Abstract: Methods and devices for dynamically designated first and second subsets of a plurality of frequency channels as upstream and downstream channels, respectively, for performing wired communications using virtual segmentation between a network controller and an endpoint device. performing virtual segmentation to service an endpoint device. Communications are performed between the network controller and the endpoint device through a wired communication medium using the upstream and downstream channels. The first subset and second subsets of the plurality of channels are designated as upstream channels and downstream channels, respectively, based at least in part on one or both of upstream and downstream channel demand and channel availability.

Abstract: Control information for configuring an audiovisual device to present multimedia content according to a first service type may be generated. A method may include generating first control information for configuring an audiovisual device to decode a multimedia stream, generating first data that indicates a structure of the first control information, and transmitting the first data and the first control information. The first control information may be generated according to a first protocol version. Second data and second control information may be similarly generated and transmitted according to a second protocol version. Disclosed techniques may facilitate receiving devices to determine whether they support received wireless transmissions and decode the transmissions based on the control information.

Abstract: System and method for constructing a hierarchical index table usable for matching a search sequence to reference data. The index table may be constructed to contain entries associated with an exhaustive list of all subsequences of a given length, wherein each entry contains the number and locations of matches of each subsequence in the reference data. The hierarchical index table may be constructed in an iterative manner, wherein entries for each lengthened subsequence are selectively and iteratively constructed based on the number of matches being greater than each of a set of respective thresholds. The hierarchical index table may be used to search for matches between a search sequence and reference data, and to perform misfit identification and characterization upon each respective candidate match.

Abstract: Techniques for specifying and implementing a software application targeted for execution on a multiprocessor array (MPA). The MPA may include a plurality of processing elements, supporting memory, and a high bandwidth interconnection network (IN), communicatively coupling the plurality of processing elements and supporting memory. In some embodiments, software code may specify one or more cell definitions that include: program instructions executable to perform a function and one or more language constructs. The software code may further instantiate first, second, and third cell instances, each of which is an instantiation of one of the one or more cell definitions, where the instantiation includes configuration of the one or more language constructs such that: the first and second cell instances communicate via respective communication ports and the first and second cell instances are included in the third cell instance.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system and method for swapping applications executing on the multiprocessor system are disclosed. The plurality of applications may include a first application and a plurality of other applications. The first application may be dynamically swapped with a second application. The swapping may be performed without stopping the plurality of other applications. The plurality of other applications may continue to execute during the swapping to perform a real-time operation and process real-time data. After the swapping, the plurality of other applications may continue to execute with the second application, and at least a subset of the plurality of other applications may communicate with the second application to perform the real time operation and process the real time data.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to spectrum sharing between different radio access technologies. In some embodiments, a broadcast base station is configured to wirelessly broadcast audio and video data to a plurality of broadcast receiver devices using a particular frequency band. In these embodiments, the broadcast base station is configured to discontinue broadcasting in the particular frequency band during a scheduled time interval, to enable one or more cellular base stations to perform cellular packet-switched wireless data communications using the particular frequency band.
