MASTER DEVICE, SLAVE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
A master device providing an image to a slave device providing a virtual reality service is provided. The master device includes: a content input configured to receive an input stereoscopic image; a communicator configured to perform communication with the slave device providing the virtual reality service; and a processor configured to determine a viewpoint region corresponding to a motion state of the corresponding slave device in the input stereoscopic image on the basis of motion information received from the slave device and control the communicator to transmit an image of the identified viewpoint region to the slave device.
DYNAMIC USER INTERACTIONS FOR DISPLAY CONTROL
The technology disclosed relates to using gestures to supplant or augment use of a standard input device coupled to a system. It also relates to controlling a display using gestures. It further relates to controlling a system using more than one input device. In particular, it relates to detecting a standard input device that causes on-screen actions on a display in response to control manipulations performed using the standard input device. Further, a library of analogous gestures is identified, which includes gestures that are analogous to the control manipulations and also cause the on-screen actions responsive to the control manipulations. Thus, when a gesture from the library of analogous gestures is detected, a signal is generated that mimics a standard signal from the standard input device and causes at least one on-screen action.
Systems and methods for emulating an environment created by the outputs of a plurality of devices
Systems and methods are disclosed for emulating an environment created by the outputs of a plurality of devices. The system receives device control data for a device in a first venue. The control of the outputs of said devices according to the device control data creates an environment within the first venue. The system retrieves profile data for devices within a second venue. The system associates a device in the second venue with a device from the first venue, both devices having a similar output type. The system then generates control information adapted from the associated device of the first venue for the device in the second venue. The system controls the outputs of each device in the second plurality of devices according to the generated control information to emulate the environment within the first venue in the second venue.
LOW LATENCY EFFICIENT SHARING OF RESOURCES IN MULTI-SERVER ECOSYSTEMS
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving by a network element a request from a network device connected to the network element to update a shared resource maintained by the network element; subsequent to the receipt, identifying a Base Address Register Resource Table (“BRT”) element assigned to a Peripheral Component Interconnect (“PCI”) adapter of the network element associated with the network device, wherein the BRT points to the shared resource; changing an attribute of the identified BRT from read-only to read/write to enable the identified BRT to be written by the network device; and notifying the network device that the attribute of the identified BRT has been changed, thereby enabling the network device to update the shared resource via a Base Address Register (“BAR”) comprising the identified BRT.
PCIE PERIPHERAL SHARING
A peripheral proxy subsystem is placed between multiple hosts, each having a root controller, and single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) peripheral devices that are to be shared. The peripheral proxy subsystem provides a root controller for coupling to the endpoint of the SR-IOV peripheral device or devices and multiple endpoints for coupling to the root controllers of the hosts. The peripheral proxy subsystem maps the virtual functions of an SR-IOV peripheral device to the multiple endpoints as desired to allow the virtual functions to be allocated to the hosts. The physical function of the SR-IOV peripheral device is managed by the peripheral proxy device to provide the desired number of virtual functions. The virtual functions of the SR-IOV peripheral device are then presented to the appropriate host as a physical function or a virtual function.
MULTIPLE PORT EMULATION
Multiple independent endpoint devices can be emulated using a single system on chip (SoC) device. Such a SoC can have multiple cores that can emulate ports according to a specified protocol, such as the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) protocol useful for data communications. An emulation agent can manage various aspects of these emulated endpoint devices in software, including serving interrupts for relevant emulated devices according to a determined priority scheme. Interrupts can be registered for each device, and data structures allocated dynamically for a determined number and type(s) of PCIe endpoint devices to be emulated. Each PCIe core on the SoC can function as a separate PCIe endpoint device endpoint for communicating with one or more hosts or other such devices.
RESOURCE RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM
In accordance with one disclosed method, a client device may be caused to present a user interface for an application, the user interface enabling selective access to a plurality of resources via the client device. A state of a peripheral device that is connectable to the client device may be determined and, based at least in part on the state of the peripheral device, at least a first resource, from among the plurality of resources, may be identified with which the peripheral device can interact. Based at least in part on the identifying of the first resource, the user interface may be caused to include at least a first selectable user interface element that, when selected, causes the client device to access to the first resource so as to enable the peripheral device to interact with the first resource.
Weighted resource cost matrix scheduler
A scheduler for a storage node uses multi-dimensional weighted resource cost matrices to schedule processing of IOs. A separate matrix is created for each computing node of the storage node via machine learning or regression analysis. Each matrix includes distinct dimensions for each emulation of the computing node for which the matrix is created. Each dimension includes modeled costs in terms of amounts of resources of various types required to process an IO of various IO types. An IO received from a host by a computing node is not scheduled for processing by that computing node unless enough resources are available at each emulation of that computing node. If enough resources are unavailable at an emulation, then the IO is forwarded to a different computing node that has enough resources at each of its emulations. A weighted resource cost for processing the IO is calculated and used to determine scheduling priority. The weights or regression coefficients from the model may be used to calculate weighted resource cost.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODULAR MANAGEMENT GATEWAY APPARATUS
The present disclosure relates to a modular management gateway apparatus for providing keyboard, video and mouse communications with a target device in communication with the apparatus. The apparatus may have a housing with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) housed within the housing. An uplink port is included to enable communication between a user operated device and the apparatus via a network. A memory is used for containing a software module for carrying out at least one operating feature of the apparatus. A video compression hardware and software subsystem is used for providing 4K video transfer between the apparatus and the target device. A USB-C enables video signals and serial data to be communicated between the apparatus and the target device.
Virtual switch scaling for networking applications
Examples include a method of switching a packet by a virtual switch by receiving a system call to transmit a packet from a first application running in a first container on a first core, determining a destination for the packet, obtaining a buffer in an application memory space of the destination, copying the packet to the destination application memory space, and writing an entry for the packet to a queue assigned to the destination, the destination queue being in a queue manager. The packet may then be obtained by an entity at the destination.
