Abstract: Methods and systems for managing network resources enabling network services over a network and for managing maintenance of network resources. The method comprises determining a desired performance level for the network services, the desired performance level being associated with service metrics that establish compliance with a service level agreement; accessing internal data relating to operations of the network and external data not relating to operations of the network; generating a prediction of a network service pattern based on the desired performance level of the network services, the internal data and the external data; identifying a decision scenario for orchestration of the network resources, the decision scenario establishing a configuration of the network resources, the decision scenario being generated based on a correlation of the prediction of the network service pattern and availability of the network resources; and causing to adapt the network resources based on the decision scenario.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for using graphics instructions and state information received from a graphics device to visually create a graphics image. Performance analysis may also be conducted to identify potential bottlenecks during instruction execution on the graphics device. One example device includes a display device and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to receive a plurality of graphics instructions from an external graphics device, wherein the graphics instructions are executed by the external graphics device to display a graphics image, and to receive state information from the external graphics device, wherein the state information is associated with execution of the graphics instructions on the external graphics device. The one or more processors are further configured to display, on the display device, a representation of the graphics image according to the graphics instructions and the state information.

Abstract: Resource management techniques in multi-processor systems are described. Embodiments include a multi-processor system having a primary processor for communication with pipelined secondary processors. The secondary processors include registers containing status information for tasks executed by the respective secondary processors. The primary processor is provided with direct access to contents of the registers and manages computational and memory resources of the multi-processor system based on the acquired status information.

Abstract: A method for communicating instructions to slave processors in a multi-processor system having a master processor and pipelined slave processors controlled by the master processor is described. The method uses a pass-through command having (i) a header block coded using a computer language understood by the slave processors and (ii) a payload block including instructions coded in a computer language understood by a destined slave processor. The pass-through command is transmitted to an outermost slave processor and then forwarded, without recoding, by intermediate downstream slave processors until the command reaches the destined slave processor. In one application, the method is used in a system adapted for processing video data or rendering graphics.
