Patent number: 12105583Abstract: A fault recovery system includes various fault management circuits that form a hierarchical structure. One fault management circuit detects a fault in a functional circuit and executes a recovery operation to recover the functional circuit from the fault.

Patent number: 11724185Abstract: A method is disclosed for requesting data in a cloud gaming system that includes a cloud storage system and a cloud compute system, each of which has a respective peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) interface and a respective computer memory. The cloud gaming system includes a PCIe switch connected to both the PCIe interface of the cloud storage system and the PCIe interface of the cloud compute system. The PCIe switch exposes a doorbell register that is monitored by the cloud storage system. The cloud compute system writes to the doorbell register, which causes an interrupt to fire on the cloud storage system. The cloud storage system handles the interrupt, which directs the cloud storage system to read a message from a specified computer memory location. The message directs the cloud storage system to read requested data from a storage device accessible by the cloud storage system.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment LLCInventor: Roelof Roderick Colenbrander

Patent number: 11720438Abstract: A system, method and apparatus to record data relevant to hardware errors identified by microprocessors. For example, in response to a hardware error, a microprocessor can store first data about the error in registers in the microprocessor and start to execute instructions configured in firmware and/or in an operating system. Execution of the instructions in response to the hardware error causes the microprocessor to: generating second data about the error based at least in part on the first data in the registers; and store the second data at a location not affected by restarting execution of an operating system in the processor. For example, the execution of the instructions can cause the microprocessor to decode the first data to obtain a temperature of the computing device as part of the second data.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Da Hong, Kexian Huang, Qing Xu

Patent number: 11715127Abstract: A method and digital signage player for managing display of a distributed digital signage content. The digital signage player stores the distributed digital signage content, and a local placement target for the distributed digital signage content. The digital signage player displays the distributed digital signage content in accordance with the local placement target. The digital signage player exchanges messages with a neighbor digital signage player, for increasing the local placement target of the distributed digital signage content at the request of the neighbor digital signage player. The neighbor digital signage player also displays the distributed digital signage content in accordance with its own placement target, which needs to be decreased. The digital signage player ultimately increases the local placement target of the distributed digital signage content based on the messages exchanged with the neighbor digital signage player.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: BROADSIGN SERV INC.Inventor: Bryan Mongeau
