  • Patent number: 10261813
    Abstract: A data processing system comprising an accelerator that acts as a common shared resource for plural applications executing in respective virtual machines. The data processing system includes an interface mapping unit that facilitates the submission of tasks from applications to the accelerator. The interface mapping unit includes physical registers that act as physical register input/output interfaces for the accelerator. The interface mapping unit exposes a plurality of virtual accelerator input/output interfaces to the applications that are then dynamically mapped to the physical register input/output interfaces by the interface mapping unit to allow applications to access, and thereby submit a task to, a given physical register input/output interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150089495
    Abstract: A data processing system 20 comprising an accelerator 12 that acts as a common shared resource for plural applications 3 executing in respective virtual machines 4, 5. The data processing system 20 includes an interface mapping unit 21 that facilitates the submission of tasks from applications to the accelerator 12. The interface mapping unit 21 includes physical registers 8 that act as physical register input/output interfaces for the accelerator 12. The interface mapping unit 21 exposes a plurality of virtual accelerator input/output interfaces 22 to the applications 3 that are then dynamically mapped to the physical register input/output interfaces 8 by the interface mapping unit 21 to allow applications to access, and thereby submit a task to, a given physical register input/output interface 8.

  • Patent number: 8384539
    Abstract: Methods for responding to a potential incident are provided in which data about the potential incident is received from a first remote sensing unit. Additional remote sensing units are identified that may have additional data about the potential incident, and additional data about the potential incident is received from at least some of these additional remote sensing units. The totality of the received data is then analyzed, and at least one remote entity is automatically notified regarding the occurrence of the potential incident.
