摘要： Multiple domains are created for processes of a storage server. The processes are capable of execution on a plurality of processors in the storage server. The domains include a first domain, which includes multiple threads that can execute processes in the first domain in parallel, to service data access requests. A data set managed by the storage server is logically divided into multiple subsets, and each of the subsets is assigned to exactly one of the threads in the first domain, for processing of data access requests directed to the data set.

摘要： A load balancer allocates requests to a pool of web servers configured to have low queue capacities. If the queue capacity of a web server is reached, the web server responds to an additional request with a rejection notification to the load balancer, which enables the load balancer to quickly send the rejected request to another web server. Each web server self-monitors its rejection rate. If the rejection rate exceeds a threshold, the number of processes concurrently running on the web server is increased. If the rejection rate falls below a threshold, the number of processes concurrently running on the web server is decreased.
摘要翻译：负载平衡器将请求分配给配置为具有低队列容量的Web服务器池。如果达到Web服务器的队列容量，则Web服务器将响应额外的请求，并向负载均衡器发送拒绝通知，这使负载平衡器能够将拒绝的请求快速发送到另一个Web服务器。每个Web服务器自我监控其拒绝率。如果拒绝率超过阈值，则在Web服务器上同时运行的进程数量增加。如果拒绝率低于阈值，则在Web服务器上同时运行的进程数量减少。

摘要： A method for executing uniprocessor (UP) coded workloads in a computer capable of concurrent thread execution is disclosed. The method identifies threads in the uniprocessor coded workloads (UP-workloads) which can execute concurrently, and identifies threads in the UP-workloads which cannot execute concurrently. First threads which cannot execute concurrently are assigned to a first concurrency group. Second threads which cannot execute concurrently are assigned to a second concurrency group. Any thread in the first concurrency group can execute concurrently with any thread in the second concurrency group. The computer capable of concurrent thread execution then executes the UP-coded workloads in the first concurrency group at substantially the same time as executing the UP-coded workloads in the second concurrency group.
摘要翻译：公开了一种在能够并发线程执行的计算机中执行单处理器（UP）编码工作负载的方法。该方法识别可以并发执行的单处理器编码工作负载（UP工作负载）中的线程，并识别不能同时执行的UP工作负载中的线程。不能同时执行的第一个线程被分配给第一个并发组。不能同时执行的第二个线程被分配给第二个并发组。第一个并发组中的任何线程都可以与第二个并发组中的任何线程同时执行。能够并行线程执行的计算机在与第二并发组中执行UP编码的工作负载基本上相同的时间执行第一并发组中的UP编码工作负载。

摘要： A file system layout apportions an underlying physical volume into one or more virtual volumes (vvols) of a storage system. The underlying physical volume is an aggregate comprising one or more groups of disks, such as RAID groups, of the storage system. The aggregate has its own physical volume block number (pvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that pvbn space. Each vvol has its own virtual volume block number (vvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that vvbn space. Notably, the block allocation structures of a vvol are sized to the vvol, and not to the underlying aggregate, to thereby allow operations that manage data served by the storage system (e.g., snapshot operations) to efficiently work over the vvols.
摘要翻译：文件系统布局将底层物理卷分配到存储系统的一个或多个虚拟卷（vvols）中。底层物理卷是包含存储系统的一组或多组磁盘（如RAID组）的聚合。聚合具有自己的物理卷块数（pvbn）空间，并在该pvbn空间内维护诸如块分配结构之类的元数据。每个vvol具有自己的虚拟卷块号（vvbn）空间，并在该vvbn空间内维护诸如块分配结构的元数据。值得注意的是，vvol的块分配结构的大小适合于vvol，而不是基础聚合，从而允许管理由存储系统服务的数据（例如，快照操作）的操作有效地在vvols上工作。

摘要： A system and method enhances performance of updates to sequential block storage of a storage system. According to an aspect of the invention, a disk array of the storage system is utilized to extend write buffers of the system, thereby rendering a portion of the disk array a disk-based log. To that end, one portion of the disk array is organized into a home location array having a set of sequential home locations for disk blocks. Another portion of the disk array is organized into the disk-based log having a set of log buffers configured to store versions of disk blocks that have yet to be returned to their home locations in the home location array. In addition, non-volatile memory of the storage system is organized as an index configured to provide efficient mappings of disk blocks not yet returned to their home locations. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a novel disk-based multi-level sort procedure is provided to establish locality among updates (write data) held in the disk-based log, thereby enabling the write data to be efficiently written to home locations on the disk array.

摘要： The present invention provides a system, method, and computer program product for reducing load imbalance in a storage system having a plurality of storage devices organized in one or more RAIDs for storing data by moving data from heavily-loaded storage devices to less-loaded storage devices during normal data access operations. As a result of moving data to less-loaded storage devices, the service latency of those storage devices decreases, thereby optimizing the system's performance.

摘要： A technique places content, such as data, of one or more data containers on volumes of a striped volume set (SVS). The placement of data across the volumes of the SVS allows specification of a deterministic pattern of fixed length. That is, the pattern determines a placement of data of a data container that is striped among the volumes of the SVS. The placement pattern is such that the stripes are distributed exactly or nearly equally among the volumes and that, within any local span of a small multiple of the number of volumes, the stripes are distributed nearly equally among the volumes. The placement pattern is also substantially similar for a plurality of SVSs having different numbers of volumes.

摘要： An improved system and method enhances performance of updates to sequential block storage of a storage system. A disk-based sort procedure is provided to establish locality among updates (write data) held in a disk-based log, thereby enabling the write data to be efficiently written to home locations on a home location array. As the write data is received, a log manager of the storage system temporarily stores the data efficiently on the disk-based log. As more write data arrives, the log manager sorts the data in the log in accordance with the sort procedure, thus increasing the locality of data when stored on the home location array. When the log approaches capacity, the log manager writes the sorted data to their home locations on the array with high locality and performance.

摘要： A system and a method of scheduling a plurality of threads from a multi-threaded program. A shared arena is provided in user memory, wherein the shared arena includes a register save area for each of the plurality of threads. A processor, when allocated to the application, executes the application's user-level scheduler and selects a user-level thread from a plurality of available threads, wherein the step of selecting includes the step of reading register context associated with the selected thread from one of the plurality of register save areas. In multikernel systems, kernels having access to an application's register save areas can execute preempted threads from that application with no kernel-to-kernel communication. Likewise, kernels having access to an application's user-level run queues can execute ready-to-run threads from that application with no kernel-to-kernel communication.
