Apparatus and systems for implementing simulated environments are disclosed. Remote implementation of function calls is also disclosed. A simulated environment apparatus may include a plurality of simulation servers coupled to each other over data transfer links. The simulation servers may be configured to perform computations related to simulating an environment. A plurality of view servers may be coupled to the simulation servers over data transfer links. Each view server is configured to facilitate interaction between a plurality of client devices and the simulation servers. Each user device may control an avatar within the simulated environment. A simulated environment system may include a data center configured to communicate over a network with one or more remotely distributed client devices.
摘要:
Atomic operation may be implemented in a processor system comprising a main memory and a power processor element (PPE) including a power processor unit (PPU) coupled to an external cache. The PPE may atomically load data from a lock-line in the main memory into a first location X in the external cache. A size of the data and the lock line may be larger than a data size for the standard atomic operations that may be performed with the PPE. The data may be reserved in a second location Y in the external cache.
摘要:
Atomic operations may be implemented on a processor system having a main memory and two or more processors including a power processor element (PPE) and a synergistic processor element (SPE) that operate on different sized register lines. A main memory address containing a primitive is divided into a parity byte and two or more portions, wherein the parity byte includes at least one bit. A value of the parity byte determines which of the two or more portions is a valid portion and which of them is an invalid portion. The primitive is of a memory size that is larger than a maximum size for atomic operation with the PPE and less than or equal to a maximum size for atomic operation with the SPE. Read with reservation and conditional write instructions are used by both the PPE and SPE to access or update a value of the atomic.

Forward error correction may be implemented in a network having first, second and third nodes. The second node receives streaming media message packets and one or more check packets from an upstream first node. The second node transmits the message packets and check packets to a downstream third node. The second node uses the check packets to decode missing message packets and transmits the decoded missing packets to the third node before the missing message packets are to be presented by the third node. The third node may receive message packets and a first set of check packets from the second node and a second set of check packets from the first node. The third node may use check packets from both sets to decode missing message packets.
摘要:
Network bandwidth detection and distribution and prioritizing network traffic among two or more distinct channels of communication within a single application in a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network is disclosed. For a particular time quantum, a bandwidth quantum may be distributed amongst two or more communication channels according to priorities associated with those channels.

摘要:
In a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network, available bandwidth for network traffic may be distributed among two or more distinct channels of communication within a single application running on the node. An available bandwidth may be detected for communication between the first node and a second node. A distribution may be determined for the available bandwidth among the two or more communication channels. A sending rate may be adjusted for data sent from the first node to the second node over one or more of the two or more communication channels in response to a detected change in the available bandwidth.
