Abstract: An application determines conditions of the network between a sender host and a receiver host. The application determines, from the conditions, a length of pause to apply. The application transmits the traffic until the length of pause is completely applied to the network using a series of quantized pauses. When the length of pause exceeds a threshold, the application instructs the sender host to pause the traffic for a first amount of time, and where the length of pause does not exceed the threshold, the application instructs the sender host to pause the traffic for a second smaller amount of time. The application detects a new set of conditions of the network between the first node and the second node, and applies a new series of quantized pauses to transmission of the traffic based on a new length of pause determined from the new set of conditions.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement includes an array of switches that represent a Boolean satisfiability expression that has a plurality of clauses each defined by a combination of Boolean variables Xi or ¬Xi, a first plane, and a constraints network operatively arranged with the first plane. The constraints network enforces each of the clauses such that values of different ones of the variables continue to randomly or pseudo randomly flip until the values of the variables Xi and ¬Xi stop changing or a predetermined condition occurs.

Abstract: A regular buffer and a shadow buffer are maintained at a receiver host. Responsive to receiving a data flow from a sender host that is clock-synchronized with the receiver host using a common reference clock, a first indication of data of the data flow is stored to the regular buffer, the shadow buffer is transitioned from an idle state to an active state, and a counter of the shadow buffer is incremented that indicates a unit of data traffic received. A dynamic drain rate is determined based on a number of units of the data removed from the regular buffer per unit of time while the shadow buffer is in the active state, where the shadow buffer reverts to an idle state responsive to a break in the receiver host receiving the data flow. Dwell time is calculated as a function of the counter of the shadow buffer and the dynamic drain rate, and a congestion signal for the data flow is determined based on the dwell time.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a Fe—Al-based metal porous membrane and a preparation method thereof, which relate to the technical field of industrial gas-solid and liquid-solid separation and purification, and mainly address problems in the prior art, such as cracking-prone and peeling of a membrane layer of an existing Fe—Al-based metal porous membrane during its preparation and use.
