Abstract: A mechanism is provided for virtually rendering a portion of a three-dimensional (3D) object to a user via a tactile display. The mechanism receives a selection of the 3D object to be virtually rendered to a user. The mechanism identifies a subset of cells of a plurality of cells that form the tactile display required to virtually render a portion of the 3D object that will be virtually contacted by the tactile display. The mechanism selectively controls a fluid flow to the subset of cells that form the tactile display to render a sensation associated with the portion of the 3D object on skin of the user wearing the tactile display, wherein the fluid flow to each cell the subset of cells is provided via one or more electrostatic accelerator pumps.

Abstract: A method and technique for data flow affinity for heterogeneous virtual machines includes disabling large receive offload (LRO) processing of data by a physical adapter. First and second logical partitions are connected to a shared virtual adapter where the first logical partition has a maximum receive unit (MRU) different than a MRU of the second logical partition. Responsive to receiving data by the shared virtual adapter destined for the first or second logical partitions, transmission control protocol (TCP) segmentation offload processing of the data is performed by the shared virtual adapter utilizing the MRU of the first logical partition as the transmission unit for data destined for the first logical partition and utilizing the MRU of the second logical partition as the transmission unit for data destined for the second logical partition.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided, in a data processing system, for generating a snapshot of a remote direct memory access (RDMA) resource. The mechanisms receive, from an Input/Output (IO) adapter associated with the data processing system, an error event notification and store, in response to the error event notification, a snapshot of a RDMA resource associated with the error event notification. The mechanisms tear down the RDMA resource in response to the error even notification and free memory associated with the RDMA resource in response to tearing down the RDMA resource. The snapshot stores contents of the RDMA resource.

Abstract: A computer creates an extended compiled code from original source code and generated debugging extension source code. The computer receives an original source code, compiles the original source code into an original compiled code including debugging information, and generates a debugging extension source code based on the debugging information included in the original compiled code. The computer inserts the debugging extension source code into the original source code to produce an extended source code, and compiles the extended source code into an extended compiled code. The debugging information includes one or more of a debugging symbol, symbolic data, a strings table, a strings list, or a cross reference between the original source code and the original compiled code. The debugging extension source code can be inserted into the original source code in a plurality of locations.
