Patent number: 11962518Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow associated with a workload. Based on an indicator for the flow, the method determines whether the flow corresponds to one of an elephant flow or a mice flow. Only when the flow is determined to correspond to an elephant flow, the method enables a hardware acceleration operation on the packet. The hardware acceleration operation may include hardware operation offload, receive side scaling, and workload migration.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: VMware LLCInventors: Aditi Ghag, Srividya Murali

Patent number: 11949426Abstract: Aspects relate to analog-to-digital conversion of an analog signal. The resolution (number of bits) and/or the quantization levels of the analog-to-digital conversion may be configurable. A device may configure its analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may reduce the number of bits for its analog-to-digital converter to reduce power consumption. In this case, the first device may transmit an indication of selected analog-to-digital conversion parameters to a second device that will transmit to the first device. In this way, the second device may take appropriate action, if needed. A device may request another device to use certain analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may determine that a second device should use a larger number of bits for its analog-to-digital conversion process to improve the quality of the communication between the first and second devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Idan Michael Horn, Shay Landis, Assaf Touboul, Amit Bar-Or Tillinger
