Abstract: An information handling system for providing comprehensive remote authorized access to multiple equipment in a datacenter. A mobile device security credential is first authenticated before access information is configured in the mobile device using a short-range wireless interface. The configured access information is mapped to the equipment and the corresponding access token and encryption keys from the equipment are received by the mobile device. The mobile device uses the access token and the encryption keys to simultaneously access the equipment through a long-range wireless interface. The simultaneous access includes parallel accessing of the equipment at a next accessing instance without requiring re-authentication. With the accessed equipment, the mobile device manages the accessed equipment based on the configured access information.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for providing video redirection across multiple Information Handling Systems (IHSs) are discussed. In some embodiments, a method may include: receiving, via a video redirection client, a video stream produced by a video redirection server executed by a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) of a selected IHS; providing the video stream to a framebuffer driver, where the frame buffer driver is configured to: (i) store frame data from the video stream onto a framebuffer memory; and (ii) in response to a determination that a host is not available, transmit control signals to a graphics core via an Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) high-performance bus (AHB)-to-Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) (AHB-to-PCI) bridge, where the graphics core is accessible via a PCI bus exclusively when the host is available; and transmitting the frame data to a display coupled to the chassis.

Abstract: Techniques for analyzing recommendations may be described. In particular, an item offered from a network-based resource may be selected based at least in part on past orders for the item. Recommended items offered from the network-based resource may also be identified. A determination may be made as to whether the recommended items may include the item. Based on this determination, an indication of an issue associated with recommending the item may be generated. Based on the indication, a workflow to identify a potential cause of the issue may be initiated.

Abstract: An inter-process communication (IPC) system, includes a first client engine, a first server engine, and a broker engine that is coupled to the first client engine. The broker engine initiates a first timer that is configured to reset when traffic is received from the first server engine while the first server engine is registered with the broker engine and coupled to the broker engine via a communication channel. The traffic that causes the first timer to reset includes at least one of: traffic generated by the first client engine to complete a request, and a first server-to-broker heartbeat message generated by the first server engine. The broker engine determines that the first timer has reached a predefined time amount, and in response, removes the registration of the first server engine and removes the communication channel between the broker engine and the first server engine.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for identifying randomized latent feature language modeling, such as a recurrent neural network language modeling (RNNLM). Sequences of item identifiers may be provided as the language for training the language model where the item identifiers are the words of the language. To avoid localization bias, the sequences may be randomized prior to or during the training process to provide more accurate prediction models.
