Abstract: A system includes a bus interface and circuitry. The bus interface is configured to communicate with an external device over a peripheral bus. The circuitry is configured to support a plurality of widgets that perform primitive operations used in implementing peripheral-bus devices, to receive a user-defined configuration, which specifies a user-defined peripheral-bus device as a configuration of one or more of the widgets, and to implement the user-defined peripheral-bus device toward the external device over the peripheral bus, in accordance with the user-defined configuration.

Abstract: System, methods, and devices for providing an address resolution service are provided. In one example, an Address Resolution Service (ARS) node is described as being in communication with one or more endpoints. The ARS node may include one or more circuits that respond to an ARS query message issued by the one or more endpoints with a response message that translates a layer three address to a layer two address.

Abstract: Systems and methods enable session sharing for session-based remote direct memory access (RDMA). Multiple queue pairs (QPs) can be added to a single session and/or session group where each of the QPs has a common remote. Systems and methods may query a session ID for an existing session group and then use the session ID with an add QP request to join additional QPs to an existing session. Newly added QPs may share one or more features with existing QPs of the session group, such as encryption parameters. Additionally, newly added QPs may be configured with different performance or quality of service requirements, thereby isolating performance, and permitting true scaling for high performance computing applications.

Abstract: API in conjunction with a bridge chip and first and second hosts having first and second memories respectively. The bridge chip connects the memories. The API comprises key identifier registration functionality to register a key identifier for each of plural computer processes performed by the first host, thereby to define plural key identifiers; and/or access control functionality to provide at least computer process P1 performed by the first host with access, typically via the bridge chip, to at least local memory buffer M2 residing in the second memory, typically after the access control functionality first validates that process P1 has a key identifier which has been registered, e.g., via the key identifier registration functionality. Typically, the access control functionality also prevents at least computer process P2, performed by the first host, which has not registered a key identifier, from accessing local memory buffer M2, e.g., via the bridge chip.

Abstract: A method for processing includes receiving a definition of a processing pipeline including multiple sequential processing stages. The processing pipeline is partitioned into a plurality of partitions. The first partition of the processing pipeline is executed on a first computational accelerator, whereby the first computational accelerator writes output data from a final stage of the first partition to an output buffer in a first memory. The output data are copied over a packet communication network to an input buffer in a second memory. The second partition of the processing pipeline is executed on a second computational accelerator using the copied output data in the second memory as input data to a first stage of the second partition.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a robotic grasping hand having a central palm; a plurality of fingers connected to said palm, each of said fingers including a fingertip movable along a length of said fingers; wherein the fingers are placed on a common imaginary plane and are angularly displaceable thereon. The present disclosure relates to a corresponding system and method for activating the grasping hand.

Abstract: Methods and systems provided herein involve extracting an input/output (I/O) operation from a packet received over an I/O pipeline, the I/O operation comprising either a read request to read data from at least one storage device or a write request to write data to the at least one storage device; determining that an address associated with the I/O operation exists in a lookup table that is provided for thin provisioning of the at least one storage device; performing one or more RAID calculations associated with the at least one storage device based on the address and the I/O operation; and accessing the at least one storage device to perform the I/O operation based on the one or more RAID calculations; and second processing component configured to carry out a second set of operations that occur when the address associated with the I/O operation does not exist in the lookup table.

Abstract: A foldable footwear comprising a sole fabricated using a single manufacturing casting, the sole comprising at least two portions, a front portion and a back portion and a groove in the ground side of the sole extending laterally from one side of the sole to the other side of the sole. The footwear can be folded in one direction only where the ground side of the sole is folded into itself.
