    Abstract: An electronic device includes a memory; a plurality of clients; at least one arbiter circuit; and a management circuit. A given client of the plurality of clients communicates a request to the management circuit requesting an allocation of memory access bandwidth for accesses of the memory by the given client. The management circuit then determines, based on the request, a set of memory access bandwidths including a respective memory access bandwidth for each of the given client and other clients of the plurality of clients that are allocated memory access bandwidth. The management circuit next configures the at least one arbiter circuit to use respective memory access bandwidths from the set of memory access bandwidths for the given client and the other clients for subsequent accesses of the memory.

    Abstract: A system and method for efficient data transfer in a computing system are described. A computing system includes multiple nodes that receive tasks to process. A bridge interconnect transfers data between two processing nodes without the aid of a system bus on the motherboard. One of the multiple bridge interconnects of the computing system is an optical bridge interconnect that transmits optical information across the optical bridge interconnect between two nodes. The receiving node uses photonic integrated circuits to translate the optical information into electrical information for processing by electrical integrated circuits. One or more nodes switch between using an optical bridge interconnect and a non-optical bridge interconnect based on one or more factors such as measured power consumption and measured data transmission error rates.

    Abstract: A processing device is provided which comprises memory and a processor, in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to acquire information indicating a sensory perception of a user, determine settings for one or more parameters used to control operation of the device based on the information indicating the sensory perception of the user and control the operation of the device by tuning the one or more parameters according to the determined settings.

    Abstract: A link controller includes a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) physical layer circuit for coupling to a communication link and providing a data path over the communication link, a first data link layer controller which operates according to a PCIe protocol, and a second data link layer controller which operates according to a Gen-Z protocol. A multiplexer-demultiplexer selectively connects both data link layer controllers to the PCIe physical layer circuit. A protocol translation circuit is coupled between the multiplexer-demultiplexer and the second data link layer controller, the protocol translation circuit receiving traffic data from the second data link layer controller in a Gen-Z format, encapsulating the Gen-Z format in a PCIe format, and passing traffic data to the multiplexer-demultiplexer circuit.
