a single point of failure. The data includes a hierarchical group of location attributes describing two or more of a host's country, state, city, building, room, enclosure, and radio frequency identifier (RFID). The location-based algorithm identifies a group of selected hosts whose smallest shared location attribute is highest in the hierarchical group. The system updates the data whenever a physical location of a host changes.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for resolving split-brain scenarios in computer clusters may include (1) identifying a plurality of nodes within a computer cluster that are configured to collectively perform at least one task, (2) receiving, from a node within the computer cluster, a failure notification that identifies a link-based communication failure experienced by the node that prevents the nodes within the computer cluster from collectively performing the task, and, upon receiving the failure notification, (3) immediately prompting each node within the computer cluster to participate in an arbitration event in order to identify a subset of the nodes that is to assume responsibility for performing the task subsequent to the link-based communication failure. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a hysteretic power-supply controller includes a signal generator, frequency adjuster, and signal combiner. The signal generator is operable to generate a switching signal having a first level in response to a control signal being greater than a first reference value and having a second level in response to the control signal being less than a second reference value, the switching signal having an actual frequency and being operable to drive a switching stage that generates a regulated output signal. The frequency adjuster is operable to generate a frequency-adjust signal that is related to a difference between the actual frequency and a desired frequency. And the signal combiner is operable to generate the control signal from the frequency-adjust signal and the regulated output signal. Such a hysteretic power-supply controller may allow one to set the switching frequency to a desired value independently of the parameters of the power supply.
