Title: A monitoring method and system
Inventor: JAMES OLIVER HOLMES HOSKISSON
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2017-11-17
Abstract: A method of monitoring events in a system (e.g. a processor, computer network, telecommunications network, power network, or traffic network) involves receiving S101 data comprising a sequence of events, the events being of different types (e.g. different nodes visited by a packet travelling through a network). Each event type is assigned S103 a character in an alphabet. Alphabet characters are combined S105 to create a new alphabet having a minimum entropy value when representing the series of events. The method may include receiving performance data for the system and matching performance changes to characters in the minimum entropy alphabet. The new characters may be analysed to measure the frequency of event sub-sequences, and if a frequency exceeds a threshold, an alarm is output. Multiple event chains may be judged to be similar if they share event sub-sequences, i.e. if they share letters from the low entropy alphabet.

Title: Allocation of tiles to processing engines in a graphics processing system
Inventor: JONATHAN REDSHAW
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2015-12-21
Abstract: Primitive fragments are processed in a graphics processing system using a rendering space which is sub-divided into a plurality of tiles. Texturing and/or shading is applied to fragments at processing engines, and tiles are allocated to these engines (up to a maximum) in a plurality of allocation modes, including a spatial allocation mode (S802) (in which groups of spatially adjacent tiles are allocated to the processing engines according to a spatial allocation scheme) and a load balancing allocation mode (S808), preferably according to loading and allocation thresholds (S804 & S806). A queue of tiles allocated for processing by the engine is maintained for each engine, and the state of the queues is monitored to determine an allocation mode in which tiles are to be allocated to the engines. The spatial allocation mode ensures that each of the groups of spatially adjacent tiles (e.g. 2x2 groups) is allocated to a set of engines which are coupled to the same cache subsystem. A cache (e.g. a multi-level cache) in the system may store graphics data for the fragments, the cache including multiple cache subsystems. Each subsystem is coupled to a respective set of one or more processing engines.

Abstract: A wave or swell and gravity powered energy converter fluid pump is anchored via a multidirectional coupling 3 to the sea bed 1. A float 10 partially submerged on the water surface 11 supports a substantially vertical reciprocating cylinder 7, which on a wave draws fluid in through valve 14. On the working down stroke in the following trough, the piston 8 at the top of elongate member 6, pressurises chamber 9, using gravity and ballast 22, attached externally towards the base of the cylinder. The ballast increases the weight of the cylinder, to produce the required pressurisation of the fluid. The outer diameter of the elongate member, occupies less than 90% of the bore diameter of the reciprocating pressure cylinder. The pressure piston and/or cylinder, may pass above the surface float, and/or above the water surface. Extensions can be added to the elongate member, for location in deeper water.
