Patent number: 11977757Abstract: Profile switching for memory overclocking is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a memory is operated according to a first memory profile. During operation of the memory according to the first memory profile, a request is received to operate the memory according to a second memory profile. Responsive to the request, operation of the memory is switched to operate according to the second memory profile without rebooting. In one or more implementations, at least one of the first memory profile or the second memory profile comprises an overclocking memory profile that configures the memory to operate in an overclocking mode. In one or more implementations, the memory is trained to operate according to the overclocking memory profile prior to operating the memory according to the first memory profile.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Grant Evan Ley, Jayesh Hari Joshi, Amitabh Mehra, Jerry Anton Ahrens, Joshua Taylor Knight, Anil Harwani, William Robert Alverson

Patent number: 11882187Abstract: IoT devices within a commercial real-estate or residential building environment may be connected through networks, such as a Building Automation and Control network (BACnet). Systems and methods according to this disclosure provide automatic discovery of IoT devices and relationships in commercial real-estate and residential buildings and integration of the BACnet devices into the digital twin of the building. In some implementations, an IoT gateway is configured to translate the communication received from the BACnet to an IoT cloud platform and configured to normalize the data across the different security platforms into a consistent format which enables integration and interoperability of the different building system platforms that may otherwise be operating in isolation from each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: cohesionIB, Inc.Inventors: Robert Knight, Nikunj Patel, Rick Szcodronski
