A cache memory including: a plurality of parallel input ports configured to receive, in parallel, memory access requests wherein each parallel input port is operable to receive a memory access request for any one of a plurality of processing units; and a plurality of cache blocks wherein each cache block is configured to receive memory access requests from a unique one of the plurality of input ports such that there is a one-to-one mapping between the plurality of parallel input ports and the plurality of cache blocks and wherein each of the plurality of cache blocks is configured to serve a unique portion of an address space of the memory.

Multi-channel cache memory

Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments provide wireless charging detection. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method comprises advertising by a wireless charging device, an availability for wireless charging over a wireless communication interface; scanning, by the wireless charging device, for wireless signals from one or more other wireless devices; providing, by the wireless charging device, information usable for characterizing charging capabilities of the wireless charging device; transmitting, by the wireless charging device, one or more wireless communication packets over the wireless communication interface, including the information usable for characterizing the charging capabilities of the wireless charging device, in response to receiving one or more wireless signals from the one or more other wireless devices; and providing, by the wireless charging device, power to the one or more other wireless devices over a wireless power interface.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for wireless charging detection

In a method for local discovery a request to make a search for at least one local service is received from at least one device. A search is performed by means of at least one service directory to discover the at least one local service. As a result of the search, information on such local services in proximity of the device is provided to the device.

Method, a server and a computer program for local discovery

The invention relates to methods, apparatuses, systems and computer program products for discovery of nearby devices (). To facilitate discovery of nearby, i.e. proximal, devices, a discovery control signal () from a control device () may be used to control the discovery, e.g. how or when the discovery is carried out. The devices may send status information of their status to be used by the control device or the control system for forming the discovery control signal. The control device, e.g. a server, may form the discovery control signal based on this status information. Discovery of proximal devices may then be carried out based on the received discovery control signal.

Discovery method and apparatuses and system for discovery

An approach is provided for caching parameters of local mashup services. One or more devices and/or service providers determine one or more mashup services, one or more trigger conditions associated with the one or more mashup services, and/or one or more actions associated with the one or more mashup services. Further, the one or more devices cache the one or more mashup services, the one or more trigger conditions, and/or the one or more actions at one or more local caches. Furthermore, the one or more devices and/or service providers determine one or more results of one or more queries for the one or more mashup services, the one or more trigger conditions, and/or the one or more actions from the one or more local caches.

Method and apparatus for caching local mashup service parameters

A method of handover prediction for a mobile device comprises receiving wireless communication service from a first access point; detecting a change in fingerprint data relating to available access points; correlating recent history data of a series of fingerprint data with history data comprised by a history database; determining, in response to the correlation and by using the fingerprint data and the history data, a second access point; and triggering a handover from the first access point to the second access point. The method may further comprise determining fingerprint data relating to available access points; comparing the fingerprint data to known fingerprint data of a fingerprint database; updating the fingerprint database in response to the comparison revealing new fingerprint data; and storing history data of series of fingerprint data reflecting earlier movement of a user to a history database. Identifying unavailable access points and notifying a disconnection to the mobile user.

Method and apparatus for triggering handover between access points based on gathered history data of series of access points

A method for optimizing memory bandwidth using bank-based memory allocation is described. The method includes receiving a request for an allocation of memory. In response to receiving the request, memory is allocated to the request based on a performance ranking of memory banks in a plurality of memory banks. A performance ranking of a particular memory bank may be based at least in part on both a busyness and a row hit ratio of the particular memory bank. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.

Allocating memory based on performance ranking

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided herein to enable buffer initialization and/or clearance to occur on, for example, a mobile terminal. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises receiving an indication that a buffer has been initialized by a host. The method of this embodiment may also include receiving source code from the host. In some example embodiments, the source code is received from a program running on the host and is configured to cause the buffer that has been initialized by the host to be cleared. The method of this embodiment may also include executing the source code such that the buffer that has been initialized by the host is cleared.

Method and apparatus for buffer initialization

The invention relates to a method for obtaining temperature values from at least two thermal sensors arranged on resources within a three-dimensional die structure determining at least a partial three-dimensional temperature distribution for said die structure and controlling activity of said resources of said dies in response to said three-dimensional temperature distribution.

Thermal sensors for stacked dies
