Described embodiments may provide messages via websocket connections. A messaging system may maintain, on a first network, via the messaging system instances, a plurality of persistent websocket connections between each of a plurality of on-premise connectors and each messaging system instance. The messaging system may receive a message to be sent to an endpoint on a second network of an on-premise connector of the plurality of on-premise connectors. The messaging system may identify, via a registry associating on-premise connector endpoints to messaging instances, a messaging system instance of the plurality of messaging system instances via which to send the message to the endpoint. The messaging system instance may maintain the websocket connection to the on-premise connector in communication with the endpoint. The messaging system instance may transmit the message to the endpoint via the websocket connection to the on-premise connector.

Each NIC performs an aggregation calculation of data output from each processor in a normal order including a head NIC located at a head position of a first pipeline connection, an intermediate NIC located at an intermediate position, and a tail NIC located at a tail position, and when the aggregation calculation in the tail NIC is completed, each NIC starts distribution of an obtained aggregation result, distributes the aggregation result in a reverse order including the tail NIC, the intermediate NIC, and the head NIC, and outputs the aggregation result to the processor of the communication interface.

Systems and methods for bookmarking prospective media content on computer network. In some implementations, a method includes: at a server system, obtaining, from a electronic device, information corresponding to a media content item; identifying the media content item, from among a plurality of media content items, in accordance with the information; creating a provisional bookmark corresponding to a first URL where the media content item is not yet available but is likely to be available within a predefined time period; and transmitting the provisional bookmark to the electronic device. The method optionally includes: after creating the provisional bookmark, in accordance with a determination that the media content item has become available at the first URL, before the predefined time period: converting the provisional bookmark into a non-provisional bookmark.

Methods and systems for a networked computing system are provided. One method includes generating a first proxy endpoint by a non-transparent bridge (NTB) of a first pluggable compute module and a second proxy endpoint at a second pluggable module having a second NTB, based on a user defined topology; establishing a transaction layer packet (TLP) tunnel between the first proxy endpoint and the second proxy endpoint for peer to peer communication using a first stub endpoint of the first NTB and a second stub endpoint of the second NTB; and de-allocating the first proxy endpoint and the second proxy endpoint, when the topology is deactivated such that the first pluggable compute module and the second pluggable module are available for another user defined topology.

One embodiment provides a system that facilitates dynamic adjustment of forwarding information in a CCN. During operation, the system receives, by forwarding circuitry, an interest with a name that is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier which comprises contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level. The system identifies in a first data structure an entry for one or more name components of the name, wherein the entry includes a list of outgoing interfaces associated with the one or more name components. The system determines network properties in response to forwarding the interest to a first interface of the list. The system reorders the list in order of priority based on the network properties, thereby facilitating the forwarding circuitry to dynamically adjust a likelihood of using a respective interface for forwarding interests associated with the one or more name components.

Various embodiments facilitate location-aware distributed competitions. In one embodiment, a system facilitates a distributed sporting event that includes multiple players traveling over non-uniform courses that are remote from one another. The system includes a manager that receives state information, such as location information, from client devices used by each of the players. The manager then transmits location information for each of the players to the client devices, which are each configured to present a graphical representation, such as a map annotated with the locations of each of the players. The system corrects for disparities between the non-uniform courses traveled by the players, for example by mapping a location on a course traveled by a first player to a location on a course traveled by a second player. Various mechanisms for establishing the mapping between non-uniform courses are also described.

A device may include a processor system and an array of data processing engines (DPEs) communicatively coupled to the processor system. Each of the DPEs includes a core and a DPE interconnect. The processor system is configured to transmit configuration data to the array of DPEs, and each of the DPEs is independently configurable based on the configuration data received at the respective DPE via the DPE interconnect of the respective DPE. The array of DPEs enable, without modifying operation of a first kernel of a first subset of the DPEs of the array of DPEs, reconfiguration of a second subset of the DPEs of the array of DPEs.

An apparatus and a corresponding method for processing a sequence of received data items are disclosed. The processing is performed by multiple processing elements. A reorder buffer comprising multiple slots is used to maintain the order of the received data items, wherein a processing element reserves a next available slot in the reorder buffer before beginning processing the next data item of the sequence of received data items. On completion of the processing a buffer change indicator value is read by the processing element when seeking to insert the processed data item into the reserved slot. If the buffer change indicator changes during the course of the insertion process, this serves as an indication to the processing element that another processing element is modifying the content of the reorder buffer in parallel. A check may be repeated for at least one subsequent already-processed data item, since this latter data item may have become ready to be retired from the reorder buffer.

A system and method to establish and maintain access between a secured network and a remote client device communicating with different security protocols. Once the system and method verify that the remote client device had the requisite credentials to access the secured network domain, the system and method are delegated to fetch a service ticket to one or more dedicated servers on behalf of remote client device. The system and method receives a service ticket from the dedicated server and forwards the service ticket to the remote client device to use the service.
