  • Publication number: 20150177821
    Abstract: A processor core includes multiple execution units, such as a first execution unit and a second execution unit. The first execution unit may include a first functional component that supports a superscalar pipeline. The second execution unit may include a second functional component supporting a scalar pipeline. The processor core may operate in a high-performance mode by using the first execution unit and powering down the second execution unit and operate in a low-power mode by using the second execution unit and powering down the first execution unit. The processor core may include common elements shared between the multiple execution units, such as a common instruction cache, data cache, register file(s), and more.

  • Publication number: 20150153888
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to receive sensed data based on an input from a user via a display; generate parallel streams of input data based on the sensed data, wherein one or more of the parallel streams of input data comprise one or more input characteristics, wherein the one or more input characteristics comprise one or more of prediction data or smoothing data; and output the parallel streams of input data, wherein the parallel streams of input data are made available to an application with which the user is interacting.

  • Publication number: 20150006775
    Abstract: A circuit may include a queue, a monitor, and a controller. The queue may receive and store a plurality of commands from a plurality of buses to access a shared set of registers. The monitor may monitor the plurality of commands in the queue to determine whether a period of time needs to be reserved for selected commands from one of the plurality of buses. The controller, if the period of time needs to be reserved, based on the period of time determined by the monitor, may disable acceptance of commands from buses other than the one of the plurality of buses, may execute the selected commands for the one of the plurality of buses, and may allow more than one of the plurality of buses access to results of the selected commands.

  • Publication number: 20140215057
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the methods and systems may include receiving an Application Program Interface (API) request, assigning a unique identifier to the API request, recording, in association with the unique identifier, receipt time corresponding to a time at which the API request is received, and associating one or more system state changes with the unique identifier. Advantageously, the present embodiments provide a more accurate failure monitoring and associated metrics. Additional benefits and advantages of the present embodiments will become evident in the following description.

  • Publication number: 20140214915
    Abstract: This disclosure has reference to verifying records of system change events in a distributed network system providing cloud services. In one embodiment, the methods and systems observe system update messages sent and received among components of the distributed network system, generate a record of the state of the object in response to the update messages, and compare the record of the state of the object with information from a periodic system status message to verify the accuracy of the periodic system status message. Advantageously, the present embodiments provide increased reliability for system status tracking, resource management, and billing for consumption of resources in distributed network systems. Additional benefits and advantages of the present embodiments will become evident in the following description.

  • Publication number: 20140214745
    Abstract: Predictive monitoring of objects in a distributed network system providing cloud services is disclosed. In one embodiment, the methods and systems observing one or more update messages sent and received among components of the distributed network system, the update messages comprising information associated with a state of an object on the distributed network system, determine the state of the object in response to the one or more update messages, and reference a predictive object state model to predict occurrence of an artifact in response to the state of the object. Advantageously, the present embodiments provide advanced warning of potential failures in a distributed network systems, which may enable a system administrator or dynamic process to resolve the failure before it ever occurs. Additional benefits and advantages of the present embodiments will become evident in the following description.
