Abstract: A first workgroup is preempted in response to threads in the first workgroup executing a first wait instruction including a first value of a signal and a first hint indicating a type of modification for the signal. The first workgroup is scheduled for execution on a processor core based on a first context after preemption in response to the signal having the first value. A second workgroup is scheduled for execution on the processor core based on a second context in response to preempting the first workgroup and in response to the signal having a second value. A third context it is prefetched into registers of the processor core based on the first hint and the second value. The first context is stored in a first portion of the registers and the second context is prefetched into a second portion of the registers prior to preempting the first workgroup.

Abstract: Presented here is a system and method to bridge the gap between the disparate platforms, and to allow the user to interface with the disparate platforms using a natural language interface. The system can improve user interface for electronic devices because the user does not have to switch between the disparate platforms. Instead, the user can interact with the disparate platforms through a single natural language interface. The disparate platforms, some of which may not have a natural language user interface, can be enabled to interact with the user through the natural language interface when the system interfaces between a natural language processing platform and the remainder of the disparate platforms.

Abstract: A random orbit scrubber comprises a main body having a front end and a rear end, a squeegee assembly coupled to the rear end of the main body, and a cleaning head assembly coupled to the front end of the main body. The cleaning head assembly can include a cleaning element structured for contact with a floor surface. The cleaning head assembly can further include a motor that is operable to impart rotational and orbital movement on the cleaning element. The cleaning head assembly can also include one or more arcuate cleaning fluid manifolds each having a plurality of dispensing points to distribute cleaning fluid in one or more locations on top of and in front of the cleaning element. The arcuate cleaning fluid manifolds can include variable flow nozzles and can be mounted to a carriage that rotates about the cleaning head assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to providing hardware isolated virtualized environments (HIVEs) with network information. The HIVEs are managed by a hypervisor that virtualizes access to one or more physical network interface cards (NICs) of the host. Each HIVE has a virtual NIC backed by the physical NIC. Network traffic of the HIVEs flows through the physical NIC to a physical network. Traits of the physical NIC may be projected to the virtual NICs. For example, a media-type property of the virtual NICs (exposed to guest software in the HIVEs) may be set to mirror the media type of the physical NIC. A private subnet connects the virtual NICs with the physical NICs, possibly through a network address translation (NAT) component and virtual NICs of the host.

Abstract: Methods for transfer of bulk data from a leader device to a follower device over a bus are described. The methods employ address frames and write frames. The bus, the address frames, and the write frames are compatible with Clause 45 of IEEE Std 802.3-2015. The methods achieve a reduction in the number of frames employed to transfer data as contrasted with conventional indirect write transactions. After transmitting on a Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) data signal an address frame that specifies the follower device and that contains the address of an initial register, the leader device proceeds to transmit on the MDIO data signal multiple write frames that specify the target follower device, the multiple write frames transmitted one at a time, each write frame containing a different block of the bulk data. A follower device implements a post-write-increment-address action, despite the absence of any definition in Clause 45 of IEEE Std 802.3-2015 of a post-write-increment-address frame.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and processes to thermally regenerate and re-concentrate a liquid desiccant (absorbent) with an electrically driven heat pump. The regeneration and re-concentration may be performed in a cost and energy efficient manner.

Abstract: A high-bandwidth adaptive cache reduces unnecessary cache accesses by providing a laundry counter indicating whether a given adaptive cache region has any dirty frames to allow write-back without a preparatory adaptive cache read. An optional laundry list allows the preparatory adaptive cache read to also be avoided if the tags of the data being written back match all tags of the data in the adaptive cache that is dirty.

Abstract: In some examples, a controller for a network includes a path computation module configured for execution by one or more processors to obtain configuration information for at least one point-to-multipoint label switched path (P2MP LSP); obtain, from the network via at least one protocol, network topology information defining a network topology for the network; determine, based on the network topology, a first solution comprising first respective paths through the network for the at least one P2MP LSP; determine, after generating a modified network topology based on the network topology, a second solution comprising second respective paths through the network for the at least one P2MP LSP. The controller also includes a path provisioning module configured for execution by the one or more processors to configure the network with the solution of the first solution and the second solution having the lowest total cost.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manipulating polarizable dielectric particles. The method includes positioning a liquid containing the particles above a surface of a piezoelectric material (2). The method also includes inducing a shear-horizontal surface acoustic wave in the piezoelectric material (2), thereby to form a time-varying non-uniform evanescent electric field extending into the liquid. The method further includes using the time-varying non-uniform evanescent electric field to apply a force to at least some of the particles (50, 52) by dielectrophoresis.

Abstract: Techniques for adaptive query targeting in a dynamic distributed computing environment are provided. In one aspect, a method for adaptive query targeting in a distributed computing system having two or more cooperating nodes is provided. The method includes the steps of: using a peer selection criteria to select one or more of the nodes as target peers for a query from a querying node; leasing the query to the target peers for a given length of time via a lease having a given lifetime; periodically refreshing the query during the lifetime of the lease by re-evaluating the peer selection criteria such that the query persists on one or more of the target peers for the lifetime of the lease; and having the query removed from the target peers when the lease expires.

Abstract: A system and method for efficient management of network traffic management of highly data parallel computing. A processing node includes one or more processors capable of generating network messages. A network interface is used to receive and send network messages across a network. The processing node reduces at least one of a number or a storage size of the original network messages into one or more new network messages. The new network messages are sent to the network interface to send across the network.
