IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2012-05-22
Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using an attribute of a write request to determine where to cache data in a storage system having multiple caches including non-volatile storage cache in a sequential access storage device. Received modified tracks are cached in the non- volatile storage device integrated with the sequential access storage device in response to determining to cache the modified tracks. A write request having modified tracks is received. A determination is made as to whether an attribute of the received write request satisfies a condition. The received modified tracks for the write request are cached in the non- volatile storage device in response to determining that the determined attribute does not satisfy the condition. A destage request is added to a request queue for the received write request having the determined attribute not satisfying the condition.

Abstract: An integrated smart meter (10) (20) monitors power and usage passing between a household supply main (12) and household appliances (14), uses power line signalling (16) to signal meter readings and power consumption, has the improvement of also comprising an integrated locally generated power controller and switch (20). The integrated smart meter (10) (20) also comprises appliance signalling means (28) operable to signal to individual appliances (14) to switch the individual appliances (14), or groups of appliances (14) (14A), either on or off. When locally generated power alone or stored energy is being employed, the appliance signalling means (28) is operable to switch appliances (28) o meet supply capability according to the immediate generation and/or storage capacity. Appliances (14) are switched on or off according to instant local power generation capacity and are switched off in a user selectable order to leave a last appliance (14) to be the last to be switched off as the local power generation capacity falls towards zero. Not only power line signalling (16) is shown for coupling the smart meter (10) (20) to the outside world, but also coupling by means of a wide area network (118), use of Home Area Networks (HAN) (130), and use of In Home Display (IHD) (132) devices. Use is also possible in an integrated apartment block where locally generated energy for the apartment block is allocated between apartments. Flicker free recovery from supply main power failure is provided. The apparatus allows use in economy mode, determined either by time of day or in response to supply main supplier messages. The invention also permits selective use of gas or electric heating and operational shutdown when no one is in a dwelling.

Patent GB-2531367-A (GB)
Title: Impulsive noise rejection
Inventor: MURRIN PAUL
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2015-01-09
Abstract: A method of rejecting impulsive noise in an OFDM receiver is described. The impulsive noise is rejected using Channel State Information (CSI) and is performed in the frequency domain. A noise power estimate (also referred to as a noise value) is measured 302 for a single OFDM symbol and compared 304 to a threshold value, which may be generated based on a short-term average of OFDM symbols not corrupted by impulsive noise or predicted based on a small number of previously measured OFDM symbols not corrupted by impulsive noise. If the noise estimate for the particular OFDM symbol exceeds the threshold value, the CSI for that symbol is derated (i.e. modified) 306 to reduce the influence of the information from this symbol on the decoding process. The Channel State Information may relate to the noise variance/power or the inversely proportional measure of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The soft information, such as the Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) information, fed into the decoding process by the demapper is therefore suitably modified such that the influence of individual symbols with high noise is reduced. The threshold may be dynamic. Noise values may be determined using continuous pilots, scattered pilots, a preamble or data carriers.

Title: An apparatus and method for managing address collisions when performing vector operations
Inventor: MBOU EYOLE
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2016-04-26
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for managing address collisions when performing vector operations. The apparatus has a register store 140 for storing vector operands, each comprising a plurality of elements, and execution circuitry for executing instructions. The execution circuitry has access circuitry 145 for performing memory access operations to move the vector operands between the register store and memory, and processing circuitry 115 for performing data processing operations using the vector operands. The execution circuitry is arranged to iteratively execute a vector loop, where during each iteration it executes a sequence of instructions to implement the vector loop. The sequence includes a check instruction identifying a plurality of memory addresses, and the execution circuitry is responsive to execution of the check instruction to determine whether an address hazard condition exists amongst the memory addresses. For each iteration of the vector loop, in the absence of the hazard address condition, a default level of vectorisation is employed, while in the presence of the address hazard condition, a reduced level of vectorisation is employed. Dynamic adjustment of the level of vectorisation employed during each iteration of the vector loop is thus facilitated.
