Abstract: A present invention embodiment requests resources for a set of tasks from different resource providers. The set of tasks includes first tasks and second tasks of longer duration than the first tasks. The resources are revocable by the different resource providers based on processing demand. Performance of the first tasks is initiated on the resources, and stable resources are identified based on revocation of the resources during performance of the first tasks. Performance of the second tasks are initiated on the identified stable resources. Requests for the resources to the different resource providers are adjusted based on resource provider information collected in response to completion of the set of tasks.

Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit includes a sampling circuit, a phase detector, a first processing circuit, a second processing circuit and an oscillator circuit. The sampling circuit is configured to sample input data according to an output clock, and generate a sampling result. The phase detector is configured to generate a detection result according to the sampling result. The first processing circuit is configured to process the sampling result to generate a first digital code. The second processing circuit is configured to accumulate a portion of the first digital code to generate a second digital code. A rate of change of a code value of the second digital code is slower than a rate of change of a code value of the first digital code. The oscillator circuit is configured to generate the output clock according to the detection result, the first digital code and the second digital code.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of rice genetics. More specifically, the invention relates to nucleic acid molecules from regions in the rice genome, which are associated with resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea. The invention relates to methods which employ such nucleic acid molecules to produce plants, particularly rice plants, that are resistant to infection by Magnaporthe grisea. The invention relates to the use of such nucleic acids or fragments thereof as markers for resistance to infection with Magnaporthe grisea in a plant breeding program. The invention also relates to proteins encoded by such nucleic acid molecules as well as antibodies capable of recognizing these proteins.

Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The nucleic acid sequence can be transformed into plant cells. The nucleic acid codes for disease resistance in plants. The transformed plant cells can then be introduced to plants for regeneration of disease resistant plants.
