20140281228 | System and Method for an Accelerator Cache Based on Memory Availability and Usage - The storage processor of a data storage system such as a storage array automatically configures one or more accelerator caches (“AC”) upon detecting the presence of one or more solid-state storage devices (e.g., SSD drives) installed in the data storage system, such as when a storage device is plugged into a designated slot of the data storage system, without requiring any user configuration of the AC or specification by the user of the type(s) of data to be cached in the AC. The AC therefore provides a zero configuration cache that can be used to cache any of various types of data in the data storage system. The AC cache can be used in any of a wide variety of data storage systems including, without limitation, file servers, storage arrays, computers, etc. Multiple ACs may be created to cache different types of data. | 09-18-2014 |

20130198456 | Fast Cache Reheat - Embodiments of the present invention allow for fast cache reheat by periodically storing a snapshot of information identifying the contents of the cache at the time of the snapshot, and then using the information from the last snapshot to restore the contents of the cache following an event that causes loss or corruption of cache contents such as a loss of power or system reset. Since there can be a time gap between the taking of a snapshot and such an event, the actual contents of the cache, and hence the corresponding data stored in a data store, may have changed since the last snapshot was taken. Thus, the information stored at the last snapshot is used to retrieve current data from the data store for use in restoring the contents of the cache. | 08-01-2013 |

20130337909 | METHOD AND MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTING A GAMIFICATION APPLICATION - Disclosed is an improved approach to implement gamification of applications and activities. The approach can be used to create gamification for any application/activity. In some approaches, gamification is provided such that an application is not modified to include the game features. Instead, an external stand-alone gamification mechanism is provided to include the game features, where the external gamification mechanism is used in conjunction with the activity/application. | 12-19-2013 |
