Abstract: Embodiments of an invention for securing transmissions between processor packages are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an encryption unit to encrypt first content to be transmitted from the apparatus to a processor package directly through a point-to-point link.

Abstract: The present application is directed to establishing ownership of a secure workspace (SW). A client device may provide a SW data structure (SWDS) to a SW configurator. A SWDS may comprise a hash of an original SW and a public key, and may be signed by a private key corresponding to the public key. The SW configurator may cause an execution container (EC) to be generated including a SW initiated using the SWDS. The client device may claim SW ownership using a request (signed by the private key) transmitted along with a copy of the public key. SW ownership may be determined by an ownership determination module that verifies the signature of the request using the public key received with the request, determines a hash of the received public key and compares the hash of the received public key to a hash of the public key in the SWDS.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. Proxy nodes in the cluster are configured with agents. The agents are configured to perform backup operations and restore operations for virtual machines operating in the cluster. During a backup operation or during a restore operation, a load associated with the backup/restore operation is distributed across at least some of the proxy nodes. The proxy nodes can backup/restore virtual machines on any of the nodes in the cluster.

Abstract: A physical layer (PHY) is coupled to a serial, differential link that is to include a number of lanes. The PHY includes a transmitter and a receiver to be coupled to each lane of the number of lanes. The transmitter coupled to each lane is configured to embed a clock with data to be transmitted over the lane, and the PHY periodically issues a blocking link state (BLS) request to cause an agent to enter a BLS to hold off link layer flit transmission for a duration. The PHY utilizes the serial, differential link during the duration for a PHY associated task selected from a group including an in-band reset, an entry into low power state, and an entry into partial width state.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to systems and methods of providing access to logs and/or history information for jobs that were processed or run on a cluster that was automatically terminated. In some embodiments, systems may include a persistence component, configured to save job history, configuration, and/or log files related to a cluster even after the cluster is terminated; a terminated job history server, configured to serve requests for logs and histories associated with jobs that ran on terminated clusters; and a cluster proxy, providing a proxy layer to redirect requests regarding terminated cluster job history, configuration, and/or log files to the terminated job history server. Methods may include directing by a cluster proxy a user request to a terminated job history server and providing, by the terminated job history server through access to a storage facility, access to logs and/or history information requested by the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a data indexing and search service that resides locally on a computing device (e.g., a mobile phone) and that can host data for multiple applications on the device. By centralizing the storage of data as well as the search and query functions, unified search queries can be performed by the service.

Abstract: Methods and systems for adapting existing service provider servers to support two-factor authentication by leveraging an authentication server, which may be operated by a third party. Where a user desires to access content or services offered by a service provider server, the user may employ a client agent (for example, a web browser) in order to authenticate with the service provider server. Service provider server can redirect client agent to an authentication server to process at least a second factor or derived credential.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing mobile commerce transactions using mobile devices. A transaction initiation request is received at a transaction server from a merchant device. The transaction server generates a transaction identifier, which is transmitted to the merchant device. The merchant device communicates the transaction identifier to a customer device. The customer device transmits the transaction identifier to the transaction server and authorizes the transaction with the transaction server.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a query that is unstructured for a plurality databases; determining a service requirement fulfilled by the databases from the terms of the query; determining, for each of the databases, a service requirement score for the database; selecting one of the databases based on the service requirement scores; determining, from the query, parameter values for the service requirement; providing the parameter values for a search operation for the selected database and receiving database search results responsive to the parameter values and the search operation; determining, from the database search results, a search constraint for the search query; revising the search query to include the constraint and providing the revised search query to a search engine; and providing search results identifying resources that the search engine determined to be responsive to the revised query.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a query that that is unstructured for a plurality databases; receiving data identifying resources that are determined to be responsive to the query, each resource associated with a search score that defines a respective position of the resource in an order of responsiveness to the query; determining, a service requirement from the terms of the query; determining, for each of the databases, a service requirement score for the database; for each resource that is associated with one of the databases, adjusting the search score based on the service requirement score for the database; generating search results, each search result identify a corresponding resource that was determined to be responsive to the query, and the search results being ordered according to the respective search scores and adjusted search scores of the resources.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer implemented system for transferring data over a master driven TDD/TDMA based wireless network operating with minimum delay in end-to-end transmission by achieving optimum time slot utilization by minimizing the number of baseband packets created for each Link layer packet, where each baseband packet of is a size corresponding to one of a permitted set of capacities ‘C1, C2, . . . Cn’. The system also optimizes sharing of bandwidth, higher link utilization and low baseband packet transmission queue occupancy by adaptive scheduling of the transmission of the baseband packets in the queues. The invention also provides a method and computer program product for the above system.
