  • Patent number: 11277447
    Abstract: A distributed policy proxy system offloads network policy processing from an overloaded network element to policy proxy network elements. A network controller detects that policy resources are overloaded at a network element, and selects a group of policy proxy network elements. The network controller assigns an exclusive range of endpoint groups to each policy proxy network element. Each policy proxy network element is assigned to handle policy processing for its assigned range of endpoint groups. The network controller provides instructions to the policy proxy network elements to enable each policy proxy network element to apply the network policy for its assigned range of endpoint groups. The network controller also provides instructions to the overloaded network element to redirect a packet from the first endpoint group to a first policy proxy network element based on a destination of the packet.

  • Patent number: 11275663
    Abstract: A dedicated pin of a processor or system-on-chip (SoC) is used to indicate whether power level (e.g., charge, voltage, and/or current) of a battery falls below a threshold. The threshold can be predetermined or programmable. The battery is used to provide power to the processor and/or SoC. Upon determining that the power level of the battery falls below the threshold, the processor by-passes the conventional process of entering low performance or power mode, and directly throttles voltage and/or operating frequency of the processor. This allows the processor to continue to operate at low battery power. The fast transition (e.g., approximately 10 ?S) from an active state to a low performance or power mode, in accordance with a logic level of the voltage on the dedicated pin, reduces decoupling capacitor design requirements, and makes it possible for the processor to adapt higher package power control settings (e.g., PL4).

  • Patent number: 11275619
    Abstract: Respective memory devices are assigned to respective processor devices in a disaggregated computing system, the disaggregated computing system having at least a pool of the memory devices and a pool of the processor devices. An iterative learning algorithm is used to define data boundaries of a dataset for performing an analytic function on the dataset simultaneous to a primary compute task, unrelated to the analytic function, being performed on the dataset in the pool of memory devices using memory bandwidth not currently committed to the primary compute task, thereby efficiently employing the unused memory bandwidth to prevent underutilization of the pool of memory devices.

  • Patent number: 11277863
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless node may transmit directional signals in a sweeping transmission pattern while receiving communications from a second wireless node. Another wireless node may then, during a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, receive one of the directional signals, and terminate a correspondence communication session to avoid potential interference. Additionally or alternatively, a wireless node may listen in directions in a sweeping receive pattern while transmitting to a second wireless node. While listening, the wireless node may detect a transmission from a third wireless node in a particular direction. The wireless node may then accordingly refrain from transmitting in that direction to avoid potential interference.

  • Patent number: 11276748
    Abstract: A switchable metal insulator metal capacitor (MIMcap) and a method for fabricating the MIMcap. In another aspect of the invention operating the MIMcap is also described. A first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate are separated by a capacitor dielectric and disposed over a substrate. A first via is electrically connected to the first capacitor plate and comprised of phase change material (PCM). The PCM is deposited in an electrically conductive state and convertible by application of heat to an insulating state. A first heater is proximate to and electrically isolated from the PCM in the first via. When the first heater is activated it converts the PCM in the first via to the insulating state. This isolates the first capacitor plate from an integrated circuit.
