  • Patent number: 10391408
    Abstract: This disclosure presents systems and methods to facilitate user interactions with virtual objects depicted as being present in a real-world space. A representation of a first location in a real-world space may include one or more virtual objects depicted in the representation of the first location as being present in the first location. An orientation of a computing platform physically present at a second location may be obtained. An image may be generated based on one or more of the representation of the first location, the orientation, and/or other information. The image may depict the representation of the first location within a field of view of the real-world space and one or more virtual objects depicted as being present in the first location within the field of view. The user may interact with virtual object depicted as being present in the first location within the field of view.

  • Publication number: 20080059971
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine a group associated with a command, wherein the command comprises a resource-allocating command in a logically-partitioned electronic device and determine when to perform the command based on the group. By grouping commands and scheduling the commands based on the group to which they belong, in an embodiment commands may be performed at an appropriate time when their impact on the performance of the logical partitions will be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20070300036
    Abstract: Method, apparatus and article of manufacture for determining memory requirements for a partition manager based on a given configuration. In one embodiment, a quantity of memory required for each of a plurality of components is determined, where each component is a collection of function-related code portions. Then, a total quantity of memory required for the partition manager based on the quantities of memory required for the plurality of components is determined.

  • Publication number: 20050022200
    Abstract: A partition manager includes a resource detection mechanism that uses a persistent resource database to determine which resources were seen previously, and to determine which resources are required for a logical partition to start. Once all required resources for a logical partition are detected, the logical partition is started. In this manner, a logical partition may be started as soon as all of its resources are available, without waiting on the resources of other logical partitions. In addition, a missing required resource will prevent a logical partition from starting, thus avoiding the crash of a logical partition due to missing resources.
