A re-programmable non-volatile memory system, such as a flash EEPROM system, having its memory cells grouped into blocks of cells that are simultaneously erasable is operated to perform memory system housekeeping operations in the foreground during execution of a host command, wherein the housekeeping operations are unrelated to execution of the host command. Both one or more such housekeeping operations and execution of the host command are performed within a time budget established for executing that particular command. One such command is to write data being received to the memory. One such housekeeping operation is to level out the wear of the individual blocks that accumulates through repetitive erasing and re-programming.

Soft metrics for multiple bursts transmitted at different times for a data packet are scaled, quantized, and rescaled prior to decoding. As each burst is received, input soft metrics for the burst are scaled with a scaling factor S(i), quantized based on a quantization scale factor Q(i), and stored in a buffer. The scaling factor and quantization scale factor are computed based on the statistics for the burst. After all bursts for the data packet have been received, the quantized soft metrics for each burst are rescaled based on the quantization scale factor Q(i) for that burst and a common scale factor to properly weight the soft metrics in the decoding process. The common scale factor is determined based on the quantization scale factors Q(i) for all bursts. The rescaled soft metrics for all bursts are requantized, deinterleaved, and decoded to obtain decoded data for the packet.

A robust integer carrier frequency offset estimation method for OFDM systems is disclosed. Compared with conventional methods which use either two consecutive OFDM symbols or only one training symbol, the method is insensitive to the timing offset as long as the channel spread is shorter than the OFDM cyclic prefix length.

The method improves the accuracy of integer carrier frequency offset, especially in channels with long and strong echoes. It offers the receiver more freedom in setting the FFT window since it is insensitive to the timing offset.

Server resources in a data center are disaggregated into shared server resource pools. Servers are constructed dynamically, on-demand and based on workload requirements and a tenant's resiliency requirements (e.g., as specified in an SLA), by allocating from these resource pools.

As a workload is processed by the server entity and component resources fail, the server entity composition is changed, e.g. by allocating other resources to the server entity, or by transitioning to other server entities, to ensure that a resiliency requirement is maintained.
