A system is dynamically configured according to a state of a device connected to a network. An electronic device includes a device information management unit, an acquisition unit, a detection unit, and a device cooperative processing unit. The device information management unit manages device information related to a different device connected through a network. An acquisition unit acquires surrounding information. A detection unit detects generation of a specific event on the basis of the acquired surrounding information. In a case where a function necessary for processing the surrounding information in response to detection of the specific event is not included in itself, the device cooperative processing unit selects a device including the function from the different device on the basis of the device information and gives a request for proxy of the processing thereto through the network.

Presently disclosed are systems and methods for generating customized filtered-and-partitioned market-data feeds. In an embodiment, an output-feed profile is maintained in data storage at a market-data-processing device (MDPD). The output-feed profile specifies a subset of ticker symbols and a ticker-symbol-based feed-partitioning scheme. An input feed of order-book updates to ticker symbols is received at the MDPD from an upstream device. At the MDPD, a customized market-data output feed is generated according to the maintained output-feed profile at least in part by filtering the input feed down to the order-book updates to ticker symbols in the specified subset and partitioning the filtered feed according to the specified ticker-symbol-based feed-partitioning scheme. The customized market-data output feed is transmitted from the MDPD to a downstream device.

Example approaches for processing task deployment in adapter devices and accelerators, are described. In an example, a service request is received by an adapter device. The service request is indicative of a service associated with a virtual multi-layer network switch. An accelerator may be integrated to the adapter device or coupled to the adapter device. A set of processing tasks associated with the service is identified based on the service request. A processing task instance corresponding to at least one of the set of processing tasks is deployed in one of the adapter device and the accelerator, based on predefined configuration information. The predefined configuration information includes policies for executing each of the set processing tasks in one of the adapter device and the accelerator.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a host controller to couple to an interconnect to which a plurality of devices may be coupled. The host controller may include: a first driver to drive first information onto a first line of the interconnect; a second driver to drive a clock signal onto a second line of the interconnect; and a mode control circuit to cause the second driver to drive the clock signal onto the second line of the interconnect in a first mode and to cause the first driver and the second driver to drive differential information onto the first line and the second line of the interconnect in a second mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A docking station includes a network interface controller (NIC), a dock-side controller and a dock-side connector interface. The NIC is configured to transmit one or more management component transport protocol (MCTP) packets via a system management bus (SMbus). The dock-side controller is electrically coupled to the SMbus, and configured to encode the one or more MCTP packets to one or more vendor specific protocol (VSP) packets. The dock-side connector interface is electrically coupled to the dock-side controller, and configured to transmit the one or more VSP packets to an electrical device to control a basic input output system (BIOS) of the electrical device on the condition that the electrical device is connected to the docking station via the dock-side connector interface.

Methods, systems, and devices supporting switchable lane directions between a host system and a memory system are described. A host system may communicate with a memory system using a set of lanes, where each lane may send information (e.g., commands, operations, data) in a specific direction. In some cases, the host system and memory system may support one or more switchable lanes, where both systems include transmit and receive modules for the lane. According to a bandwidth condition associated with a specific direction satisfying a threshold for reconfiguring a lane, the host system and the memory system may switch a direction configured for a lane. Switching the lane direction may increase the supported bandwidth in a specific direction, for example, from the host system to the memory system (e.g., in a “write optimized” configuration) or from the memory system to the host system (e.g., in a “read optimized” configuration).

There is provided a communication apparatus comprising a connector that includes a plurality of signal lines and connects to an external recording device. The control unit performs control to determine whether a second signal has been input before a predetermined time period elapses since a first signal was output to the external recording device, the second signal indicating that the external recording device is compatible with a second transfer mode. In a case where it is determined that the second signal has been input, the control unit performs control to perform communication in the second transfer mode.

A gas meter control system is adapted for use in gas meters having a plurality of different sizes (e.g., ability to measure different flowrates and/or different gas volumes per billing cycle) and different functional capabilities. In an example, the gas meter control system is configured to recognize and identify a metrology unit, sensor(s), switch(es), valve(s), valve motor(s), and/or other device(s) within a gas meter. Having identified devices present within a gas-environment and an air-environment of the meter, the control system selects and executes appropriate software to operate the identified devices. Addition of an additional component to the meter (e.g., an earthquake sensor or a tamper sensor) results in identification of the added component and execution of appropriate control software. Accordingly, the gas meter control system replaces a number of control systems configured to operate a single specific meter and/or configuration.

The present invention provides a DP-out adapter including a decoder, a clock signal generating circuit, a DP signal generating circuit and a symbol counter value comparator. The decoder is configured to decode a USB signal to generate a plurality of packets. The clock signal generating circuit is configured to generate a clock signal. The DP signal generating circuit is configured to generate a DP signal according to the packets, and output the DP signal according to the clock signal. The symbol counter value comparator is configured to generate a first counter value according to a number of symbols corresponding to the plurality of packets, and use the clock signal to count to obtain a second counter value, and compare the first counter value and the second counter value to generate a control signal to the clock signal generating circuit to adjust a frequency of the clock signal.

A system and method for efficient data transfer in a computing system are described. A computing system includes multiple nodes that receive tasks to process. A bridge interconnect transfers data between two processing nodes without the aid of a system bus on the motherboard. One of the multiple bridge interconnects of the computing system is an optical bridge interconnect that transmits optical information across the optical bridge interconnect between two nodes. The receiving node uses photonic integrated circuits to translate the optical information into electrical information for processing by electrical integrated circuits. One or more nodes switch between using an optical bridge interconnect and a non-optical bridge interconnect based on one or more factors such as measured power consumption and measured data transmission error rates.
