Systems, methods and devices are provided to improve management and accuracy of timestamps associated with sensor-based data. An indication is received of a sensor event associated with data samples provided from a sensor having an output data rate. A respective timestamp is assigned to each of the data samples. Assigning the respective timestamp may include, responsive to a determination that the indicated event is an interrupt event, calculating an actual data sampling interval based at least in part on time intervals between previous sensor events and a on a quantity of the one or more data samples. Assigning the respective timestamp may alternatively include, responsive to a determination that the event type is a data flush event, assigning the respective timestamp based on an actual data sampling interval associated with one or more previous sensor events if the actual data sampling interval has been previously stored, and otherwise assigning the respective timestamp based at least in part on the output data rate. Correction logic and drift compensation may be applied to the assigned respective timestamps.

The present disclosure relates to updating a firmware image on a coherent hardware accelerator concurrently with executing operations on the coherent hardware accelerator. According to one embodiment, while executing accelerator-enabled operations on the coherent hardware accelerator, a system stores a firmware update package in a local memory on the coherent hardware accelerator. Once the firmware update package is stored in local memory on the coherent hardware accelerator, the system restarting the coherent hardware accelerator by pausing the execution of at least a first operation initiated on the coherent hardware accelerator and applying the firmware update package to the firmware image on the coherent hardware accelerator. Once the firmware update package is applied to the coherent hardware accelerator, the system resumes the operation on the coherent hardware accelerator.

A computer system and a handling method thereof for an interrupt event are provided. The computer system includes an embedded controller, a system memory, and a processing unit. The embedded controller has an internal memory and triggers an interrupt event. The processing unit is coupled to the embedded controller and the system memory, and receives a notification of the interrupt event. In response to the interrupt event, the processing unit reads an event identifier corresponding to the interrupt event at a specific address section in the internal memory or maps the event identifier corresponding to the interrupt event at the specific address section in the internal memory of the embedded controller to the system memory. The processing unit notifies a hardware driver program corresponding to the event identifier. Accordingly, efficiency of handling the interrupt event is effectively enhanced.
