Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems to dynamically schedule a workload to among compute blocks based on temperature are disclosed. An apparatus to schedule a workload to at least one of a plurality of compute blocks based on temperature includes a prediction engine to determine (i) a first predicted temperature of a first compute block of the plurality of compute blocks and (ii) a second predicted temperature of a second compute block of the plurality of compute blocks. The apparatus also includes a selector to select between the first compute block and the second compute block for assignment of the workload. The selection is based on which of the first and second predicted temperatures is lower. The apparatus further includes a workload scheduler to assign the workload to the selected one of the first or second compute blocks.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate a computer system platform boot is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a system on chip (SOC), including a cache memory, a storage device to store platform firmware including boot code, a security controller to load the boot code into the cache during a platform reset and a processor to execute the boot code from the cache memory to initiate the SOC.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate firmware resiliency in a computer system platform is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a first non-volatile memory to store primary firmware for a computer system platform, a second non-volatile memory to store a firmware copy of the primary firmware and a resiliency hardware, coupled to the first non-volatile memory via the system fabric, to detect unauthorized access to the primary firmware and restore the primary firmware stored in the first non-volatile memory with the firmware copy.

Abstract: A method of performing measurements of an earth formation includes disposing at least a first receiver and a second receiver in one or more monitoring boreholes in a formation, and injecting fluid into the formation from an injection borehole, wherein injecting includes operating a fluid control device to generate seismic and/or acoustic noise having an identifiable characteristic. The method also includes detecting seismic and/or acoustic signals at the first receiver and detecting seismic and/or acoustic signals at a second receiver, the seismic and/or acoustic signals corresponding to the seismic and/or acoustic noise, calculating an estimate of a Green's function between the first receiver and the second receiver by processing seismic and/or acoustic waves detected by the first receiver and the second receiver to at least partially reconstruct the Green's function, and estimating variations in a velocity of a region of the formation by determining variations in the reconstructed Green's function.
