Abstract: The present disclosure describes a network switch design that includes a vertical switch circuit board that is mounted parallel to the front panel of the network switch. The vertical circuit board supports switch chip(s) to process and forward packets and pluggable module connectors to receive pluggable optics modules that provide connections to other network switches. The pluggable module connectors are horizontally oriented to facilitate routing of electrical signal traces. The arrangement of the circuit board, switch chip(s) and pluggable module connectors achieves reduced lengths for the electrical signal traces that connect the switch chip(s) to the pluggable module connectors. The design improves cooling by providing separate airflow regions between the switch chip heatsink(s) and the optics modules.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to low power wake-up radio beacon signaling. An access point may determine timing information for the transmission of low power wake up radio beacons and send that timing information to a user device. An access point may then send low power wake up radio beacons based on that timing information to a user device, and a user device may receive the low power wake up radio beacons based on the timing information.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to technologies for reliable packet transmission. In some examples, a network interface includes circuitry to: receive a request to transmit a packet to a destination device, select a path for the packet, provide a path identifier identifying one of multiple paths from the network interface to a destination and Path Sequence Number (PSN) for the packet, wherein the PSN is to identify a packet transmission order over the selected path, include the PSN in the packet, and transmit the packet. In some examples, if the packet is a re-transmit of a previously transmitted packet, the circuitry is to: select a path for the re-transmit packet, and set a PSN of the re-transmit packet that is a current packet transmission number for the selected path for the re-transmit packet.

Abstract: Techniques for using finite state machines (FSMs) to implement workflows in a data processing system comprising at least one data store storing data objects and a workflow management system (WMS). The WMS is configured to perform: determining a current value of an attribute of a first data object by accessing the current value in the at least one data store; identifying, using the current value and metadata specifying relationships among at least some of the data objects, an actor authorized to perform a workflow task for the first data object; generating a GUI through which the actor can provide the input that the workflow task is to be performed; and in response to receiving, from the actor and through the GUI, input specifying that the workflow task is to be performed: performing the workflow task; and updating the current workflow state of the first FSM to a second workflow state.

Abstract: In a processing system, an identifier for a current version of code for an application is published in a message to a shared event stream. Any instances of the application within the processing system may update to the current version before processing other messages having sequence numbers after the message containing the identifier. In this manner, multiple instances of the application may be periodically updated to maintain global consistency of the application and the shared event stream.

Abstract: Embodiments of an overlay network with innovative virtual network switches and related network interface controllers are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the overlay network may comprise at least one virtual network switch (VNS), wherein each VNS is installed within a corresponding first processing endpoint which is logically above a virtualization layer of a virtual network. And, the VNS may be configured to intercept data packets transmitted on a network layer logically below the virtualization layer of the virtual network. The VNS may comprise: (a) a manager element configured to connect to at least one virtual network interface controller (VNIC), each VNIC being installed within a corresponding second processing endpoint of the virtual network, the second processing endpoint being separate from the first processing endpoint; (b) a replicator node configured to replicate and route the data packets; and (c) a switch controller configured to control the first replicator node.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel system and method for TCP-to-multicast (T2M) communications. The T2M techniques may allow a client to make a single TCP connection that then fans out into communications with multiple back-end resources. Such one-to-many communications may be invisible to the client but can achieve many practical benefits.

Abstract: Techniques for obtaining information about data entity instances managed by a data processing system using at least one data store. The techniques include obtaining a query comprising a first portion comprising information for identifying instances of a first data entity stored in at least one data store; and a second portion indicating at least one attribute of the first data entity; generating, from the query, a plurality of executable queries including a first set of one or more executable queries and a second set of one or more executable queries, the generating comprising: generating, using the first portion, the first set of executable queries for identifying instances of the first data entity, and generating, using the second portion, the second set of executable queries for obtaining attribute values for instances of the first data entity; and executing the plurality of executable queries to obtain results for the query.

Abstract: A method implemented by a data processing system for: enabling a user to preview attributes of fields of an expanded view of a base dataset and to specify one or more of the fields to use in downstream data processing and generating a dataset that includes the one or more of the fields from the preview specified to be used in the downstream data processing, with the generated dataset having increased efficiency with respect to speed and data memory, relative to an efficiency of generating a dataset including all the fields of the expanded view when only the specified one or more of the fields are used in the downstream data processing.

Abstract: Communication techniques are disclosed for a distributed computing system. The technique may be applied to an inline clearing and settlement messaging protocol whereby a matching engine may issue a transaction request (or settlement request) upon matching a proposed trade, identifying the parties and assets for the trade. A message gateway may validate and transmit the transaction request to a sequencer which sequences the transaction request into a time-accurate event stream so that transaction requests are distributed to relevant parties in chronological order. Each party may respond to the transaction request by simply checking its account to confirm availability of the relevant asset for the proposed trade and issuing a clearance response. The clearance responses form the basis for a transaction response that the message gateway sends to the matching engine to indicate success or failure of the inline clearing and settlement.
