A method for tuning performance of an operating system, the method comprising identifying all sources of operating system jitter; measuring the impact of each of the operating system jitter source; and tuning performance of the operating system, preferably by use of different approaches/techniques, which could include removing the sources of operating system jitter and/or delaying their execution and/or smoothening their execution over a longer period of time. Computer program code and systems are also provided.

Systems and methods for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) at the transmitter can reduce the dynamic range required in various analog components. PAR can be reduced by applying a time-domain compensation signal in the oversampled regime, using tones reserved for PAR reduction. A set of vectors corresponding to PAR tones is generated by processing out-of-phase symbols for each PAR tone to form a span matrix. The span matrix is used to find a best fit of a desired target signal to a time-domain compensation signal comprising only PAR tones.

Impulse noise from nearby or intense electrical sources can disrupt communications over digital subscriber lines (DSL). The characterization of the nature, timing and length of impulse noise sources present on a DSL loop is a critical first step in mitigating the effect of impulse noise on DSL communications. DSL standards provide histograms for impulse length and inter-arrival time of impulses. These histograms can be used to derive the nature, maximum frequency and other statistics related to impulse noise on a DSL line.

A system and method for reducing power consumption in a Low Density Parity-Check Code (LDPC) decoder includes a sleep mode checking module and a gating circuit. The sleep mode checking module checks whether a check node is in sleep mode. The check node is considered to be in sleep mode when the absolute value of the message going to each of the one or more bit nodes corresponding to the check node is greater than a threshold value. The gating circuit turns OFF a Check Node and Bit Node Update Unit (CNBNU) associated with the check node when the check node is in the sleep mode. Turning OFF a CNBNU stops the exchange of messages between the check node and its corresponding one or more bit nodes.

A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) has an inter symbol interference (ISI) loop and inter chip interference (ICI) loop. A buffer at the input of the DFE loop receives a (CCK based data rate) signal coming into the DFE, retains a predetermined number of chips from each incoming symbol and assists to meet timing requirements by chip management. An outgoing rate for the chips from the buffer may depend on the incoming rate and may be higher than the incoming rate by a known factor. A method of designing a configuration for the DFE takes into consideration the timing delay in the loops. The operation within the DFE loop is pipelined, and any latency due to the pipelining is handled at a CCK demodulator. A method for designing the DFE architecture and an article comprising a storage medium with instructions thereon for executing the method, are also disclosed.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are disclosed for incrementally checkpointing the state of a computer memory in the presence of at least one executing software application at periodic instants. A secure hash function is periodically applied to each partitioned contiguous block of memory to give a periodic block hash value. At each periodic instant, a block hash value for each block is compared with a respective preceding block hash value to determine if said memory block has changed according to whether said block hash values are different. Only changed memory blocks are stored in a checkpoint record. The memory block sizes are adapted at each periodic instant to split changed blocks into at least two parts and to merge only two non-changed contiguous blocks at a time.

The use of software-based agents to act on behalf of human bidders for dynamic participation in multiple simultaneous online auctions is disclosed. The software-based agents may reside on computer systems or on any type of stationary or mobile terminal. On the basis of bidding-related information from a bidder, a software agent selects a plurality of auctions to place bids in. Upon being outbid, the agent determines whether to place an additional bid in a further auction. The agent can make such a determination on the basis of maximising profitability or surplus.

A spatio-temporal image of an object is reconstructed based on captured data characterizing the object. The spatio-temporal image comprises a plurality of spatial images in respective time intervals, and at least a given one of the spatial images in one of the time intervals is reconstructed using not only captured data from a frame associated with that time interval but also captured data associated with one or more additional frames associated with other time intervals. The spatio-temporal image may be reconstructed by iteratively obtaining a solution to a minimization or maximization problem in a sparse domain and transforming the solution to an image domain. The transformation between the sparse domain and the image domain may utilize a spatio-temporal transformation implemented using a plurality of basis functions, one or more of which may be determined at least in part based on secondary information associated with the imaged object.

Systems and methods for modeling functional magnetic resonance image datasets using a multivariate auto-regressive model which captures temporal dynamics in the data, and creates a reduced representation of the dataset representative of functional connectivity of voxels with respect to brain activity. Raw spatio-temporal data is processed using a multivariate auto-regressive model, wherein coefficients in the model with high weights are retained as indices that best describe the full spatio-temporal data. When there are a relatively small number of temporal samples of the data, sparse regression techniques are used to build the model. The model coefficients are used to perform data processing functions such as indexing, prediction, and classification.
