Abstract: Methods and systems for restoring data to a host device are described. According to some embodiments, a hybrid buffer may be used to generate a twin file of each file object to be restored and append the twin file to the corresponding file object. Each file object and its corresponding twin file may be transmitted to a construction container via a restore agent. In the event of an unexpected abort during the first restoration session, the restore agent may preserve the twin file of a file object currently being restored (if one has been created at the time of the abort) and instruct the hybrid buffer to terminate operation. During a subsequent restore session, the restore agent may poll for the preserved twin file and commence the data restore operation from the file object currently being restored using the twin file.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus employ a plurality of heterogeneous compute units and a plurality of non-compute units operatively coupled to the plurality of compute units. Power management logic (PML) determines a memory bandwidth level associated with a respective workload running on each of a plurality of heterogeneous compute units on the IC, and adjusts a power level of at least one non-compute unit of a memory system on the IC from a first power level to a second power level, based on the determined memory bandwidth levels. Memory access latency is also taken into account in some examples to adjust a power level of non-compute units.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and platform for conducting a buying campaign of a cohort of a plurality of buyers and suppliers. An online platform enables engagement, collaboration and sharing with buyers and suppliers. A lead moderator orchestrates the buying campaign. Preference parameters and nano segments are created.

Abstract: A carrier of an electronic device is provided with a soft stopper that may maintain the carrier at a service position within a chassis slot. As the carrier is inserted into the slot, at a determined point the soft stopper impinges upon a bumper. Further movement of the carrier into the slot requires the user to force the soft stopper to compress or flex and bypass the bumper. With the chassis slot vertically oriented the soft stopper may maintain the carrier and electronic device in service position, disconnected, while service is performed on a chassis circuit board.

Abstract: The disclosed approaches involve executing simulator-parallel processes that correspond to states of a finite state machine representation of a circuit design. Execution of each simulator-parallel process is initiated in response to an event generated by another one of the simulator-parallel processes. A data access transaction of the circuit design is simulated by calling a first function of a wrapper from a first process of the simulator-parallel processes. The first process waits for an estimated number of simulation clock cycles. The estimated number of simulation clock cycles represents an actual time period required to complete an actual data access transaction.
