Abstract: A connecting interface unit and a memory storage device without a crystal oscillator are provided and include a frequency detector, a phase detector, an oscillator, a sampling circuit and a transmitter circuit. The frequency detector and the phase detector respectively detect frequency difference and phase difference between an input signal from a host system and a reference signal to generate a frequency signal and a phase signal. The frequency signal and the phase signal that have passed through a filter are transmitted to the oscillator to generate the reference signal for generating a clock signal. The sampling circuit generates an input data signal according to the reference signal. The transmitter circuit modulates an output data signal according to the clock signal to generate and transmit an output signal to the host system. Accordingly, the connecting interface unit conforms to the specification of a transmission stand.
Abstract: Examples are disclosed for remotely initializing or booting a client or host device. In some examples, a network (NW) input/output (I/O) device coupled to a host device connects to a remote server via a NW communication link. For these examples, modules of the network I/O device establishes a control path to a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) controller maintained at the remote server using a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol. Properties of a storage device controlled by the NVMe controller have an RDMA service tag (STag) to indicate accessible allocated portions of the storage device. A system basic I/O system (BIOS) is capable of using the RDMA STag to access the storage device and load an operating system (OS) kernel. Also, one or more device drivers can remotely boot the host device using the RDMA STag.

Abstract: An asynchronous pipeline structure includes a plurality of functional blocks comprising dynamic logic, each block precharged to an idle state responsive to a precharge control signal applied thereto, with each block, upon being precharged, receiving input data thereto for processing, and holding output data generated thereby during an evaluate phase, independent of a reset of the input data; for each block, a completion detector circuit coupled to the output of the functional block, the completion detector circuit generating an acknowledgement signal that indicates validity or absence of data at the output of the block; and for each block, a precharge control circuit generating a precharge signal, wherein for a given block, a first input to the precharge control circuit comprises the acknowledgment signal from a downstream completion detector, and second input to the precharge control circuit comprises the precharge signal from an upstream precharge control circuit.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes multiple domains including a core domain having at least one core to execute instructions and a graphics domain including at least one graphics engine to perform graphics operations and a power controller to control power consumption of the processor. The power controller may include a logic to receive an indication of a priority domain of the domains and to dynamically allocate power to the domains based on a power limit, one or more maximum domain frequency requests, and the priority domain indication. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
