  • Publication number: 20230205304
    Abstract: A system and method for efficient power management of an integrated circuit are described. In various implementations, a computing system includes an integrated circuit, multiple voltage regulators, and circuitry that detects when current drawn from a power rail from one of the multiple voltage regulators exceeds a limit. Upon detection, a single global alarm signal is asserted and conveyed to the integrate circuit. The integrated circuit includes at least a first group of functional blocks sharing a first power rail and a second group of functional blocks sharing a second power rail. When the global alarm signal is asserted, the functional blocks of the first group and the second group perform steps to immediately reduce power consumption. In order to maintain performance and satisfy a quality of service (QoS) parameter, a power management controller of the integrated circuit reassigns power limits shortly thereafter.

  • Patent number: 11294784
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing predictive user interface elements. A computing system may train a machine-learning model to identify issues that are likely being experienced by users contacting a customer service system based at least in part on historical user account data of a plurality of user accounts. When a request for assistance is received, user account data corresponding to the request may be obtained and provided to the model to identify issues likely experienced by a user. A number of graphical user interface (GUI) elements (e.g., “match cards”), each corresponding to one of the identified issues, may be generated, ranked, and presented in accordance with the ranking. Each GUI element may be selectable. Upon selection additional data likely to be pertinent to the selected issue may be presented alleviating a need to search for this data as would be the case in conventional systems.

  • Patent number: 11243813
    Abstract: Manage a request for a computing service through a hub solution available on a network. The underlying network fabric is the communication bus between individual processes that make up a service request. A process orchestrator may publish an Internet Protocol (IP) address for service requests such as printing services, email services, Active Directory (AD) services and similar service requests. The process orchestrator may determine which processes are to be executed to complete the service request and offload the processes to an available computing resources on the network. Examples of computing resources for each process include a virtual machine and a hardware based process engine. The process orchestrator may manage the processes and act as the primary point of interface for an endpoint host requesting the service.
