Abstract: This disclosure describes a video room system that can efficiently and flexibly generate and facilitate video rooms for video chatting between participant devices by prioritizing video streams to provide to participant devices based on performance parameters. For example, the video room system can provide different video room streams to different participant devices based on the performance parameters of the participant devices. In addition, the video room system can customize or tailor video room streams based on identifying dominant speaker devices, determining connections between participant devices as indicated by a social graph of a social networking system, and/or based on join methods utilized by participant devices to join a video room.

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 method, a mobile device obtains a signal indicating an acceleration measured by a sensor over a time period. The mobile device determines an impact experienced by the user based on the signal. The mobile device also determines, based on the signal, one or more first motion characteristics of the user during a time prior to the impact, and one or more second motion characteristics of the user during a time after the impact. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the impact, the one or more first motion characteristics of the user, and the one or more second motion characteristics of the user, and in response, generates a notification indicating that the user has fallen.

Abstract: Scheduling one or more users via potential calendars is presented. In preparing a potential schedule request, one or more potential time slots in which the to-be scheduled event may be held are identified. The potential schedule is sent to the scheduled users and the potential time slots for the potential schedule event are added to the users' calendars. In response to clarifying information, one or more potential time slots of the potential schedule request may be removed from consideration for the potential schedule event. A selection is made regarding a potential time slot for the potential schedule event and the potential schedule event is promoted to the explicit calendars of the scheduled users to be held at the selected potential time slot. In promoting the potential schedule event to the explicit calendars, the potential event is removed from the potential calendars, including any remaining potential time slots.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for processing virtual graphics processor telemetry data based on quanta.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for balancing power between discrete components, such as processing units (e.g., CPUs) and accelerators in a compute node or platform. Power consumption of the compute platform is monitored to detect for conditions under which a threshold (e.g., power supply capacity threshold) is exceeded. In response, the operating frequencies of a processing unit and/or other platform components such as accelerators, are adjusted to reduce the power consumption of the platform to return below the threshold. Power limit biasing hints (scaling weights) are provided to platform components, along with a power violation index, which are used to adjust the operating frequencies of the platform components. Optionally, a processing unit can calculate the power violation index and the scaling weights and directly control the frequencies of itself and platform components. Embodiments of multi-socket platforms are also provided.
