Abstract: System and techniques for performing a reduction operation using event hardware are described herein. In an environment in which sub-processes are run on different processors, and these sub-processes inform a head process via event messaging, when a reduction operation is completed by a sub-process of the sub-processes, the partial result of the sub-process is received at event management circuitry of the processor of the head process. The event management circuitry uses the partial result to update an incremental result to the reduction operation as each sub-process result event message is received.

Abstract: Latency in a node-based compute-near-memory system can be problematic. A solution to the problem can include or use a dedicated software-based cache at each node. The cache can be configured to store information received from each of the other nodes in the system. In an example, the cache can be populated during a breadth first search algorithm to store frontier information from each of the other nodes.

Abstract: The present invention provides shelf adjustment systems and methods that may be used in merchandiser display cases and other applications to accommodate changes in product offering, giving the user increased flexibility in the use of merchandiser display cases. The shelf adjustment systems of embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for coordinating shelf adjustment, such that adjusting the display angle of one shelf of the invention causes the display angle of another shelf or shelves to also be adjusted by the same amount as the adjusted shelf.

Abstract: A method is provided for indicating that a water heater has ceased to produce water at a temperature useful for sanitizing procedures. A temperature sensor is deployed at or near the water heater, such as adjacent a water line extending from the water heater. The temperature sensor provides a signal having at least one parameter that relates to the temperature of the water exiting the water heater. In the event that the temperature falls below a level useful for sanitizing procedures, an alarm is activated. The alarm may be located locally or remote.
