Title: Energy management in a network
Inventor: VIDHYALAKSHMI KARTHIKEYAN
IPC: H04L47/80
Filed: 2016-03-29
Abstract: The invention proposes identifying candidate network elements, re-routing traffic which passes through them and then putting them into a low power (e.g. sleep, hibernate) mode to reduce overall network energy consumption. The traffic may have multiple quality of service (QoS) levels. Candidates for sleep may be selected based upon low utilisation levels and possibly high power consumption in addition. Switches may be re-awakened if overall global network power consumption does not fall. The system may track dormant devices to allow route planning using re-awakened devices. The system may consider traffic loss and/or failure to deliver QoS related to powering down network elements. The system may monitor parameters (e.g. time, geographic location, neighbours, traffic forecasts and outages) and trigger (de)activation of network elements dependent upon the parameters.

Title: Register-based complex number processing
Inventor: ERIC BISCONDI
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2017-07-20
Abstract: A data processing system stores vectors of complex numbers in vector registers. The complex numbers are stored with the real and imaginary parts of the same number in adjacent vector entries. A signed doubling multiply add long bottom top instruction multiplies the lower of a pair of vector entries from a first source register with the upper entry in the corresponding pair in a second source register. The result is then added to the corresponding entry in a destination entry, the entries of which are twice as long as those in the source registers. Further instructions allow other combinations of the entries to be multiplied and allow the result to be subtracted from the destination register. The instruction may specify a transposition operation to be carried out on one of the vectors before the multiplication. The result may be stored in the destination register entries rather than being added.
