Abstract: Hierarchical Power Management (HPM) architecture considers the limits of scaling on a power management controller, the autonomy at each die, and provides a unified view of the package to a platform. At a simplest level, HPM architecture has a supervisor and one or more supervisee power management units (PMUs) that communicate via at least two different communication fabrics. Each PMU can behave as a supervisor for a number of supervisee PMUs in a particular domain. HPM addresses these needs for products that comprise a collection of dice with varying levels of power and thermal management capabilities and needs. HPM serves as a unified mechanism than can span collection of dice of varying capability and function, which together form a traditional system-on-chip (SoC). HPM provides a basis for managing power and thermals across a diverse set of dice.

Abstract: In an example, a system includes a first cloud exchange network for a first cloud exchange, the first cloud exchange network located within a first data center and configured with a first dedicated virtual gateway, the first dedicated virtual gateway configured to interface with a first virtual connector to a customer network, with a second virtual connector to a first cloud service provider (CSP) network, and with a third virtual connector to a second CSP network. Network traffic among the customer network, the first CSP network, and the second CSP network is routed through the first dedicated virtual gateway. The first dedicated virtual gateway dynamically polices the network traffic based on an aggregate bandwidth subscription configured in the first cloud exchange network that limits a total bandwidth that may be used over the first cloud exchange network between the customer network, the first CSP network, and the second CSP network.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a confocal imaging system for imaging a specimen. The system comprises a light source, a light deflector capable of positioning a beam of light produced by the light source at one of a series of predetermined points on the specimen, an addressable spatial filter capable of selectively filtering light from the specimen, and a central processing unit capable of providing selective position control to the light deflector and the addressable spatial filter.
