Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for transmitting data between a local computer and a remote computer are provided. An amount of data capable of being transmitted per frame from the local computer to the remote computer is determined. An amount of data associated with a current frame of data to be transmitted to the remote computer is also determined. A quality level for the data to be transmitted to the remote computer is then selected such that the amount of the data to be transmitted to the remote computer is less than or equal to the amount of data capable of being transmitted per frame to the remote computer.

Abstract: A customization program for use in customizing a baseboard management controller used for monitoring operation of various computer system components is disclosed. A user interacts with the customization program to customize the baseboard management controller based on a configuration of components specified for the baseboard of the computer system. The customization program provides a user interface having a repository of icons and a design page. The icons represent various components that may be connected, either directly or indirectly, to the baseboard. The design page is used for constructing a model representing the specified configuration of components. As a user drags icons onto the design page, the model is updated to reflect selection of the components corresponding to these icons. Further, the customization program creates a configuration file that identifies and describes each of the selected components.

Abstract: A method of filtering and encoding video data in a compressed format is provided. The method includes receiving pixels representing video data from an initial video display, receiving pixels representing video data from a subsequent video display, selecting a group of pixels from the subsequent video display as new video data, determining filtered pixel values from the new video data, and encoding the filtered values in a compressed format for communication to another computer accessible via a computer network.

Abstract: An integrated network and management controller and method for operating are disclosed. The network and management controller includes a network processing component that performs network-based functions and filters management data received over a network intended for consumption by the network and management controller. The network and management controller also includes a microcontroller that performs network based functions in conjunction with the network processing component and performs management functions associated with the computer system. The network processing component and the microcontroller are embedded in the network and management controller and are logically connected.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for configuring a baseboard management controller (BMC) for use in monitoring operation of various computer system components is disclosed. The BMC is communicatively connected to a plurality of components by way of a plurality of slave addresses. Each of the plurality of components sense information related to operating and performance-related parameters associated with various operating conditions inherent in the operation of the computer system. The components provide this sensed information to the BMC, which analyzes the information to determine whether any events are occurring in the computer system. Such an event would be the temperature within the computer system chassis being too hot. Those components communicatively connected to the management module are detected and then identified. Based on these identifications, a configuration file is created and incorporated into the BMC firmware to effectuate the aforementioned configuration process.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media provide a softprocessor that is executed by a hardware processing device of a sensor monitoring system and provide an application that is executed by the softprocessor being executed by the hardware processing device. The softprocessor may be compiled for different hardware processing devices such that the customized programming remains independent of the particular hardware processing device present in the computer monitoring system. Tools for creating the custom programming for the softprocessor may be provided to entities purchasing the softprocessor so that the entities are not dependent upon the entity creating the softprocessor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media provide a softprocessor that is executed by a hardware processing device of a sensor monitoring system and provide an application that is executed by the softprocessor being executed by the hardware processing device. Thus, any customized programming to control the behavior of the hardware processing device when monitoring sensors of the monitoring system is written for the softprocessor which then controls the hardware processing device accordingly. Therefore, any customized programming to control the hardware processing device need not be written and compiled for the hardware processing device itself, but may instead be written and compiled for the softprocessor. The softprocessor may be compiled for different hardware processing devices such that the customized programming remains independent of the particular hardware processing device present in the computer monitoring system.
