Publication number: 20210224128Abstract: Techniques for managing workloads in processor cores are disclosed. High priority or mission critical workloads may be assigned to processor cores of a processor. When a power limited throttling condition is met, the processor may throttle some of its cores while not throttling the cores with the high priority or mission critical workloads assigned to it. Such an approach can ensure that mission critical workloads continue even upon throttling of the processor cores.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2020Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Chris M.

Patent number: 10936404Abstract: Technologies for error recovery in compressed data streams include a compute device configured to compress uncompressed data of an input stream to generate compressed data, perform a compression error check on the compressed data to verify integrity of the compressed data, and determine, as a result of the performed compression error check, whether the compressed data included a compression error. The compute device is further configured to transfer, in response to a determination that the performed compression error check indicated that the compressed data included the compression error, the uncompressed data into a destination buffer, and store an indication with the uncompressed data into the destination buffer, wherein the indication is usable to identify that the uncompressed data has been transferred into the destination buffer. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Laurent Coquerel, Paul Hough

Patent number: 10151475Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system for determining scaling in a boiler. At least one sensor may monitor a boiler during operation and provide sensor data to a boiler monitoring module including a boiler scaling determination module that may determine an amount of scaling in the boiler. Example sensor data may comprise power input, a temperature of liquid in the boiler and an air temperature within an enclosure housing the boiler. The boiler monitoring module may determine thermal energy transfer to the boiler based on the liquid and enclosure temperatures. A machine learning engine may determine a rate of thermal energy transfer to the liquid in view of the power input, the rate of thermal energy transfer being evaluated by the machine learning engine to identify delay in the rate of thermal energy transfer that quantifies an amount of scaling in the boiler.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2014Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Rita Chattopadhyay, Hoang Van, Trevor Ryan, Paul Hough

Patent number: 7843910Abstract: Deciphering and verification of the checksum of enciphered and encapsulated UDP datagrams, particularly those which enclose a tunneling protocol such as L2TP, are achieved by the provision of a checksum verifier in parallel with a decipher block. Checksum logic creates a pseudo UDP header needed for checksum verification using fields that would occur at the start of the packet that encapsulates the UDP datagram. The first part of the packet to be deciphered is the UDP header; checksum logic can latch the checksum field into a local register. As the rest of the packet is deciphered the checksum verifier processes the data at the same time. Eventually the checksum logic will acquire a complete checksum which can be compared with the checksum that had been previously latched, so as to verify the checksum.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2005Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Kevin Loughran, David Nolan, Paul Hough, Philip Pinto

Publication number: 20050029450Abstract: An atomic force microscope is described having a cantilever comprising a base and a probe tip on an end opposite the base; a cantilever drive device connected to the base; a magnetic material coupled to the probe tip, such that when an incrementally increasing magnetic field is applied to the magnetic material an incrementally increasing force will be applied to the probe tip; a moveable specimen base; and a controller constructed to obtain a profile height of a specimen at a point based upon a contact between the probe tip and a specimen, and measure an adhesion force between the probe tip and the specimen by, under control of a program, incrementally increasing an amount of a magnetic field until a release force, sufficient to break the contact, is applied. An imaging method for atomic force microscopy involving measuring a specimen profile height and adhesion force at multiple points within an area and concurrently displaying the profile and adhesion force for each of the points is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Paul Hough, Chengpu Wang
