Publication number: 20220191602Abstract: Devices and techniques for out-of-band platform tuning and configuration are described herein. A device can include a telemetry interface to a telemetry collection system and a network interface to network adapter hardware. The device can receive platform telemetry metrics from the telemetry collection system, and network adapter silicon hardware statistics over the network interface, to gather collected statistics. The device can apply a heuristic algorithm using the collected statistics to determine processing core workloads generated by operation of a plurality of software systems communicatively coupled to the device. The device can provide a reconfiguration message to instruct at least one software system to switch operations to a different processing core, responsive to detecting an overload state on at least one processing core, based on the processing core workloads. Other embodiments are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Andrew J. Herdrich, Patrick L. Connor, Dinesh Kumar, Alexander W. MIN, Daniel J. DAHLE, Kapil Sood, Jeffrey B. SHAW, Edwin Verplanke, Scott P. Dubal, James Robert Hearn

Publication number: 20210318885Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for network security monitoring (NSM). A hardware queue manager (HQM) may include an input interface to receive first data from at least a first worker thread, queue duplication circuitry to generate a copy of at least a portion of the first data to create first copied data, and an output interface to (a) provide the first copied data to a second worker thread, and/or (b) provide at least a portion of the first data to a third worker thread.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Kapil Sood, Andrew J.

Patent number: 10884814Abstract: System and techniques for multifactor intelligent agent control are described herein. A workload request may be received from a user device via a network. The workload may be instantiated in an isolated environment on an edge computing platform. Here, the isolated environment may be a container or a virtual machine. The instantiation of the workload may include using a hardware security component (SEC) of the mobile edge computing platform to prevent access to data or code of the workload from other environments hosted by the mobile edge computing platform. The workload may then be executed in the isolated environment and a result of the workload returned to the user device.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kapil Sood, Patrick L. Connor, Scott P. Dubal, James Robert Hearn, Andrew J. Herdrich

Patent number: 10860374Abstract: In one embodiment, a system comprises platform logic comprising a plurality of processor cores and resource allocation logic. The resource allocation logic may receive a processing request and direct the processing request to a processor core of the plurality of processor cores, wherein the processor core is selected based at least in part on telemetry data associated with the platform logic, the telemetry data indicating a topology of at least a portion of the platform logic.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2015Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: James Robert Hearn, Patrick Connor, Kapil Sood, Scott P. Dubai, Andrew J. Herdrich
