Abstract: A method, apparatus and system. The method includes: performing one or more training iterations to tune a target clock signal frequency to be applied at a memory device, each of the one or more training iterations including: causing a modified clock signal frequency to be applied at the memory device; and decoding a quality feedback message from the memory device including an indication of a performance of the clock signal frequency at the memory device; and in response to a determination that the performance of the clock signal frequency falls within a target performance range of the memory device and that the clock signal frequency is below the target clock signal frequency, performing a subsequent training iteration of the one or more training iterations, and otherwise causing application at the memory device, during a memory operation, of a highest clock signal frequency corresponding to a training iteration for which performance of the clock signal was within the target performance range.

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.

Adaptation of the link is to include receiving a pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) from a remote agent, analyzing the PRBS to identify characteristics of the data link, and generating metric data describing the characteristics.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to electrical margining of multi-parameter high-speed interconnect links with multi-sample probing are described. In one embodiment, logic is provided to generate one or more parameter values, corresponding to an electrical operating margin of an interconnect. The one or more parameter values are generated based on a plurality of eye observation sets to be detected in response to operation of the interconnect in accordance with a plurality of parameter sets (e.g., by using quantitative optimization techniques). In turn, the interconnect is to be operated at the one or more parameter values if it is determined that the one or more parameter values cause the interconnect to operate at an optimum level relative to an operation of the interconnect in accordance with one or more less optimum parameter levels. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for touch point detection include a computing device configured to receive input frames from a touch screen, identify touch point centroids and cluster boundaries, and track touch points. The computing device may group cells of the input frame into blocks. Using a processor graphics, the computing device may dispatch one thread per block to identify local maxima of the input frame and merge centroids within a touch distance threshold. The computing device may dispatch one thread per centroid to detect cluster boundaries. The computing device may dispatch one thread per previously identified touch point to assign an identifier of a previously tracked touch point to a touch point within a tracking distance threshold, remove duplicate identifiers, and assign unassigned identifiers to closest touch points. The computing device may dispatch one thread per block to assign unique identifiers to each unassigned touch point. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
