Device Assisted Services (DAS) for protecting network capacity is provided. In some embodiments, DAS for protecting network capacity includes monitoring a network service usage activity of the communications device in network communication; classifying the network service usage activity for differential network access control for protecting network capacity; and associating the network service usage activity with a network service usage control policy based on a classification of the network service usage activity to facilitate differential network access control for protecting network capacity.

Device-Assisted Services for Protecting Network Capacity

A method performed by an end user device associated with a service plan having a limit on usage of a network service, the method comprising storing one or more notification actions corresponding to one or more notification requests; performing a device action that reflects a past or intended use of the network service; receiving one of the one or more notification requests from a network element in response to the device action; performing one of the one or more notification actions in response to the notification request, the notification action causing the end user device to retrieve at least a portion of a notification message associated with a status of the use, the at least a portion of the notification message being separate from the one of the one or more notification requests; and presenting the notification message on a user interface of the end user device.

System and Method for Providing User Notifications

A method comprising obtaining, by a server, wireless-network performance data from a plurality of end user devices; generating, by the server, a prioritized network list from the wireless-network performance data; and provisioning, by the server, the prioritized network list to an end user device comprising a radio interface for receiving the prioritized network list from the server, the radio interface being identified to receive the prioritized network list based on a characteristic associated with the end user device; a radio configured to identify available wireless networks, the available wireless networks being different than a current wireless network to which the end user device is currently connected; a prioritized network selection engine for using the prioritized network list to select one of the available wireless networks; and a network connection engine configured to initiate disconnection from the current wireless network and connection to the selected wireless network.

System and method for wireless network offloading

A server apparatus comprises a plurality of server on a chip (SoC) nodes interconnected to each other through a node interconnect fabric. Each one of the SoC nodes has respective memory resources integral therewith. Each one of the SoC nodes has information computing resources accessible by one or more data processing systems. Each one of the SoC nodes configured with memory access functionality enabling allocation of at least a portion of said memory resources thereof to one or more other ones of the SoC nodes and enabling allocation of at least a portion of said memory resources of one or more other ones of the SoC nodes thereto based on a workload thereof.

Remote memory access functionality in a cluster of data processing nodes

A multi-protocol personality module enabling load/store from remote memory, remote Direct memory Access (DMA) transactions, and remote interrupts, which permits enhanced performance, power utilization and functionality. In one form, the module is used as a node in a network fabric and adds a routing header to packets entering the fabric, maintains the routing header for efficient node-to-node transport, and strips the header when the packet leaves the fabric. In particular, a remote bus personality component is described. Several use cases of the Remote Bus Fabric Personality Module are disclosed: 1) memory sharing across a fabric connected set of servers; 2) the ability to access physically remote Input Output (I/O) devices across this fabric of connected servers; and 3) the sharing of such physically remote I/O devices, such as storage peripherals, by multiple fabric connected servers.

System and method for using a multi-protocol fabric module across a distributed server interconnect fabric

A computing system comprises one or more cores. Each core comprises a processor. In some implementations, each processor is coupled to a communication network among the cores. In some implementations, a switch in each core includes switching circuitry to forward data received over data paths from other cores to the processor and to switches of other cores, and to forward data received from the processor to switches of other cores.

Computing in parallel processing environments

One embodiment includes a computing device including peripheral component bus interfaces for connection to a peripheral component bus, a first integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising a processor to initiate a register setup process of the device, a second IC chip including a tile processor including multiple tiles, each tile including at least a processing core configured to generate requests to at least one of the peripheral component bus interfaces, steering configuration registers to store steering configuration data, and steering logic to steer the generated requests responsively to the steering configuration data in the steering configuration registers, and steering register setup circuitry including a multicaster and a register setup memory, wherein the processor is configured to write the steering configuration data to the register setup memory, and the multicaster is configured to multicast the steering configuration data written to the register setup memory to the steering configuration registers of the tiles.

Hardware engine for configuration register setup

A multiprocessor device includes cores and at least one ingress-write ordering circuitry (IWOC) including first and second counters associated with first and second destinations. The IWOC is configured to assign sequential numbers to write transactions received from a source, according to an order of reception at the IWOC, and to forward the write transactions from the IWOC to the first and second write-transaction destinations, while preserving the order, by incrementing the first and second counters such that both the first counter and the second counter track a sequential number of a next write transaction that the IWOC will forward, forwarding a first write transaction to the first destination only provided that the sequential number of the first write transaction matches the first counter, and forwarding a second write transaction to the second destination only provided that the sequential number of the second write transaction matches the second counter.
