Abstract: An M2M Server may be integrated into a 3GPP network. A network node, for example a Serving General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Support Node (SGSN) may include a dedicated interface with a M2M server. The interface may be called a GM2M interface. The interface may be a logical interface internal to the network node. The node may receive subscriber data and control data, wherein the control data facilitates a network control procedure and the subscriber data identifies a device involved in the network control procedure. The node may determine that the device involved in the network control procedure is a machine to machine device based on the subscriber data. The node may also send the control data to a machine to machine server using a message sent via a dedicated interface with the machine to machine server.

Abstract: The state of a system is determined in which data sets are generated that include a plurality of data instances representing states of one or more components of a computer system. The data instances generated by one or more data set sources that are configured to output a data instance in response to a trigger associated with the one or more components. The data instances are normalized by the application of one or more rules. The data instances from individual data set sources are separately collated to generate groups of time-specific collated data instances. State types may be assigned to each of the collated data instance groups. Distributions of state-types across the groups may be determined and a list of infrequent state-types may be generated based on the determined distributions of state-types across the groups.

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: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media are disclosed for applying filtering operations to data transferred as part of a direct memory access (DMA) operation. In one example of the disclosed technology, a system includes a processor, memory, and a direct memory access (DMA) engine coupled to the memory for reading a set of data from a selected range of read memory addresses for the memory without using the processor. A line buffer coupled to the DMA engine is configured to receive DMA read data and temporarily store a portion, but not all of the data set being read by the DMA engine in a line buffer. A digital filter is configured to apply a filtering operation to a windowed subset of the buffered portion of the data set, producing filtered data that is stored to a selected range of write memory addresses for the memory, without using the processor.

Abstract: Architecture that provides a unified interface to access resources in different formats and in disparate resource locations for a process (e.g., consuming application). The unified interface is extensible such that users can add additional components to the unified interface to provide access to new resources and new resource references. The interface provides the capability to create a single comprehensive index of all available resources regardless of the resource format. Format-specific indexers are provided for the resources to find, enumerate, and process the resources into a structure suitable for processing by an indexing component into the index. A user can introduce new format-specific indexers for new resources and new resource references for processing by the indexing component into the index. The unified interface now provides access to the new resources and new resources references as well.
