Abstract: An electronic block includes multiple independent Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) and a switch matrix. Each PLL has an input path and an output path. The switch matrix is operable to concurrently connect a respective signal on the output path of each PLL to the input path of another PLL. In an embodiment, each of the respective signals on the output paths is a corresponding frequency-correction signal generated by a low-pass filter (LPF) in the corresponding PLL. In an embodiment, each PLL includes a frequency-correction signal combiner to combine the frequency-correction signals received from any of the other PLLs with its own frequency-correction signal to form a combined frequency-correction signal. The combined frequency-correction signal is provided to a controlled oscillator in the PLL to generate an output clock of the PLL based on the combined frequency-correction signal. The frequency-correction signals may be analog or digital signals.

Abstract: During a software development lifecycle of a software application, application library versions are modified and multiple versions are built and packaged to be installed on different computing systems. An intelligent prediction and capture of runtime errors that may be encountered during a runtime of a software application provides a system-agnostic intelligent software code compiler/build system that intelligently identifies runtime errors at a build stage using artificial intelligence (AI) and automatically encapsulates specific software code to auto-heal runtime exceptions caused by updates to library files. The system may optionally also output a solution to the runtime error to the graphical user interface (GUI) of a software developer capable of performing another software application build.

Abstract: A system is provided for generation of substitutable configuration of secure distributed register tokens. In particular, the system may generate, on a distributed register, a secure token with a built-in source code function for triggering a substitution of the secure token with one or more substitute tokens upon the occurrence of a specific condition. The function may pull one or more values associated with the secure token (e.g., from an oracle) and generate the one or more substitute tokens based on the one or more values. Once the substitute tokens are generated, the substitute tokens may be used to replace the secure token on the distributed register.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes analyzing application details associated with a plurality of different timestamp intervals, in response to a determination, from results of analyzing runtime information associated with an application failure event and/or sub-par runtime performance that occurs during a first operational run cycle of an application, that the failure event and/or sub-par runtime performance is caused by a Non-Functional Requirement (NFR) issue. In response to a determination that a first of the timestamp intervals falls within a timestamp associated with the application failure event and/or sub-par runtime performance, first pattern information about the application details associated with the first timestamp interval is collected. The method further includes applying the first pattern information to a weightage algorithm.

Abstract: Various aspects for managing data blocks in a storage system are provided. For instance, a method may include storing, in a buffer memory, a plurality of comparison blocks, initiating a data deduplication process utilizing the plurality of comparison blocks, and performing garbage collection in conjunction with the data deduplication process. Garbage collection may include maintaining a hit count for comparison blocks of a passive set of comparison blocks in the buffer memory and deleting the passive set from the buffer memory when the hit count is decremented to a predetermined value. The hit count may be incremented and decremented based on utilization of a comparison block in the data deduplication process.

Abstract: A sequence of contiguous pages in an erase block in a non-volatile memory device is programmed and erased. Next, all of the pages in the erase block are programmed with data. Then, the data is read back and verified to determine whether there is an error in the data. When there is an error in the data, then the last page in the sequence is identified as being unstable. If there is no error in the data, then the last page in that sequence is identified as being stable. Thus, the recorded information identifies a point of instability in the erase block. Instabilities can be stabilized by performing additional writes to fill the partially filled word line.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a client device obtains a list of client devices registered in association with a particular client application, and then detects listed client device(s) as proximate via a local communications interface. One of the proximate client devices is identified as responsible for sending an aggregated registration request message for renewing their respective application registrations with a server. In another embodiment, the server receives a registration message for the client application from a client device and detects that at least one other registered client device for that client application is proximate to the requesting client device. The server attempts to preemptively renew the registrations for both the requesting client device and the at least one other registered client device based on the proximity detection.

Abstract: One or more devices may receive a service request. The service request may be associated with providing a network service to a service location and may be associated with a service provider network. The one or more devices may create a virtual network function (VNF), associated with providing the network service, based on the service request. The VNF may be created such that the VNF is hosted by the device, and may be configured to provide the network service. The one or more devices may insert the VNF into the service provider network. The VNF may be inserted to interact with a physical device of the service provider network to allow the network service to be provided to the service location.
