20090210710 | SECURITY AUTHENTICATION AND KEY MANAGEMENT WITHIN AN INFRASTRUCTURE-BASED WIRELESS MULTI-HOP NETWORK - A system and method of security authentication and key management scheme in a multi-hop wireless network is provided herein with a hop-by-hop security model. The scheme adapts the 802.11r key hierarchy into the meshed AP network. In this approach, a top key holder (R0KH) derives and holds the top Pairwise Master Key (PMK_0) for each supplicant wireless device after the authentication process. All authenticator AP take the level one key holder (R1KH) role and receive the next level Pairwise Master Key (PMK_1) from R0KH. The link level data protection key is derived from PMK_1 via the 802.11i 4-way handshaking. | 08-20-2009 |

20110022868 | Systems and Methods for Managing Power Consumption and Performance of a Processor - Processor-management techniques that purposely alternate a processor between an operating state and a non-operating state while the processor is executing the workload. The techniques leverage the “ultra-low-power” non-operating states of many processors to provide predictable power and/or frequency control of the processor. These techniques can provide better performance than known clock-throttling and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling schemes for controlling processors. | 01-27-2011 |
20120084580 | Power Budget Allocation in Multi-Processor Systems - Systems, apparatuses, methods, and software that implement power budget allocation optimization algorithms in multi-processor systems, such as server farms. The algorithms are derived from a queuing theoretic model that minimizes the mean response time of the system to the jobs in the workload while accounting for a variety of factors. These factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, the type of power (frequency) scaling mechanism(s) available within the processors in the system, the power-to-frequency relationship(s) of the processors for the scaling mechanism(s) available, whether or not the system is an open or closed loop system, the arrival rate of jobs incoming into the system, the number of jobs within the system, and the type of workload being processed. | 04-05-2012 |
20120254444 | DYNAMIC CAPACITY MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPLE PARALLEL-CONNECTED COMPUTING RESOURCES - A dynamic capacity management policy for multi-paralleled computing resources (e.g., application servers, virtual application servers, etc.) that includes one or more of a state-change component, a load-balancing component, and a robustness-control component. The state-change component delays the release (e.g., powering down of a physical server, removal from a virtual-server lease, etc.) of each computing resource for a set amount of time. The load-balancing component can work in conjunction with the state-change component to reduce the number of idle computing resources by distributing incoming requests in a manner that keeps the already-processing computing resources as full of requests as possible. The robustness-control component scales capacity as a function of the current number of requests within the system of computing resources to account for variations other than request rate, such as request size, reduced processor frequency, network slowdowns, etc., that affect processing capacity. | 10-04-2012 |
