摘要:
Provided are techniques for writing doorbell information. In accordance with certain techniques, one or more protection domains are created. One or more data structures are created, wherein each of the data structures is associated with at least one protection domain. One of the data structures is updated. A doorbell structure address for a doorbell structure associated with the updated data structure is computed. Doorbell information is written at the computed doorbell structure address. In accordance with certain other techniques, doorbell information is received. A doorbell structure address is decoded from the doorbell information. A first protection domain identifier is determined from the doorbell structure address. A resource context of a data structure is determined from the doorbell information. The resource context at the doorbell address is read to determine a second protection domain identifier. The first protection domain identifier and the second protection domain identifier are compared to determine whether to update the resource context of the doorbell structure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for grouping digital media items based on shared features. Multiple digital images are received. Metadata about the digital images is obtained either by analyzing the digital images or by receiving metadata from a source separate from the digital images or both. The obtained metadata is analyzed by data processing apparatus to identify a common feature among two or more of the digital images. A grouping of the two or more images is formed by the data processing apparatus based on the identified common feature.

Various embodiments are disclosed relating to remote network device provisioning. A method is disclosed, the method comprising discovering a network address associated with a device on a network based on a discovery response received in response to a discovery request provided to the device. One or more configurable boot options associated with the device may be determined based at least in part on the discovery response. One or more of the configurable boot options may be configured on the device, wherein, upon reboot of the device using the configured boot options, a software image is provided to the device.

The proposed disclosure relates to a computer aided method for the implementation of process unification across regionally distributed process environments. The method includes the establishment of a process framework. It further includes the creation of a present state model for each regionally distributed process environment and the creation of a unified future state model. The normalization of the future state model across the regionally distributed process environments is also called for. Some aspects of the method may include the use of computer based tools in the establishment of the process framework, the establishment of the present state model and the establishment of the future state model.
摘要:
A network interface controller (NIC) in a computer device may provide host-independent secondary processing servicing. The secondary processing servicing may be provided by the NIC independent of networking operations performed by NIC, and may comprise performing applications and/or services typically performed in the computer device. The secondary processing servicing may be provided, and/or be activated when an operating system (OS), a virtual machine (VM), a service, and/or an application running in the computer device becomes unavailable, due to transitions to non-active and/or low-power or power saving states. In instances where the computer device is configured as a virtualized platform, comprising a plurality of VMs, the secondary processing servicing may be provided separately and/or independently to each of the plurality of VMs running in the computer device during the virtualization. The secondary processing servicing may be provided using a dedicated component in the NIC, which may be fixed or removable.
摘要:
A network device may provide power-aware network proxy services to one or more resources internal to the network device and/or one or more other network devices that may transition to corresponding power saving states. The power saving states may comprise disabling, shutting down, and/or reducing power consumption. The power-aware network proxy service may comprise handling at least some of network communication on behalf of serviced internal resources and/or other network devices, and monitoring for conditions to transition the serviced internal resources and/or other network devices from the corresponding power saving states. The power-aware network proxy services may be provided via a network interface controller (NIC) in the network device. Determining when to transition serviced resources and/or other network devices from corresponding power saving states may be based on monitoring and/or processing of traffic handled on behalf of the serviced resources and/or other network devices during power-aware network proxy servicing.
摘要:
A management controller in a network device may provide host-independent diagnostics servicing corresponding to a plurality of managed resources in the network devices. The management controller may be integrated into a network controller in the network device. The diagnostics servicing may be based on one or more management protocols, such as the Web Service Management (WS-Management) protocol. The management controller may log diagnostic data and/or alerts corresponding to the managed resources. The management controller may communicate with the managed resource to request and/or receive the diagnostic data and/or alerts, using Platform Level Data Model (PLDM) based interactions for example. The management controller may incorporate diagnostics based management interface for use during diagnostics management servicing, to exchange diagnostics related management messaging with management devices and/or entities. The diagnostics based management interface may be implemented using Common Information Model (CIM) objects.
摘要:
Certain aspects of a method and system for securing an operating system are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include receiving quarantine information of an operating system prior to booting the operating system. A quarantine mechanism may be enforced based on the received quarantine information prior to booting the operating system. At the time of boot up, the pre-OS quarantine agent may provide quarantine information to the quarantine server. The quarantine server may provide quarantine related information such as OS image to boot and network resources that may be accessed by the pre-OS quarantine agent. The pre-OS quarantine agent may perform the loading of the OS image based on the health and response from the quarantine server.
