Abstract: Examples relate to the configuration of network connections for computing devices. In some examples, a computing device determines that a network is inaccessible through a first network connection provided by a network access node. The computing device determines that the network is accessible through a first computing device that provides a second connection to the network. The computing device generates gateway configuration data for a second computing device based on an address for the first computing device. The computing device transmits the gateway configuration data to the second computing device to cause the second computing device to use the first computing device as a gateway.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide an optimized image filter. The optimized image and video obtains an input image and selects a target pixel for modification. Difference values are then determined between the selected target pixel and each reference pixel of a search area. Subsequently, a weighting function is used to determine weight values for each of the reference pixels of the search area based on their respective difference value. The selected target pixel is then modified by the optimized image filter using the determined weight values. A new target pixel in an apply patch is then selected for modification. The new target pixel is modified using the previously determined weight values reassigned to a new set of reference pixels. The previously determined weight values are reassigned to the new set of reference pixels based on each of the new set of reference pixels' position relative to the new target pixel.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to reduce localized transistor operating temperature increases in fully integrated voltage regulator circuits are provided. Transistor self-heating effects are reduced by dispersing heat more evenly over the integrated circuit die, via use of nested voltage regulator circuits and/or use of more than one transistor in a voltage regulator circuit pass device. An electrically parallel-connected group of multiple individual integrated transistors may be laid out across cooler areas of the integrated circuit die, such as in substantially linear sets or rings of devices near the outer die perimeter. Each transistor in the group may better disperse its own heat if it is thermally segregated from other self-heating devices, as through a minimum physical layout spacing. Transistor bias voltage mismatch tolerances, load currents, and routing resistances may interrelatedly determine the number of individual transistors needed in a group.

Abstract: Software, hardware, and virtual network resources are anti-collocated on a networked computing environment. A computerized network-management system receives a list of resources to be installed on components of a network and a set of anti-collocation rules that identify combinations of resources that may not be installed concurrently on the same network component. Each resource is assigned a priority and the resources are organized into groups as a function of these priorities. The groups are processed sequentially in priority order, and a color is assigned to each resource in each group. Any resource not constrained by an anti-collocation rule is assigned a default “most popular” color. Each constrained resource is assigned a color that is not already used by any other resource with which the constrained resource is anti-collocated. The resources in each group are then installed in order of color, with the more populous colors being installed first.

Abstract: In an example, a system and method for centering in a high-performance interconnect (HPI) are disclosed. When an interconnect is powered up from a dormant state, it may be necessary to “center” the clock signal to ensure that data are read at the correct time. A multi-phase method may be used, in which a first phase comprises a reference voltage sweep to identify an optimal reference voltage. A second phase comprises a phase sweep to identify an optimal phase. A third sweep comprises a two-dimensional “eye” phase, in which a plurality of values within a two-dimensional eye derived from the first two sweeps are tested. In each case, the optimal value is the value that results in the fewest bit error across multiple lanes. In one example, the second and third phases are performed in software, and may include testing a “victim” lane, with adjacent “aggressor” lanes having a complementary bit pattern.

The secondary networking device can determine that the primary networking device is still active when the first communication connection is unavailable and, in response, establish a proxy communication connection between the primary networking device and the control system.

Abstract: A method and associated systems of automatic notification of isolation of a first networked device. In response to detecting that it is not being properly managed by a network-management means, the first networked device creates a notification message that identifies the problem and requests proper network management. The device then transmits this message to any other device or networked node that it can communicate with, along with a request that recipients try to forward the message to the network-management means. If a device that receives the message is able to forward the message successfully, the network-management means takes appropriate steps to begin properly managing the first networked device.

Abstract: An approach for sharing an asset in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network is provided. After a computer sends a request to a new node for a new subscription and prior to the computer receiving the new subscription, the new node requests a digital certificate or permission from a user. The new node receives the digital certificate or permission. The new node determines a number of P2P connections in the network does not exceed a threshold amount and determines that no bandwidth degradation exists in the network. Responsive to receiving the digital certificate or permission, determining the number of P2P connections does not exceed the threshold, and determining that no bandwidth degradation exists in the network, the new node transfers the asset to the computer and updates a local list of nodes authorized to receive assets shared by the new node by adding an identification of the computer.
