Abstract: A method of routing communication among nodes and systems of an interplanetary network on an ad-hoc basis is described herein. For example, the communication routing described herein may not be pre-determined or static, but rather determined dynamically on a periodic basis, as transmission conditions change, as nodes are added or removed from the interplanetary network, periodically, and/or the like. The interplanetary network may include one or more nodes that have static and/or dynamic states. A node can include any extraterrestrial object or communication relay. The interplanetary network may also include one or more ground stations, which can include communication equipment (e.g., antennas, radar, transmission towers, etc.) located on Earth. To enable the ad-hoc communication routing, a ground station system and/or another processing device can continuously or periodically obtain orbital parameters from one or more nodes in the interplanetary network and generate updated contact plans.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to improve integrated circuit (IC) performance across a range of operating conditions and/or physical constraints are described. In one embodiment, an operating parameter of one or more of processor cores may be adjusted in response to a change in the activity level of processor cores (e.g., the number of active processor cores) and/or a comparison of one or more operating conditions and one or more corresponding threshold values. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method and apparatus for disabling and swapping cores in a multi-core microprocessor are presented. In this regard, a test agent is introduced to disable a core, to configure a mode, and to configure a site. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
