Abstract: A system and method for fencing memory accesses. Memory loads can be fenced, or all memory access can be fenced. The system receives a fencing instruction that separates memory access instructions into older accesses and newer accesses. A buffer within the memory ordering unit is allocated to the instruction. The access instructions newer than the fencing instruction are stalled. The older access instructions are gradually retired. When all older memory accesses are retired, the fencing instruction is dispatched from the buffer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described herein for performing parallel memory migration, as well as execution of management tasks over a plurality of management windows. Handlers are dispatched to multiple resources, such as processing elements or threads, to determine a proper memory migration handler. Each resource, during a management mode, executes a designated memory migration handler or an instance of a memory migration handler to perform a portion of a memory migration task in parallel. A task data structure is capable of supporting tracking of portions of memory migrated. In addition the task data structure is potentially also capable of tracking management tasks through plurality of management windows to support servicing of management tasks through multiple management windows.

Abstract: Provided are a device, system, and method for mapping memory controller connectors to memory connectors. A memory is programmed to transmit for each of a plurality of the memory data connectors, a pattern on the memory data connectors that has a first value for a selected memory data connector of the memory data connectors and a different value from the first value for the memory data connectors other than the selected memory data connector. For each of the memory data connectors, a read command is issued to read the pattern on the memory data connectors. a device data connector receiving the first value in the read pattern is mapped to the selected memory data connector transmitting the first value.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating data throughput improvements in interconnect fabrics employing point-to-point links using dynamically selectable routing. Initiators and targets are operatively coupled to first and second fabrics. The first and second fabrics include multiple point-to-point internal links and are communicatively coupled to one another via multiple fabric-to-fabric links, including first and second links from the first fabric to the second fabric. During operations, traffic on the first fabric-to-fabric link is detected to determine if it is busy, and depending on the determination, data transfers from an initiator coupled to the first fabric destined for a target coupled to the second fabric are selectively routed via either the first or second fabric-to-fabric links.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a new discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter change may be received in user equipment while the user equipment is using an existing DRX parameter. The user equipment continues to use the existing parameter and determines when a new discontinuous reception cycle is starting. The change to the next discontinuous reception parameter is implemented in the new discontinuous reception cycle. In some embodiments by having an agreed upon time to implement the change to the new parameter, signaling between an enhanced node B and user equipment may be reduced. Signaling overhead is a serious impediment to achieving high efficiency in wireless communications.

In one embodiment, the apparatus may include a first device (e.g., a peripheral device), a second device (e.g., a computing device) mountable on the first device in a first or second position, and a waveguide substantially disposed in the first device to communicatively couple the first device with the second device. The waveguide may comprise a movable connector and first and second branches corresponding to the first and second positions. The movable connector may alternately communicatively couple the first device with the second device via the first or second branch and disconnect the second or first branch respectively in response to corresponding placement of the second device in the first or second position. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for estimating a chromaticity of illumination from raw image data. In an embodiment, one or more image chromaticity weight is determined based on a distance between the raw image data in a sensor chromaticity space and a nearest point within a locus of sensor illumination chromaticities. In a further embodiment, one or more image chromaticity weight is determined based on a disparity among normalized color channel values. In certain embodiments, image chromaticity estimates are utilized to determine a white point estimate for the raw image data. In embodiments, an electronic device including a camera estimates the chromaticity value of raw image data captured by the camera as part of an AWB pipeline. The electronic device may further determine, for example as part of the AWB pipeline, a white point estimate based, at least in part, on the raw image data chromaticity value estimate(s).

Abstract: Block-based interleaving to process a block of sub-carriers as a two-dimensional array defined by a frequency dimension and a time dimension. For each symbol of the array a cell is selected at each frequency index of the array in a diagonal wrap-around fashion. The array may be traversed with a modulo-based index computed as a function of an incrementing frequency index, a symbol index, and a modulus defined by a depth of the array. Cells may be selected as indicated by the frequency and time indices, and/or as indicated by a bit-reversed representation of the frequency index and/or the time index. A block interleaver may be configured to time interleave without impacting frequency, or interleave in time and frequency. Frequency interleaving may performed with the bit-reversed representation of the frequency index.

Abstract: Embodiments may provide a way of communicating via an electromagnetic radiator, or light source, that can be amplitude modulated such as light emitting diode (LED) lighting and receivers or detectors that can determine data from light received from the amplitude modulated electromagnetic radiator. Some embodiments may provide a method of transmitting/encoding data via modulated LED lighting and other embodiments may provide receiving/decoding data from the modulated LED lighting by means of a device with a low sampling frequency such as a relatively inexpensive camera (as might be found in a smart phone). Some embodiments are intended for indoor navigation via photogrammetry (i.e., image processing) using self-identifying LED light anchors. In many embodiments, the data signal may be communicated via the light source at amplitude modulating frequencies such that the resulting flicker is not perceivable to the human eye.
