Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for using Zero Configuration Networking (ZeroConf) to automate the discovery of the Internet Protocol (IP) network address of a remote access controller (RAC). A RAC service associated with a networking device is registered programmatically or as a result of receiving user input to a command line interface. Available services that include the registered RAC service are browsed, followed by resolving the registered RAC service to an IP address, which is then discovered. The discovered IP address is then displayed within a user interface (UI) window.

Abstract: Embodiments related to a cache memory that supports tagless addressing are disclosed. Some embodiments receive a request to perform a memory access, wherein the request includes a virtual address. In response, the system performs an address-translation operation, which translates the virtual address into both a physical address and a cache address. Next, the system uses the physical address to access one or more levels of physically addressed cache memory, wherein accessing a given level of physically addressed cache memory involves performing a tag-checking operation based on the physical address. If the access to the one or more levels of physically addressed cache memory fails to hit on a cache line for the memory access, the system uses the cache address to directly index a cache memory, wherein directly indexing the cache memory does not involve performing a tag-checking operation and eliminates the tag storage overhead.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for invoking Input/Output (I/O) threads on processors to demote tracks from a cache. An Input/Output (I/O) thread, executed by a processor, processes I/O requests directed to tracks in the storage by accessing the tracks in the cache. After processing at least one I/O request, the I/O thread determines whether a number of free cache segments in the cache is below a free cache segment threshold. The I/O thread processes a demote ready list, indicating tracks eligible to demote from the cache, to demote tracks from the cache in response to determining that the number of free cache segments is below the free cache segment threshold. The I/O thread continues to process I/O requests directed to tracks from the storage stored in the cache after processing the demote ready list to demote tracks in the cache.

In response to the activate reset command completing, second notifications are sent to each I/O enclosure management engine that code activation for the first set of I/O enclosures has completed.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system identifies correct structured reading-order sequence of text segments that are extracted from a file structured in a portable document format. A probabilistic language model is generated from a large text corpus to comprise observed word sequence patterns for a given language. The language model measures whether splicing together a first text segment with another continuation text segment results in a phrase that is more likely than a phrase resulting from splicing together the first text segment with other continuation text segments. Sets of text segments are provided to the probabilistic model, where the sets of text segments comprise a first set including the first text segment and a first continuation text segment. A second set includes the first text segment and a second continuation text segment. A score is obtained for each set of text segments. The score is indicative of a likelihood of the set providing a correct structured reading-order sequence.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for suggesting and inserting automated assistants in a graphical user interface for managing communication sessions. A system for suggesting an automated assistant generates a first vector describing a current context of a current communication session, and generates a comparison of the first vector and a second vector associated with a past context of an automated assistant in a past communication session. Then, if the comparison exceeds a similarity threshold, the system suggests the automated assistant to at least one user in the current communication session. Optionally, the system can predictively insert the automated assistant in a communication session if the comparison exceeds a similarity threshold. The graphical user interface for managing communication sessions displays automated assistants in a same manner as human participants.
