摘要:
Provided is a method and system for managing data processing rates at a network adapter using a temperature sensor. A temperature of a component in the adapter transmitting data over a network is measured. A rate at which data is processed in the adapter over the network is reduced in response to determining that the measured temperature exceeds a threshold.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture, wherein in certain embodiments, an indicator is searched for in a computational platform, and wherein the indicator indicates an operational state of a device coupled to the computational platform. A determination is made that the indicator has been modified to disable the device. The indicator is modified to allow enablement of the disabled device. The device is tested to determine whether the device is capable of operating correctly.

Provided are a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture, wherein in certain embodiments a network adapter having an offload protocol stack receives a query. The offload protocol stack of the network adapter is configured to provide a programmable identity for the offload protocol stack of the network adapter. A response is generated to the query by processing the query in the configured offload protocol stack, wherein the response is based on the programmable identity. The generated response is sent by the network adapter.

In one embodiment, a method is provided that may include one or more operations. The one or more operations may comprise determining whether to supply to circuitry one or more actuating signals. The determining may be based, at least in part, upon one or more parameters issued from an authority that is remote from the circuitry. The one or more parameters may indicate, at least in part, one or more conditions under which the circuitry is to be powered up or deactivated. Many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.

A directed audio system, a network interface communicatively coupled with a network, and a controller to receive, via the network interface, an estimate for a location from a locating device communicatively coupled with the network, and to cause the directed audio system to direct an audio signal based at least in part on an estimate for the location received from the locating device.
摘要:
A system and method for initialization of a computer system is described. Faster initialization of a computer system is possible by allowing certain device driver initialization tasks to overlap with other initialization and operating system tasks. option-ROMs resident on hardware device drivers define the initialization tasks to be performed prior to device driver initialization. Initial computer code for booting the computing device, such as a BIOS, is executed. As option-ROMs for hardware devices are scanned and executed, specific device initialization information is accessed from the devices and placed in pre-defined buffer areas. These accesses occur in parallel to other start up tasks. When device drivers are loaded, some of their initialization has already completed, thereby shortening the time necessary to boot the system.
摘要:
Techniques are described that can be used to identify a defective communication channel in a communications network. A decoder in a receiver may decode a signal received from a network. The decoded signal may be re-encoded and compared with the signal received from the network. A count of differences between the re-encoded signal and the signal received from a network may be provided. An indication of errors remaining after the decoding may also be provided. Based on the count and the indication, a defect in the communication channel may be identified. A user may be notified and/or actions may take place.
摘要:
A method and system for providing controlled on-demand distribution of content via a centralized server and a peer-to-peer network have been described. The method may include receiving, at a server, a request from a client for content where the requesting client and the server are part of a peer-to-peer network. The server may then determine whether the requesting client has access rights to the content. If the requesting client has access rights to the content, then the server may determine one or more other clients on the peer-to-peer network that have the content available for download. The server may then select one or more clients from the one or more other clients and allow the requesting client to download the content from the selected one or more clients. Other embodiments have also been described and claimed.
