Abstract: An embodiment of a system and method disaggregate I/O resources from a server's compute resources, such as CPU and memory, by moving the server's local I/O devices to a remote location apart from the server's compute resources. An embodiment uses optical technology to accomplish the fast communication speeds needed between the compute resources and the remotely located I/O resources. Specifically, an embodiment uses fiber-optic cables and electrical-to-optical conversion to facilitate communication between the compute resources and the I/O resources. The compute resources and the remotely located I/O resources can be designed differently to allow conductive liquid cooling for the compute resources and air cooling for the I/O resources.

Abstract: A navigation device capable of displaying the public transportation service and method thereof are disclosed. The navigation device comprises a navigation module and a map database. The map database is for storing at least one digital map and the frequency of runs and the route forming the at least one public transportation service. The navigation module is for providing a navigation function and displaying the digital map and the route forming the public transportation service on the digital map for indication. The route is displayed by a different color, a different shape of the icon, or a different level of transparency, for the public transportation service having different frequency of runs.

Abstract: An intended usage of information to be displayed by a software application can be described. A selection of a user interface pattern module for displaying the information can be performed. The user interface pattern module can be designed for the intended usage. While running the application, user interface constructs for displaying the information using the user interface pattern module can be instantiated and organized, and can be rendered to display the information. Moreover, a first user interface pattern module can be selected and used with categorization metadata for the information to display the information in a first context, and a second user interface pattern module can be selected and used with the categorization metadata to display the information in a second context. Additionally, the categorization metadata may be revised, and the revised categorization metadata and a selected user interface pattern module may be used to instantiate and organize user interface constructs.
