System and method for distribution of resources for an I/O virtualized (IOV) adapter and management of the adapter through an iov management partition
ActiveUS20090144731A1Multiprogramming arrangementsSoftware simulation/interpretation/emulationClient-sideShared resource
The system and method address the situation where an input / output (I / O) fabric is shared by more than one logical partition (LPAR) and where each LPAR can share with the other LPARs an I / O adapter (IOA). In particular, each LPAR is assigned its own separate address space to access a virtual function (VF) assigned to it such that each LPAR's perception is that it has its own independent IOA. Each VF may be shared across multiple LPARs. Facilities are provided for management of the shared resources of the IOA via a Physical Function (PF) of the IOA by assignment of that PF to an I / O Virtualization Management Partition (IMP). The code running in the IMP acts as a virtual intermediary to the VFs for fully managing the VF error handling, VF reset, and configuration operations. The IMP also acts as an interface to the PF for accessing common VF functionality. Furthermore, the functions of resource assignment and management relative to the VFs and the client partitions that use those VFs, which might normally be done by an entity like a hypervisor, are implemented by this IMP.

Methods and systems for providing multi-tenancy support for single root I/O virtualization
ActiveUS20150381495A1Data switching by path configurationProgram controlVirtualizationI/O virtualization
A method for providing support for multi-tenancy in single root input / out virtualization (SR-IOV) enabled physical network interface controller (NIC) is provided. The NIC is associated with a host. The SR-IOV provides a physical function (PF) and a set of virtual functions (VFs) for the NIC. The method at a VF of the physical NIC, receives a mapping table of an overlay network which associates an identification of each of a set of virtual machine (VM) of a tenant on the host to an identification of a tunnel end point on the overlay network. The method receives a transmit packet from a VM connected to the VF and performs a lookup in the mapping table to identify source and destination tunnel end points associated with source and destination VMs in the packet. The method encapsulates the packet, for transmission through the tunnel end point associated with the source VM.

Exercise device independent, variable display rate visual exercise system
InactiveUS20050075213A1Facilitate smooth displayClubsMuscle exercising devicesRepetitive movementsSystem usage
An exercise device independent, variable display rate visual exercise system uses a sensor to sense repetitive movements or other physical functions of the user. A computing device-readable medium containing computing device executable instructions which, when run on a computing device, cause the computing device to receive a user-exercise signal related to a user-exercise level, determine a modified frame-display time for a visual-image stream in response to the user-exercise signal, and provide the modified frame-display time to a visual-image stream player. Determining the modified frame-display time may include instructions that determine a user-exercise level in response to the user-exercise signal, receive a camera-mount speed and a native frame-display time for a recorded visual-image stream, correlate the camera-mount speed and the user-exercise level, and modify the native frame-display time in response to the correlation to produce the modified frame-display time. These instructions permit the visual-image stream player when playing the visual-image stream to dynamically change the frame-display time as a function of the user-exercise level.

A system and method which provide a mechanism for an I / O virtualization management partition (IMP) to control the shared functionality of an I / O virtualization (IOV) enabled I / O adapter (IOA) through a physical function (PF) of the IOA while the virtual functions (VFs) are assigned to client partitions for normal I / O operations directly. A hypervisor provides device-independent facilities to the code running in the IMP and client partitions. The IMP may include device specific code without the hypervisor needing to sacrifice its size, robustness, and upgradeability. The hypervisor provides the virtual intermediary functionally for the sharing and control of the IOA's control functions.

System and method for migration of single root stateless virtual functions
InactiveUS20080148295A1Multiprogramming arrangementsSpecific program execution arrangementsEngineeringOperating system
A system and method for migration of single root stateless virtual functions are provided. A Single-Root PCI Configuration Manager (SR-PCIM) provides a system image (SI) with possible virtual function (VF) migration scenarios supported by the endpoint (EP). The SR-PCIM may be instructed that a stateless migration of a VF and its associated application(s) from one SI to another is required. Outstanding requests to the VF are completed and any applications associated with the VF are removed from the SI and the VF is detached from its associated physical function (PF). The SWI may then attach the VF to a target PF which may be in the same or a different EP. The SWI makes the VF available to the SI with which the VF is now associated and the SI configures the VF thereby making it available for use by associated applications.

Vendor-independent resource configuration interface for self-virtualizing input/output device
ActiveUS20120297379A1Software simulation/interpretation/emulationMemory systemsVirtualizationOutput device
A vendor-independent resource configuration interface automatically maps virtual functions to physical functions in a self-virtualizing IO resource using the concept of a logical port that maps to a particular physical port and protocol in the self-virtualizing IO resource. A user wishing to provide a logical partition access to a self-virtualizing IO resource typically creates or configures a logical port for the logical partition by mapping the logical port to a particular physical port and protocol defined for the self-virtualizing IO resource, and an appropriate virtual function mapped to an appropriate physical function on an appropriate self-virtualizing IO resource is automatically selected, typically without requiring the user to have a detailed understanding of the numbers of supported virtual functions, physical functions and protocols supported by specific resources.
