Abstract: System, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for auto-scaling of a deployment based on resource utilization data for a workload executing on the deployment. A resource availability is determined based on the resource utilization data and a current resource allocation of the deployment. A severity of resource throttling of the workload may be determined based on the resource utilization data, and a scaling factor is determined based at least on the severity of resource throttling. In response to at least the resource availability satisfying a predetermined condition with a predetermined threshold, the deployment is scaled based on the scaling factor.

Abstract: Techniques for processing packets on a network interface controller (NIC) with memory chiplets are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a NIC includes a disaggregated memory with several high-bandwidth memory chiplets spread out in various locations on the NIC. The disaggregated nature of the memory can improve latency, throughput, and scalability as well as improve thermal performance by distributing heat generation to different locations on the NIC. In use, ports of the NIC can be configured to identify packets associated with certain flows and direct those packets to queues on the NIC. Direct memory access circuitry can copy the packets from queues on the NIC to queues on the system memory. This chain of copying packets from the port to the system memory creates a kind of virtual circuit, delivering packets directly to applications with low latency.

Abstract: Glass-based substrates are described herein that may be processed by methods including applying a cover article onto a glass-based substrate, submerging the glass-based substrate in an etchant, and maintaining the submersion of the glass-based substrate in the etchant. The glass-based substrate may include a covered surface portion and an exposed surface portion. At least a portion of the covered surface portion may be in direct contact with the cover article. The covered surface portion may not be in contact with the etchant and the exposed surface portion may be in direct contact with the etchant. The etchant may contact the exposed surface portion and the cover article fora time sufficient to etch the exposed surface portion. The cover article may provide a barrier between the etchant and the covered surface portion for the entirety of the submerging.

Abstract: A system having a set of power amplifiers each having a primary inductive structure configured to provide an output signal. A secondary inductive structure is configured to inductively couple to each of the primary inductive structures. A transmission line is provided with a signal trace and a ground trace. The signal trace of the transmission line is connected to a first end of the secondary inductive structure. A return path from a second end of the secondary inductive structure is coupled via a resonant network to the ground trace of the transmission line, in which the return path is spaced away from the secondary inductive structure to minimize inductive coupling to the primary structures.
