  • Patent number: 12001932
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for network function virtualization (NFV) server power management. A first RL model at a first layer is trained by adjusting a frequency of the core of processor while performing a workload to obtain a first trained RL model. The trained RL model is operated in an inference mode while training a second RL model at a second level in the RL hierarchy by adjusting a frequency of the core and a frequency of processor circuitry external to the core to obtain a second trained RL model. Training may be performed online or offline. The first and second RL models are operated in inference modes during online operations to adjust the frequency of the core and the frequency of the circuitry external to the core while executing software on the plurality of cores of to perform a workload, such as an NFV workload.

  • Publication number: 20190042331
    Abstract: Examples may include a method of power aware load balancing in a computing platform. The method includes computing a number of enabled worker cores to process an expected traffic of received packets. A number of active consumer queues is adjusted based at least in part on the number of enabled worker cores, with consumer queues being associated with worker cores. A worker core polls the consumer queue associated with the worker core, gets and processes a packet descriptor describing a received packet from the consumer queue based on the consumer queue being not empty, and enters a low power state when the consumer queue is empty and pends on a new packet descriptor being entered into the consumer queue.

  • Patent number: 8137563
    Abstract: The present invention relates a method of preparing agarose beads, which method results in a population of beads which are of relatively uniform particle size. In an advantageous embodiment, the beads are of a particle size less than 10 ?m, and the coefficient of variation C.V. of the population is less than 15%. The beads according to the invention are advantageously used in biological separation methods, such as in the production of chromatographic packing materials; drug carriers; or in any method of biological engineering.
