    摘要: Techniques for adaptive demand/response power management. Power consumption and battery charge level of a platform having a battery with a smart power module are monitored. Information indicating the power consumption and battery charge level for the platform is provided to a remote demand/response management device. The remote demand/response management device and the smart power module receive a command to modify one or more power consumption characteristics of the platform. The one or more power consumption characteristics of the platform are to be changed in response to the command.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for correlating physical and logical attributes of devices include associating logical-tags (L-tags) and physical-tags (P-tags) with target devices. A P-tag includes a P-tag identifier, which can be read by a P-tag reading device, regardless of whether power is applied to the target device. The P-tag identifier and other information can be sent to an asset manager, which can determine a location of the device. An L-tag includes an L-tag identifier and may include other L-tag information describing logical attributes of the device. The L-tag information also can be sent to an asset manager. The asset manager maintains a tracking record for the device, which may include the P-tag identifier, the L-tag identifier, information regarding the asset's logical attributes, and information regarding the asset's physical attributes. By maintaining similar tracking records for a plurality of devices, the asset manager can track and manage the plurality of devices.

    摘要: A server receives a request for a service. The server determines if a virtual machine already exists that offers the service. If so, the server returns an identifier of the virtual machine to the requesting client so that the client may access the service from the virtual machine. Otherwise, the server attempts to create an image of a virtual machine offering the service. If successful in creating the image, the image is installed as a new virtual machine in a host machine, and the server returns an identifier of the newly created virtual machine to the client.

    摘要: Communications between users may be facilitated using a single window and a communications interface associated with that window. Transfers may be made by grabbing objects within the window and moving them to the communications interface. Icons may be associated with particular users and when objects are dragged-and-dropped to those icons, those objects may be automatically transferred to interfaces associated with those users.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and system may optimize context switching between virtual machines (“VMs”). According to an embodiment of the present invention, separate caches may be utilized to store and retrieve state information for each respective VM on a host. When the virtual machine manager (“VMM”) performs a context switch between a first and a second VM, the VMM may instruct the processor to point from one cache (associated with the first VM) to another (associated with the second VM). Since the caches are dedicated to their respective VMs, the state information for each VM may be retained, thus eliminating the overhead of restoring information from memory and/or disk.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and system may utilize virtual machines in a grid computing environment. More specifically, hosts in a grid computing network may be configured to run various virtual machines. Additionally, these hosts may be configured to designate one or more of the virtual machines to processing grid applications. A resource manager may access predefined policies to monitor the grid virtual machine and manage resource allocation within the grid network, in conjunction with a virtual machine manager or a virtual machine monitor (“VMM”).

    摘要: An interactive presentation system receives a plurality of series of digital data segments (e.g., image frames), each series of digital data segments appearing at the video presentation system on a repetitive, cyclic basis. Each digital data segment includes a first data portion from which an image can be constructed and a second data portion which includes information relating to the image and further includes, if required, information which links an active area of the image to another data source. The system includes an interface for receiving the repetitively transmitted series of digital data segments and a switch for selecting at least one of the received series of digital data segments. A display presents an image that is constructed from the first data portion of a data segment that is included in a series of digital data segments. A processor is responsive to a user's selection of an active area on a displayed image to employ information from the second data portion that is associated with the displayed image to operate the switch to access another data source. The other data source can be another data segment, a video presentation, or an audio presentation. The video presentation system is operable without requiring a reverse channel for communications with the transmission head end.

    摘要: A video presentation system receives a plurality of series of digital data segments (e.g., image frames) that are cyclically transmitted, wherein certain of the digital data segments manifest a higher priority and are present in the form of plural, time-spaced copies during a series of the digital data segments. The system includes an interface for receiving the repetitively transmitted series of digital data segments and a switch for selecting at least one of the received series of digital data segments. A display presents an image that is constructed from a digital data segment that is selected by a user. By providing plural copies of higher priority digital data segments in each series, a reduction in image access time results when the user selects one of the higher priority digital data segments. A set-top box which serves as the receiver can also be provided with sufficient memory to buffer a certain number of the higher priority digital data segments.
