Abstract:
In example implementations, a method for starting a companion application on a mobile endpoint device and an apparatus for performing the same is provided. The method is performed by a processor of the mobile endpoint device. The method includes detecting that a distance between the mobile endpoint device and a main computer is less than a target distance. The distance is based on a signal strength of a wireless communication signal between the mobile endpoint device and the main computer. An application that is being executed on the main computer is detected. A companion application is started on the mobile endpoint device that is associated with the application.
Abstract:
In one example, a computer having a processor and a byte-addressable non-volatile read-write main memory. The memory is partitioned into plural regions, each region having at least one defined operational property. At least one of the regions is a metadata region to store plural data sets. Each data set specifies a location in memory, and the at least one operational property, of a corresponding one of the regions.
