Abstract: An approach is provided in which a hypervisor provisions switch resources on a network interface card, which includes a virtual switch and a physical port. The hypervisor invokes a switch control module on a virtual machine, which provides control information to one or more of the switch resources. In turn, one or more of the switch resources utilize the control information to direct data packets between a source virtual machine and a destination virtual machine over one or more virtual networks that are independent of physical topology constraints of a physical network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method associating the freeform speech commands with one or more predefined commands from a set of predefined commands. The set of predefined commands are stored and alternate forms associated with each predefined command are retrieved from an external data source. The external data source receives the alternate forms associated with each predefined command from multiple sources so the alternate forms represent paraphrases of the predefined command. A representation including words from the predefined command and the alternate forms of the predefined command, such as a vector representation, is generated for each predefined command. A similarity value between received speech data and each representation of a predefined command is computed and the speech data is classified as the predefined command whose representation has the highest similarity value to the speech data.
