Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for network-extended storage. A portable storage device is coupled to a host computer, and network extension code stored on the portable storage device is invoked. The network extension code is operable to detect a file system write function call generated by an application executing on the host computer, the file system write function call operable to cause data to be written to the portable storage device, and cause the data to be written to the portable storage device based upon the file system write function call. The network extension code is further operable to generate a transmit determination indicative of whether to transmit the data to a network repository, and transmit the data to the network repository based upon the transmit determination.

The composition may also contain an effective amount of insecticide capable of killing the mosquito larvae soon after they hatch out of their eggs. measurement switch, a transformer (low voltage/medium voltage), a DC/AC inverter, a capacitor, a voltage dip detection circuit, and a control circuit.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for publishing, subscribing to, or playing live appliances. A live appliance includes a current virtual machine image. In publishing, a proxy file of a live appliance file type is provided to the publisher. The type is mapped to a live appliance player; so that when a proxy file is opened, the current virtual machine image is run. The player automatically binds a writeable file system external to the virtual machine image to the image to provide file storage that is accessible from within the virtual machine image and from a host operating system. The player also creates a subscription to the live appliance on the host computer if one does not exist when the proxy file is run. With the subscription, the player runs the then-current virtual machine image whenever the live appliance is run.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, software arrangements and storage medium for measuring the magnetic field correlation function (“MFC”), and more particularly, to methods for measuring the magnetic field correlation function utilizing asymmetric spin echoes. Asymmetric Dual Spin Echo Sequences (“ADSE”) and Echo Planar Imaging Asymmetric Dual Spin Echo Sequences (“EPI-ADSE”) may be employed to apply multiple echoes to a sample and acquire data from which the MFC may be determined.
Abstract:
A cache-based system management architecture named “the Collective” automates system management and supports mobile computing. The Collective manages systems by manipulating virtual appliances, each encapsulating a system state. A virtual appliance (VA) may comprise a virtual network of VAs. Distributed repositories separately storing the VAs and user data. Publishers create and maintain VAs. A user plugs a bootable portable storage device implementing a VA transceiver (VAT) into a host computer. The VAT, comprising a Manager, a Cache Client, and a virtual machine monitor (VMM), authenticates the user, retrieves a copy of the latest version of a subscribed VA from the appropriate network repository, obtains user data, and automatically backs up the user data over the network in the background while running the subscribed VA. Multiple VAs can be run at the same time. With the novel caching protocol and cache charging process, the Collective performs well and has numerous advantages.
Abstract:
A matrix processing unit is described which permits high speed numerical computation. The processing unit is a vector processing unit which is formed from a plurality of processing elements. The Ith processing unit has a set of N registers within which the Ith elements or words of N vectors of data are stored. Each processing element has an arithmetic unit which is capable of performing arithmetic operations on the N elements in the set of N registers. Each vector of data has K elements. Therefore, there are K processing elements. A vector operation of the matrix processing unit simultaneously performs the same operation on all elements of two vectors or more. A subsequent vector operation can be performed within one machine cycle time after the preceding vector operation.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method performed by a processor having multiple functional units avoids branches in decision support codes by doing arithmetic instructions incorporating condition codes generated by compare instructions. The method comprising the steps of analyzing operations in code to be performed by said processors to identify branch operations, substituting for identified branch operations arithmetic condition codes, decoding and dispatching multiple instructions in one processor cycle, and executing multiple functions in parallel per cycle using each of the functional units of said processor.
