    摘要: A partitionable multi-processor system includes a first plurality of components of the multi-processor system forming a first partitioned node that is operable as a first independent node, a second plurality of components of the multi-processor system forming a second partitioned node that is operable as a second independent node and a system controller that is configured to selectively and independently control separate power, clock, and/or reset signals to the first plurality of components forming the first partitioned node and the second plurality of components forming the second partitioned node in response to receiving a first partitioning mode instruction from a baseboard management controller (BMC) that identifies a partitioned state and configured to selectively control the separate power, clock, and/or reset signals to the first and second pluralities of components in a unified manner in response to receiving a second partitioning mode instruction from the BMC that identifies a unified state.

    摘要: Embodiments provide a method and computer program product including program instructions executable by a baseboard management controller in a multi-processor system to perform various operations. The operations include detecting a number of memory modules connected to each of a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) in the multi-processor system during boot, initiating operation of the multi-processor system as a single unified node in response to each of the CPUs being connected to an equal number of memory modules, and initiating partitioning of the multi-processor system into a first partitioned node and a second partitioned node in response to a first set of one or more of the CPUs each being connected to a first number of memory modules and a second set of one or more of the CPUs each being connected to a second number of memory modules that is different than the first number of memory modules.

    摘要: A computer program product and a network switch are provided. The network switch may include network ports, memory and a processor for processing program instructions to perform various operations. The computer program product may provide the program instructions for a network switch. The operations may include detecting a first neighbor network switch connection to a first port of the first network switch, accessing first neighbor network switch configuration data that is stored by the first network switch in association with the first port, and providing the configuration data that is stored in association with the first port of the first network switch to the first neighbor network switch over the first neighbor network switch connection to the first port. In one example, the configuration data is obtained from a second neighbor network switch that was previously connected to the first port prior to the first neighbor network switch.

    摘要: A system, method and computer program product provide inventory tracking and management. The operations may include analyzing images captured by a mobile camera secured to a forklift operating within a warehouse to identify that the forklift has performed a first loading event, analyzing images captured by a stationary camera that is located in a receiving area of the warehouse to identify the forklift and identify an inventory item that is loaded on the forklift moving from the receiving area to a storage area of the warehouse, and analyzing images captured by the mobile camera secured to the forklift to identify that the forklift has performed a first unloading event and identify a storage location within the storage area associated with the first unloading event. The operations may further include storing an entry in an inventory database to indicate the identified inventory item is stored in the identified storage location.

    摘要: A computer program product and a networking device, such as a router or firewall, including a processor for executing the computer program product to cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations may include providing network access to a computing device, establishing a default rule to change the network access at a first time-of-day, and establishing a conditional rule that the network access will remain unchanged in response an ongoing network session at the first time-of-day that will reach completion before the second time-of-day. The operations may further include obtaining session progress data for the ongoing session, continue providing the network access until completing the session in response to determining that the ongoing session can reach completion before the second time-of-day, and changing the network access before the session reaches completion in response to determining that the ongoing session will not reach completion before the second time-of-day.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, program products, and systems are disclosed for dynamically determining recipients of electronic messages. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to evaluate one or more characteristics of a received electronic message to determine a context of the electronic message. The code is executable by the processor to determine, based on the determined context of the electronic message, one or more users who are target recipients of the electronic message. The code is executable by the processor to forward the electronic message to the determined one or more target recipients.

    摘要: A computer program product provides a non-volatile computer readable medium and non-transitory program instructions embodied therein, where the program instructions are configured to be executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations may comprise identifying a dataset that is being used by a first workload running on a first host server within a computing system and a second workload running on a second host server within the computing system, wherein each of the host servers within the computing system are connected for communication over a network including a network switch. The operations may further comprise identifying a data storage device that is directly attached to the network switch within the network, migrating the identified dataset to the identified data storage device, and causing the first and second workloads to send dataset access requests to the identified dataset on the identified data storage device.

    摘要: A computer identifies a group of players that are participating in a gaming session that is hosted by the computer. The computer identifies the location of an avatar of a first player included in the group of players. The computer identifies the location of a second avatar of a second player included in the group of players and determining the proximity between the first avatar and the second avatar. The computer determines if the proximity exceeds a threshold. Responsive to the determination that the proximity does not exceed the threshold, the computer sends data for the gaming session to the first player and the first player passes that data to the second player.
