20110138452 | CROSS SECURITY-DOMAIN IDENTITY CONTEXT PROJECTION WITHIN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - Processing within a computing environment is facilitated by: determining by a local security manager of a first system in a first security domain whether a local security context of a user is acceptable to a second system in a second security domain; responsive to the user's security context being unacceptable to the second system, creating by a local security manager of the second system a runtime security context for the user in the second system; and providing the first system with a reference to the runtime security context for the user in the second system which is resolvable within the computing environment or a portable representation of the runtime security context for the user in the second system, the reference or the portable representation being subsequently returned to the second system with a request from the first system to process work at the second system. | 06-09-2011 |

20130315260 | Flow-Based TCP - A system and method for sharing a WAN TCP tunnel between multiple flows without having head of the line blocking problem is disclosed. When a complete but out of order PDU is stuck behind an incomplete PDU in a TCP tunnel, the complete but out of order PDU is removed from the tunnel. To do that, first the boundaries of the PDUs of the different flows are preserved and the TCP receive window advertisement is increased. The receive window is opened when initially receiving out-of-order data. As out-of-order complete PDUs are pulled out of the receive queue, to address double counting, place holders are used in the receive queue to indicate data that was in the queue. As out-of-order data PDUs are pulled out of the queue the window advertisement is increased. This keeps the sending side from running out of TX window and stopping transmission of new data. | 11-28-2013 |
20130318246 | TCP Connection Relocation - TCP connections are moved between parallel devices and links during either connection setup or during active operation. | 11-28-2013 |
20150055482 | TCP Extended Fast Recovery and Segment Timing - When in Fast Recovery, Extended Fast Recovery operation starts a timer on the retransmission of each packet. The time expires in one adjusted round trip time. If there has not been an acknowledgement for the retransmitted packet and the Extended Fast Recovery timer expires, it is assumed that the retransmitted packet was lost and must be retransmitted again. Extended Fast Recovery operation keeps retransmitting the packet, once every adjusted round trip time, until an acknowledgement is received or the slow recovery timer expires. Segment Timing is an addition to Extended Fast Recovery where every sent packet is timed separately from the time of first transmission, not just retransmitted packets. | 02-26-2015 |
20150117200 | Bandwidth Optimization Using Coalesced DUP ACKs - After sending M consecutive DUP ACKs, M generally being three, the TCP receiver generates DUP ACKs every N packets, with N greater than one, with the eventually transmitted DUP ACK containing SACK information. After receiving the third DUP ACK the TCP transmitter uses the positive acknowledgements provided in the SACK information in the TCP header to inflate the congestion window. With the reduced DUP ACKs from the TCP receiver to the TCP transmitter, the impact of TCP DUP ACKs on the data rate from the TCP receiver to the TCP transmitter is substantially reduced. | 04-30-2015 |

20110276778 | EFFICIENT SUPPORT OF MULTIPLE PAGE SIZE SEGMENTS - An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for improved support of MPS segments in a microprocessor. The virtual address is used to generate possible TLB index values for each of the supported page sizes of the MPS segment associated with the virtual address. The possible TLB index values may be a hash generated using the virtual address and one of the supported page sizes. The TLB is searched for actual TLB index values that match the possible TLB index values calculated using the different supported page sizes. TLB entries associated with those actual TLB index values are checked to determine whether any TLB entry is associated with the virtual address. If no match is found, the real address is retrieved from the PT.

20120084511 | INEFFECTIVE PREFETCH DETERMINATION AND LATENCY OPTIMIZATION - A processor of an information handling system (IHS) initiates an L3 cache prefetch operation in response to a demand load during instruction processing. The processor selects an L3 cache prefetch at random for tracking as a target prefetched instruction. The processor initiates an L1 cache target prefetch operation and stores the resultant target prefetched instruction in the L1 cache. If a demand load arrives, the processor analyses the target prefetched instruction for effectiveness and determines the source of the prefetch data. If a demand does not arrive, the processor tests to determine if the particular prefetched instruction timed out in the cache and identifies the infectiveness of the prefetch operation. The processor samples multiple prefetch operations at random and generates a history of prefetch effectiveness and other useful prefetch information. The processor stores the prefetch effectiveness information to enable reduction or removal of ineffective prefetch operations. | 04-05-2012 |
20130232320 | PERSISTENT PREFETCH DATA STREAM SETTINGS - A prefetch unit includes a transience register and a length register. The transience register hosts an indication of transient for data stream prefetching. The length register hosts an indication of a stream length for data stream prefetching. The prefetch unit monitors the transience register and the length register. The prefetch unit generates prefetch requests of data streams with a transient property up to the stream length limit when the transience register indicates transient and the length register indicates the stream length limit for data stream prefetching. A cache controller coupled with the prefetch unit implements a cache replacement policy and cache coherence protocols. The cache controller writes data supplied from memory responsive to the prefetch requests into cache with an indication of transient. The cache controller victimizes cache lines with an indication of transient independent of the cache replacement policy. | 09-05-2013 |

20120173302 | METHOD OF PROVIDING ECONOMETRIC INFORMATION BASED ON REAL TIME/REAL DATA FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS - Econometric information is produced based upon real data that has been electronically acquired in real time. The acquired data is analyzed to select data records having attributes unique to a particular activity of interest. The selected data records are aggregated, adjusted, and used to create a statistical index or metric related to an economic activity. The statistical index or metric, together with information illustrating or interpreting information, is electronically distributed. As an example, a Pulse of Commerce Index related to shipment of goods is produced by electronically processing and storing data relating to financial transactions involved in purchase of goods and services. Data records are selected that involve fuel purchases, which act as a proxy for freight activity. Using the selected data records, both national and regional indices based upon fuel purchases are produced and distributed. | 07-05-2012 |
