Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and programming for facilitating real-time determination of a process completion likelihood. In some embodiments, data including an update to a system, the update occurring at a first time, wherein updates to the system are permitted until an expiration time may be obtained, a set of fixed descriptors of the system may be retrieved and/or received, and a set of status updates describing the system at prior times may be obtained. Each status update of the set of one or more status updates includes at least (i) an update to the first system and (ii) a time that the respective status update occurred. Based on the data, the fixed descriptors, and the status updates, using a trained machine learning model, a failure/success score indicating a likelihood that, at the expiration time, the system satisfies a threshold condition may be computed and stored in memory.

Abstract: An endpoint in a network may make posted or non-posted write requests to another endpoint in the network. For a non-posted write request, the target endpoint provides a response to the requesting endpoint indicating that the write request has been serviced. For a posted write request, the target endpoint does not provide such an acknowledgment. Hence, posted write requests have lower overhead, but they suffer from potential synchronization and resiliency issues. While non-posted write requests do not have those issues, they cause increased load on the network because such requests require the target endpoint to acknowledge each write request. Introduced herein is a network operation technique that uses non-posted transactions while maintaining a load overhead of the network as a manageable level. The introduced technique reduces the load overhead of the non-posted write requests by collapsing and reducing a number of the responses.

Abstract: A receiver, transmitter and method for early packet header verification are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) receiving a payload flit of a preceding packet and a header flit of a current packet; and (2) using a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) in the header flit to verify the payload flit of the preceding packet and the header flit of the current packet.

Abstract: A receiver, transmitter and method for enabling a replay using a packetized link protocol are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) transmitting a stream of packets including an untagged packet and (2) using synchronized counters to determine a sequence ID of the untagged packet, which is a corrupt/lost packet that needs to be retransmitted.

Abstract: Remotely synchronizing data communicated in an electronic computing system. Ordered writing of a data set of discrete data packets (data) and a following associated semaphore packet (semaphore) from a source electronic device (source) to a bridge interface device (bridge). Relaxed writing of the data set from the bridge to discrete target memory addresses (targets) of a data-consuming electronic device (consumer), wherein the order of the data and the semaphore written to the targets is different than the order of the data and semaphore written with the ordered writing. Monitoring, by the consumer, the relaxed writing of the semaphore to one of the targets. Issuing a synchronization command to the bridge upon detection of the semaphore having been written to the one target. Sending a synchronization confirmation reply from the bridge after all of the data has been written to the targets.

Abstract: A separator 252 for immiscible liquids comprises a tank having an inlet, a separation chamber and an outlet chamber 262, with the inlet 12 feeding effluent into the separation chamber 28 at or below a maximum acceptable flow rate. The effluent is separated into a more dense and less dense fractions in the separation chamber 28. The separation chamber 28 is in communication with the outlet chamber 262, where the more dense fraction exits. An outlet 260 for the less dense fraction is in communication with the separation chamber 28 and has a lowermost exit level at which the less dense fluid exits. The more dense fluid cannot rise to the level of the lowermost level, and the height of the less dense fluid is such that it will exit through the outlet as the more dense fluid passes over the weir.

Abstract: A separator for separating oils from waste water and solids. Waste liquids are drained into a baffle tube of the separator so that the oils rise and the waste water and solids migrate to the bottom of the separator. A collection head having a restriction is located at the bottom of the separator and is adapted for suctioning the waste water and the solids therein and carrying the same to a discharge outlet of the separator. Waste liquids drained into the separator provide the hydraulic force to accelerate the waste water and solids into the collection head. Liquids drained into the separator also provide the hydraulic force that allows the oils to be drained from the top of the separator.

Abstract: A hierarchical memory request stream arbitration technique merges coherent memory request streams from multiple memory request sources and arbitrates the merged coherent memory request stream with requests from a non-coherent memory request stream. In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method of generating a merged memory request stream from a plurality of memory request streams includes merging coherent memory requests into a first serial memory request stream. The method includes selecting, by a memory controller circuit, a memory request for placement in the merged memory request stream from at least the first serial memory request stream and a merged non-coherent request stream. The merged non-coherent memory request stream is based on an indicator of a previous memory request selected for placement in the merged memory request stream.
