Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface and thermal management circuitry (TMC). The interface is configured to receive multiple measurements of multiple temperatures measured in multiple locations of an electronic system, respectively. The TMC is configured to: (a) convert the multiple measurements into multiple pulse width modulation (PWM) parameters, (b) calculate, based on at least the multiple PWM parameters, one or more PWM signals, and (c) control the multiple temperatures by applying the one or more PWM signals to one or more cooling devices.

Abstract: System, methods, and devices for initializing a system by loading drivers are provided. In one example, a system includes comprising one or more circuits to initiate a system initiation or a boot of the system, during the system initiation or the boot of the system, read data from a non-volatile memory, based on the data from the non-volatile memory, identify a plurality of hardware components, identify one or more drivers based on the plurality of hardware components, and load the one or more drivers during the system initiation or the boot of the system.

Abstract: A system and method for performing longest prefix matching processing, such as that employed for IP destination address lookups, is disclosed. The technique, referred as the Optimized Multi-bit Trie (OMT) approach, maps a routing table having prefix entries and next hop identification (NHID) values into a compact and readily searchable data structure. LPM searches of the OMT data structure can be performed without backtracking and without loops on the trie level. LPM searches of the OMT data structure can be performed without performing condition checks. The OMT data structure is constructed for a routing table so that the LPM searches are performed according to a fixed number of levels. The OMT technique reduces the number of memory accesses required for identifying LPM matches and is fast and memory efficient.
