Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a primary input/output (PIO) queue for host and guest operating systems (OS's) are disclosed. A system includes a PIO queue, one or more compute units, and a control unit. The PIO queue is able to store work commands for multiple different types of OS's, including host and guest OS's. The control unit is able to dispatch multiple work commands from multiple OS's to execute concurrently on the compute unit(s). This allows for execution of work commands by different OS's without the processing device(s) having to incur the latency of a world switch.

Abstract: A variable angle loading testing machine is provided, which may include a bottom plate and a base fixedly connected to the bottom plate. A rock-sample accommodating cavity is formed in the base, and a rectangle-shaped sample is suitable for being placed into the rock-sample accommodating cavity. A side of the base is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped tension beams arranged in parallel, and a variable angle loading mechanism is slidably connected between the two arc-shaped tension beams. Through-holes are formed on the base, and an output end of the variable angle loading mechanism abuts against the rectangle-shaped sample through one of the through-holes. Loading and unloading of a stress with variable direction and magnitude under excavation disturbance can be simulated, which is of great significance for understanding mechanical behaviors of rock-soil mass under excavation disturbance.
