  • Publication number: 20180351773
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus maps input symbols to be communicated onto a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol. The data processor includes an interleaver memory which reads-in the predetermined number of data symbols for mapping onto the OFDM sub-carrier signals. The interleaver memory reads-out the data symbols on to the OFDM sub-carriers to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are interleaved on to the sub-carrier signals. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit.

  • Patent number: 10082217
    Abstract: A torque motor valve actuator for use with a valve assembly is provided. The torque motor valve actuator includes an armature spring having a first end portion, a second end portion and a rigid central portion. The first end portion and the second end portion are coupled to the rigid central portion by a respective flexible portion, and the rigid central portion defines a bore that extends along a first axis. The torque motor valve actuator includes an armature having a first end and a second end. The armature extends along a longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the first axis of the bore, and the armature is coupled to the bore of the armature spring between the first end and the second end.

  • Publication number: 20180232386
    Abstract: A facility for snapshot space accounting for a storage system, such as a filesystem is disclosed. The facility enables users to quickly and easily determine the amount of storage space that would be released or recovered if a snapshot were to be purged. The facility may work in conjunction with, or as part of, a snapshot service. The facility maintains an expiration data structure and a count data structure and uses these data structures in implementing the disclosed snapshot space accounting techniques. The expiration data structure represents the life cycle of each snapshot element maintained by the facility while the count data structure represents, for pairs of snapshots, the size of the information stored in the snapshot data that expired and that spans the corresponding pair of snapshots.

  • Patent number: 9910717
    Abstract: A synchronization method in a computer system with multiple cores, wherein a group of threads executes in parallel on a plurality of cores, the group of threads being synchronized using barrier synchronization in which each thread in the group waits for all the others at a barrier before progressing; the group of threads executes until a first thread reaches the barrier; the first thread enters a polling state, repeatedly checking for a release condition indicating the end of the barrier; subsequent threads to reach the barrier are moved to the core on which the first thread is executing; and other cores are powered down as the number of moved threads increases; and wherein when the first thread detects the release condition, the powered down cores are powered up and are available for use by the threads.

  • Patent number: 9852033
    Abstract: A method of recovering application data from the memory of a failed node in a computer system comprising a plurality of nodes connected by an interconnect and of writing the application data to a replacement node; wherein a node of the computer system executes an application which creates application data storing the most recent state of the application in a node memory; the node fails; the node memory of the failed node is then controlled using a failover memory controller; and the failover memory controller copies the application data from the node memory of the failed node to a node memory of the replacement node over the interconnect.
