Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and products utilizing a cache coherent switch on chip. The cache coherent switch on chip may utilize Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect open standard and allow for multi-host access and the sharing of resources. The cache coherent switch on chip provides for resource sharing between components while independent of a system processor, removing the system processor as a bottleneck. Cache coherent switch on chip may further allow for cache coherency between various different components. Thus, for example, memories, accelerators, and/or other components within the disclose systems may each maintain caches, and the systems and techniques described herein allow for cache coherency between the different components of the system with minimal latency.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for deployment of container-based computer environments. In some implementations, one or more computers provide data for a user interface comprising one or more user interface elements for initiating creation of a new container-based server environment. The one or more computers receive data indicating user interaction with the one or more user interface elements, and in response, create a new container-based server environment comprising multiple different containers hosted by a remote cluster of processing nodes, the multiple different containers being configured to provide different services that interoperate with each other. The one or more computers provide access to the new container-based server environment.

In some implementations, a server environment is provided using a plurality of containers that provide instances of different software modules. The plurality of containers includes a first container running a first software image of a particular software module.

For example, execution is started for a second container that provides an instance of the updated software image. Incoming requests are to the second container while continuing to process, using the first container, one or more requests that were received before starting execution of the second container. In response to determining that a level of activity of the first container is below a threshold, the execution of the first container is stopped.

Abstract: A computing device executes a “night mode” for optimizing the device display's light emission for night-time use. The device stores a dimming filter and/or a color filter to achieve a desired brightness and color temperature of the display. The dimming filter is used to set a display backlight level and to “dim” the display data itself via alpha blending of the screen image with a grey mask. The computing device can blend the image with the grey mask in order to dim the display below system minimums. The color filter is alpha blended with each pixel in the image to reduce the luminance of blue light until the luminance is lower than that of another color of the emitted light. The proper dimming and color filters may be selected according to a desired screen brightness obtained from user input and/or from ambient light sensor data.
