Abstract: A system and method for dynamically adjusting a frequency of a processor. A connection status of input/output (I/O) interfaces of a processor is determined. An amount of power that can be saved is determined based on the connection status of the I/O interfaces. A frequency of the processor is then adjusted based on the amount of power that can be saved. The frequency of the processor may be adjusted based on a power frequency mapping table which includes various power levels and corresponding frequency values. The processor may be configured with a default frequency and the default frequency is adjusted based on the amount of power that can be saved. The connection status of the I/O interfaces may be determined, and the frequency of the processor may be adjusted accordingly, during boot up of the processor or during runtime of the processor.

Abstract: Various approaches to efficiently allocating and utilizing hardware resources in data centers while maintaining compliance with a service level agreement are described. In various embodiments, an application-level service level objective (SLO) specified for a computational workload is translated into a hardware-level SLO to facilitate direct enforcement by the hardware processor, e.g., using a feedback control loop or model-based mapping of the hardware-level SLO to allocations of microarchitecture resources of the processor. In some embodiments, a computational model of the hardware behavior under resource contention is used to predict the application performance (e.g., as measured in terms of the hardware-level SLO) to be expected under certain contention scenarios. Scheduling of workloads among the compute nodes within the data center may be based on such predictions.

Abstract: The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition and a method for treating cancer, and the composition comprises a proteasome inhibitor and a nuclear export inhibitor. The composition has synergistic effects on treating cancers, particularly a solid tumor cancer. Specifically, the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and CRM1 inhibitor KPT330 induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in sensitive cells, such as HCT116 and RKO cells. Bortezomib induces the nuclear export of p53, whereas it could be effectively blocked by KPT330. CRM1 inhibitor KPT330 synergistically sensitizes CRC cells to bortezomib treatment in vitro and in vivo, through inhibiting nuclear export and restoring functions of p53. The invention also provides use of proteasome inhibitor in a solid tumor cancer. The invention provides a rationale for the use of proteasome inhibitor together with nuclear export blocker in the treatment of cancers, such as colorectal cancer.
