Abstract: A computing device provides a user recommendation according to one or more privacy protocols. The computing device sends to a server one or more encrypted recommendation requests for recommendation information relating to a set of items, where the recommendation requests are encrypted by a cryptographic key not accessible to the server. The server uses the encrypted recommendation requests and a recommendation data store to generate one or more encrypted recommendation responses that it returns to the computing device using at least one of the privacy protocols, which prevents the server from accessing the encrypted recommendation request and recommendation response. The computing device receives from the server the encrypted recommendation responses relating to the set of items and decrypts the recommendation responses. Then, the computing device generates a user recommendation relating to the set of items from the decrypted recommendation responses and provides the recommendation to the user.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for remotely configuring network memory are disclosed. One method embodiment, among others, comprises identifying a first device as having authority to control a memory device from a remote location, and writing start-up or reset parameters to memory of the memory device from the remote location, wherein the start-up or reset parameters are used to enable remote control of the memory device corresponding to remote direct memory access (RDMA) operations.

Abstract: An electronic system may include an application programming interface for use in conjunction with a virtual switch. In some embodiments, the electronic system may comprise a processor; a network interface controller including a hardware port, a virtual switch comprising software executed by the processor, and an application programming interface (“API”) running on the processor and usable by a application to interface with the virtual switch.
