An architecture and method that enables communication between applications and peripheral devices through use of network-type messaging. The architecture is exemplified by a machine having a mainboard that includes memory and one or more processors. The mainboard also includes one or more expansion slots for receiving various peripheral device cards. The processor(s) is enabled to communicate with peripheral devices via an internet network that includes network interfaces for both the processor and each of the peripheral devices. The network interfaces include a network port and a network address that is bound to the network port by means of a network socket. Socket application program interface (API) and network abstraction layers are provided by software means to enable applications to communicate with the peripheral devices using network messaging and protocols, such as TCP/IP over an Ethernet.

A system and method is provided for the collection and automate dispatching of assignments and news from a teacher to their students and parents. This involves registering members and assigning them roles, scopes and groups based on scheduling and other data pulled from the school/district's database, capturing assignment data from the teacher or student assistant through a web form, constructing custom homepages and assignment messages for each student and parents, and transmitting those messages to the right parties. Additionally, a system and method for relationship-based messaging between members to facilitate communication made difficult or impossible in a traditional school environment. This involves assigning roles and defining the relationships between those roles (factoring in scheduling information), granting and limiting publishing scope based on the same, and providing a system for web messaging and email distribution. Finally, a system and method for creating student digital portfolios. This involves aggregating information already published to the system along with grades and attendance information pulled from the SIS, student work submitted through digital dropboxes, plans and comments from teachers and staff, membership data, and school participation data as expressed through membership and messaging through the system. This information is available on a single web page accessed through directories, rosters and special groups by school and district staff.

The performance of multicast and/or broadcasting between virtual machines over a virtual network. A source hypervisor accesses a network message originated from a source virtual machine, and uses the network message to determine a virtual network address associated with destination virtual machines (after potentially resolving group virtual network addresses). Using each virtual network address, the hypervisor determines a physical network address of the corresponding hypervisor that supports the destination virtual machine, and also determines a unique identifier for the destination virtual machine. The source hypervisor may then dispatch the network message along with the unique identifier to the destination hypervisor over the physical network using the physical network address of the hypervisor. The destination hypervisor passes the network message to the destination virtual machine identified by the unique identifier.

A system and method is disclosed for reducing network message passing latency in a distributed multiprocessing computer system that contains a plurality of microprocessors in a computer network, each microprocessor including router logic to route message packets prioritized in importance by the type of message packet, age of the message packet, and the source of the message packet. The microprocessors each include a plurality of network input ports connected to corresponding local arbiters in the router. The local arbiters are each able to select a message packet from the message packets waiting at the associated network input port. Microprocessor input ports and microprocessor output ports in the microprocessor allow the exchange of message packets between hardware functional units in the microprocessor and between the microprocessors. The microprocessor input ports are similarly each coupled to corresponding local arbiters in the router. Each of the local arbiters is able to select a message packet among the message packets waiting at the microprocessor input port. Global arbiters in the router connected to the network output ports and microprocessor output ports select a message packet from message packets nominated by the local arbiters of the network input ports and microprocessor input ports. The local arbiters connected to each network input port or microprocessor input port will request service from a output port global arbiter for a message packet based on the message packet type if the message packet is ready to be dispatched.

The different modes can implement different messaging strategies, each of which is intended for efficient power management, in view of the limited electrical power that is typically available at the accessory device. A received request message for sending from the companion device to the accessory device is sent if predetermined conditions apply, and similarly for messages from the accessory device to the companion device.

Methods and devices for responding to network messages based on a status of one or more parameters of a device are disclosed. In one embodiment, these methods allow efficient energy management of a network device by monitoring the power levels associated with the device. In particular, if the battery power level associated with the device drops below a predetermined threshold, the device may decide not to respond to certain types of messages received from the network. Furthermore, if the battery power is within a predetermined range, the device may respond to network messages according to a probability value. The disclosed methods may be implemented in mobile devices that operate on a network with distributed hash tables (DHTs).
