Publication number: 20240004680Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for CPU core off-parking. In one example implementation, a performance test is executed for a CPU core that is part of a first mapping of virtual processors to logical CPU cores. A set of performance indicators is received for the CPU core. Based on the set of performance indicators, a determination is made regarding whether to off-park the CPU core. If it is determined that the CPU core is to be off-parked, a second mapping of virtual processors to logical CPU cores is created, where the CPU core to be off-parked is not part of the second mapping. The second mapping is then implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter JIANG, Drew CROSS, Taylor Marie POTHAST, Bruce J.

Patent number: 9005540Abstract: Hollow conjugated polyelectrolyte (HCPE) microcapsules contain at least one conjugated polyelectrolyte and at least one other polyelectrolyte of complementary charge and the microcapsule has a hollow core. The conjugated polyelectrolyte is a polymer with a multiplicity of charged repeating units where a portion of the charged repeating units form a pi-conjugated sequence. The complementary polyelectrolyte is a polymer with a complementary charged repeating unit to the charged repeating units of the conjugated polyelectrolyte. The HCPE microcapsules can be formed by successively coating a sacrificial core with alternating layers of complementary polyelectrolytes, at least one of which is a conjugated polyelectrolyte. The sacrificial core can be removed to form the hollow center of a HCPE microcapsule.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignees: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., STC.UNMInventors: Kirk S.
