Abstract: A system for executing an application on a pool of reconfigurable processors with first and second reconfigurable processors having first and second architectures that are different from each other is presented. The system comprises an archive of configuration files with first and second configuration files for executing the application on the first and second reconfigurable processors, respectively, and a host system that is operatively coupled to the first and second reconfigurable processors. The host system comprises a runtime processor that allocates reconfigurable processors for executing the application and an auto-discovery module that is configured to perform discovery of whether the reconfigurable processors include at least one of the first reconfigurable processors and whether the reconfigurable processors include at least one of the second reconfigurable processors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to communications technologies, and discloses a method for monitoring the state of a fiber line, a repeater, and a submarine cable system. The repeater includes a first optical amplifier (OA), a second optical amplifier, a first gating unit, a second gating unit, a first coupler, a second coupler, a third coupler, and a fourth coupler. The first coupler, the fourth coupler, and the first gating unit form an in-to-in loopback path between the input end of the first OA and the input end of the second OA; and the second coupler, the third coupler, and the second gating unit form an out-to-out loopback path between the output end of the first OA and the output end of the second OA.
