A system and method for controlling the dissemination of Routing packets, and decreasing the latency in finding routes between nodes. The system and method provides message exchanges between wireless devices to determine optimized communication routes with a minimum of overhead messages and buffered data. Exchanged messages are reduced to a specific series of exchanges indicating destination, destination node detection, and route, preferably using a series of IAP devices. Routes are discovered in an efficient manner and latency in finding routes between nodes is reduced, thereby reducing buffered information levels at individual devices.

A system, method and apparatus is provided that splits a microprocessor load instruction into two (2) parts, a speculative load instruction and a check speculative load instruction. The speculative load instruction can be moved ahead in the instruction stream by the compiler as soon as the address and result registers are available. This is true even when the data to be loaded is not actually required. This speculative load instruction will not cause a fault in the memory if the access is invalid, i.e. the load misses and a token bit is set. The check speculative load instruction will cause the speculative load instruction to be retried in the event the token bit was set equal to one. In this manner, the latency associated with branching to an interrupt routine will be eliminated a significant amount of the time. It is very possible that the reasons for invalidating the speculative load operation are no longer present (e.g. page in memory is not present) and the load will be allowed to complete. Therefore, substantial gains in efficiency and resource utilization can be achieved by deferring the branch to recovery routines until after the speculative load is retried.

A clustered computer system includes multiple computer systems (or nodes) coupled together via one or more networks that can become members of a group to work on a particular task. Each node includes a cluster engine, a cluster communication mechanism that includes a sliding send window, and one or more service tasks that process messages. The sliding send window allows a node to send out multiple messages without waiting for an individual acknowledgment to each message. The sliding send window also allows a node that received the multiple messages to send a single acknowledge message for multiple received messages. By using a sliding send window to communicate with other computer systems in the cluster, the communication traffic in the cluster is greatly reduced, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the cluster. In addition, the latency between multiple messages sent concurrently is dramatically reduced.

One or more embodiments of the invention enable improved communication with a database comprising multiple clients utilizing multiple large data objects concurrently. For example when a client system interacts with a server with respect to a data object that is over a threshold size, the system may utilizing a communication methodology that minimizes system resource usage such as CPU utilization and network utilization. In one embodiment of the invention when a client request for an object falls within the relevant size threshold, one or more embodiments of the invention segment the object into smaller size chunks. Hence the server is not required to assemble all data associated with a request at once, but is instead able to immediately start transmitting smaller segments of data. Allowing for the transmission of smaller data chunks prevents the server from allocating large blocks of memory to one object and although the server may be required to handle more memory allocations, each allocation is smaller in size and can therefore be processed much faster. The determination of the chunk size is dependent on inherent system resources such as the amount of server memory, and the available bandwidth of the network. In addition, the determination of chunk size is dependent on environmental factors such as the time of day, the day of the week, the number of users, the number of predicted users for a given time and day based on historical logging, and the current and predicted network utilization for a given time and day. One or more embodiments of the invention obtain the chunk size and optionally obtain a chunk transfer size from a server that may alter these quantities dynamically in order to minimize resource utilization.

As the quality and quantity of shared video content increases, video encoding standards and techniques are being developed and improved to reduce bandwidth consumption over telecommunication and other networks. One technique to reduce bandwidth consumption is intra-prediction, which exploits spatial redundancies within video frames. Each video frame may be segmented into blocks, and intra-prediction may be applied to the blocks. However, intra-prediction of some blocks may rely upon the completion (e.g., reconstruction) of other blocks, which can make parallel processing challenging. Provided are exemplary techniques for improving the efficiency and throughput associated with the intra-prediction of multiple blocks.

A memory system includes a memory controller to control a first memory device and a second memory device. The first and second memory devices are different in terms of at least one of physical distance from the memory controller, a manner of connection to the memory controller, error correction capability, or memory supply voltage.

A method of prioritising content for distribution from a camera to a server over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, the method comprising: storing a plurality of audio and/or video data packages to be distributed to the server over the IP network; obtaining information indicating the priority at which each audio and/or video package is to be distributed over the IP network, the priority being determined in accordance with the content of the audio and/or video package; and sending each audio and/or video data package over the IP network, the order in which each audio and/or video data package is sent being determined in accordance with the indicated priority.

An overlaid switching network is derived by overlaying perpendicularly one multistage interconnection network with a second multistage interconnection network. The new network is formed by placing a switching element corresponding to the position of switching elements in either multistage interconnection network. Each switching element in the overlaid network has the ports defined by the two multistage interconnection networks as does its interconnection networks. A special case occurs when the number of rows and columns of the first multistage interconnection network is the number of columns and rows of the second multistage interconnection network, respectively. The overlaid switching networks also inherit their upgradeability from the multistage interconnection networks from which they are derived, such as in the case of a redundant blocking compensated cyclic group multistage network.

A FCP initiator sends a FCP write command to a FCP target within a second FC Exchange, and the target sends one or more FC write control IUs to the initiator within a first FC Exchange to request a transfer of data associated with the write command. The first and second FC exchanges are distinct from one another. A payload of each write control IU includes an OX_ID value with which the initiator originated the second Exchange and a RX_ID value assigned by the FCP target for the second exchange. The two Exchanges yield a full-duplex communication environment between the initiator and target that enables the reduction or elimination of latencies incurred in a conventional FCP write I/O operation due to the half-duplex nature of a single FC Exchange. The write control IU may be an enhanced FCP_XFER_RDY IU or a new FC IU previously undefined by the FCP standard.
