| 20080285596 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FINE-GRAINED, END-TO-END TRAFFIC SCHEDULING ACROSS HETEROGENEOUS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS - A system and method for fine-grained, end-to-end traffic scheduling across heterogeneous local area networks (LANs). A system may include a network, where the network comprises multiple heterogeneous network, technologies. The system also may include at least two devices coupled to the network, where clocks of the at least two devices are synchronized. The system also may include a scheduler coupled to the network, where the scheduler creates a network wide data traffic schedule and where the data traffic schedule determines when each of the at least two devices can send data into the network. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090077141 | Aggregation of file/directory structures - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method that includes maintaining a superset of data available to a client having non volatile memory (NVM) on a distant hard drive. A subset of the data is maintained in the NVM on the client. The client controls the data maintained on the distant hard drive and the data maintained in the NVM. A single merged directory/file structure is generated from a directory/file structure of the superset and a directory/file structure of the subset. The directory/file structures overlap and the single merged directory/file structure merges the overlapping directory/file structures so only the directory/file structure of the subset is presented for the overlap. The single merged directory/file structure is presented to a user of the client and applications running thereon. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090168935 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SYNCHRONIZING NETWORKED AUDIO DEVICES - A method includes determining a network counter value indicative of a network clock time of a system at a first time instant and a second time instant occurring later in time than the first time instant. The method further includes determining an audio counter value indicative of an audio clock time of the system at a third time instant occurring the first and second time instants and a fourth time instant occurring later in time than the second time instant. The method further includes determining an offset based upon the determined network counter values and the audio counter values. The method further includes adjusting the audio clock time based upon the determined offset to synchronize operation of at least one audio component operating according to the audio clock with at least one audio component operating according to the network clock. An associated system is also disclosed. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090241179 | Enabling peripheral communication in a local area network - In one embodiment, the present invention includes a component to be coupled to a peripheral device to enable the peripheral device to appear to be locally connected to a computer of a local area network, although the peripheral device is not physically connected to the computer. The component may include a first set of registers to store a mirrored copy of control register information present in a second set of registers of a host controller interface of the computer. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090327683 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ACCELERATE ACCESS TO NETWORK DATA USING A NETWORKING UNIT ACCESSIBLE NON-VOLATILE STORAGE - In some embodiments, the invention involves a network controller having a pattern matching unit to identify whether boot file requested from a network accessible storage device for booting are stored locally in non-volatile memory accessible to the network controller. When required boot files are stored locally, the locally stored files are sent to the processor to boot the operating system. In an embodiment, retrieved boot files are automatically cached by the network controller in the accessible non-volatile memory. In other embodiments, a service operates to ensure coherency between locally store boot files and the boot filed stored on the network accessible storage. In another embodiment, data other than boot files may be stored and retrieved from the non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100174830 | SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE SYSTEM CLOCKS - Techniques are disclosed for synchronizing multiple clock sources of a system, and may include: determining time of a first clock at a first and second time instants; determining time of a second clock at a third time instant occurring between the first and second time instants, and a fourth time instant occurring after the second time instant; and determining a clock offset between the first and second clocks based on the determined times. The first and/or second clocks may be adjusted based on the clock offset to synchronize clock operation. This adjusting can be used, for instance, to synchronize operation of an audio and/or video component operating according to the first clock with an audio and/or video component operating according to the second clock. The techniques may further include determining if the clock offset is valid (e.g., based on detection of perturbing events or difference between a clock's times). | 07-08-2010 |

| 20090172433 | Powering on devices via intermediate computing device - Methods and apparatus relating to powering on devices via an intermediate computing device are described. In an embodiment, a request for data by a first device may be detected at a second device. The second device may determine a third device that stores the requested data and cause it to be turned on if the third device is in a reduced power consumption state. Other embodiments are also disclosed. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100011167 | Heterogeneous processors sharing a common cache - A multi-core processor providing heterogeneous processor cores and a shared cache is presented. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100125645 | PROVIDING AGGREGATED DIRECTORY STRUCTURE - In an embodiment, circuitry residing, at least in part, at a first network node may initiate, at least in part, replicating, at least in part, at the first node of a file space at a second network node, may detect, at least in part, modification at the second node of the file space, and may initiate, at least in part, corresponding modification at the first node of a replication of the file space. The circuitry also may generate, at least in part, an aggregated directory structure including, at least in part, the file space and another file space resident, at least in part, remotely from the second node. The directory structure may be provided, at least in part, to the second node prior, at least in part, to completion of the replicating, at least in part, at the first node of the file space. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100250834 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO PERFORM CACHING BASED ON FILE-LEVEL HEURISTICS - A method and system to perform caching based at least on one or more file-level heuristics. The caching of a storage medium in a caching device is performed by a cache policy engine. The cache policy engine receives file-level information of input/output access of data of the storage medium and caches or evicts the data of the storage medium in the caching device based on the received file-level information. By utilizing information about the files and file operations associated with the disk sectors or logical block addresses of the storage medium, the cache policy engine can make a better decision on the data selection of the storage medium to be cached in or evicted from the caching device in one embodiment of the invention. Higher cache hit rates can be achieved and the performance of the system utilizing the cache policy engine is improved. | 09-30-2010 |
