  • Publication number: 20230334488
    Abstract: Techniques for authenticating a digital asset represented by an NFT that is stored in a blockchain are disclosed. An NFT that has been minted for an asset is identified. The NFT was minted by generating metadata for the asset and by generating an original hash of the asset. The NFT is stored in a blockchain, and the metadata is stored in a centralized repository. The original hash is stored in either the repository or the blockchain. A potential transfer of the NFT is triggered. Triggering the potential transfer includes downloading, from the centralized repository, a local version of the asset. A local hash of the local version of the asset is generated. The local hash is compared against the original hash. If the two hashes are the same, then the transfer is permitted; otherwise, the transfer is not permitted.

  • Publication number: 20230259377
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide a user input predictive action system and method for an Information Handling System (IHS). In some embodiments, the user input predictive action system includes computer-executable instructions to launch a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a Command Line Interface (CLI) on a display, store usage information about a plurality of operations performed using at least one of the GUI or the CLI, and identify contextual information about one or more operations performed on the CLI or the GUI using the stored usage information. When the user is using the CLI, the instructions provide the contextual information to the user for aiding the user with entering a command using the CLI or the GUI.

  • Publication number: 20230229751
    Abstract: A PCIe resource management system includes a PCIe resource registration subsystem and a PCIe resource monitoring subsystem. Assets register to use PCIe resources of other assets and to allow other assets to use their PCIe resources. Assets specify which types of PCIe resources it can borrow, when it can borrow those PCIe resources, and a logical group of other assets from which the asset can borrow the PCIe resources. Assets also specify which types of PCIe resources it will lend, when it will lend those PCIe resources, and a logical group of other assets to which the asset will lend the PCIe resources. The PCIe resource registration subsystem maintains a PCIe resource registration datastore maintaining PCIe borrow and lending rules associated with assets in logical groups of assets. PCIe resources are shared between assets in the logical groups as needed, as determined by the PCIe resource monitoring subsystem.
