  • Patent number: 11954528
    Abstract: Technologies for dynamically sharing remote resources include a computing node that sends a resource request for remote resources to a remote computing node in response to a determination that additional resources are required by the computing node. The computing node configures a mapping of a local address space of the computing node to the remote resources of the remote computing node in response to sending the resource request. In response to generating an access to the local address, the computing node identifies the remote computing node based on the local address with the mapping of the local address space to the remote resources of the remote computing node and performs a resource access operation with the remote computing node over a network fabric. The remote computing node may be identified with system address decoders of a caching agent and a host fabric interface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11957066
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe quantum circuit assemblies that include one or more filter modules integrated in a package with a quantum circuit component having at least one qubit device. Integration may be such that both the quantum circuit component and the filter module(s) are at least partially inside a chamber formed by a radiation shield structure that is configured to attenuate electromagnetic radiation incident on the quantum circuit component and the filter module(s). Placing filter modules under the protection provided by the radiation shield structure may boost coherence of the qubits. Some example filter modules may include filter(s) configured to convert electromagnetic radiation to heat and filter(s) configured to perform bandpass filtering. Modular blocks of in-line filters inside the shielded environment may allow to route signals to the quantum circuit component with reduced noise and speed up installation of a complete quantum computer.

  • Publication number: 20240111615
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to the use of sidecars to perform dynamic API contract generation and conversion. In an example, a first sidecar of a source microservice intercepts a first call to a first API exposed by a destination microservice. The first call makes use of a first API technology specified by a first contract and is originated by the source microservice. An API technology is selected from multiple API technologies. The selected API technology is determined to be different than the first API technology. Based on the first contract, a second contract is dynamically generated that specifies an intermediate API that makes use of the selected API technology. A second sidecar of the destination microservice is caused to generate the intermediate API and connect the intermediate API to the first API.

  • Publication number: 20240112973
    Abstract: Through-glass vias (TGVs) are formed without the use of a planarization step to planarize the TGV fill material after filling holes that extend through a glass layer with the fill material. After the holes are filled with the fill material, the fill material is etched and the glass layer is etched. After etching of the glass is performed, the top and bottom surfaces of the glass layer are recessed relative to the top and bottom surfaces of the fill material in the holes, resulting in formation of fill material stubs. TGV pads are then formed on the fill material stubs. The resulting pads can have protrusions that extend away from a surface of the glass layer. If the TGVs are plated through-holes, a portion of the metal lining the inner wall of a TGV hole can extend past a surface of the glass layer and into a TGV pad.
