Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for communicating between dice of an inductively-coupled 3D integrated circuit (3D-IC). A transmit resonant circuit at a transmit die is inductively coupled to a first receive resonant circuit at a first receive die, and to a second receive resonant circuit at a second receive die. The resonant circuit at the targeted receive die is tuned to the frequency of resonance of the transmit resonant circuit, while the resonant circuit at the untargeted receive die is detuned, resulting in lower power consumption for a given bit error rate at the targeted die.

Abstract: A bipartite workflow graph, representing an understanding of an overall service, comprises two different graph elements: entities and processes and each individual microservice defines their logical constructs as either an entity or a process in accordance with a universal schema. Notifications from such microservices conform to the universal schema, thereby enabling microservices to individually change how they operate internally, without affecting an understanding of the overall system as represented by the workflow graph. Each graph element has its state maintained by a separately addressable execution unit executing a state machine, which can be individually updated based on information received from the microservices. Changes to the workflow graph are logged and an insight engine monitors such a log to insert insight markers in accordance with predefined events, thereby enabling the collection of metrics on a service wide basis and across multiple microservices.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system and method for automatic discovery and configuration of tunnel endpoints in a network. During operation, the system can broadcast, from an active tunnel endpoint, a peer-discovery-request message to the network. In response to receiving a peer-discovery-response message from a passive tunnel endpoint, the system can determine whether the passive tunnel endpoint has a tunnel based on the received peer-discovery response. In response to determining that the passive tunnel endpoint does not have a tunnel, the system creates a tunnel between the active tunnel endpoint and the passive tunnel endpoint and exchanges tunnel-configuration messages over the created tunnel.
