Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for identifying and responding to one or more power loss events on a computing node. For example, systems disclosed herein may relate to management of a power loss event on a computing node hosting one or more compute platforms thereon. The systems disclosed herein may implement a power handling configuration that identified a subset of data from a volatile portion of a storage system to prioritize for storage on a non-volatile portion of the storage system. By selectively identifying and flushing data associated with compute platforms hosted by a computing node, systems described herein may significantly reduce demand for capacitance on cloud computing systems while optimizing other performance parameters (e.g., write performance, hardware durability) of devices on cloud computing systems.
