Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with embedded computing, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an embedded computing platform includes a plurality of system-on-chips (SoCs) forming a local compute cluster; and an orchestrator disposed on one of the SoCs arranged to orchestrate fail-safe operations, in response to a reported unrecoverable failure requiring shut down or partial disabling of one of the SoCs, to consolidate execution of critical workloads on one or more of remaining fully or partially operational ones of the SoCs. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Method and apparatus to provide an improved fail-safe system for critical and non-critical workloads of a computer-assisted or autonomous driving vehicle

In various embodiments, an apparatus includes a system-on-chip (SoC) to be disposed in a vehicle having a plurality of cores; a hypervisor arranged to partition the cores into at least two domains, an operational domain and a failover domain; a first operating system (OS) arranged to manage execution of at least a first application in the operational domain to provide a first plurality of functions for the vehicle; a second OS arranged to manage execution of at least a second application in the failover domain to provide a second plurality of functions for the vehicle, on occurrence of a failure of the first application. The second functions comprise a subset of the first functions or less embellished versions of some of the first functions, and the second OS has less capabilities than the first OS. Other embodiments, including storage media and methods, are also described and claimed.

Failover support within a SoC via standby domain

Apparatus, systems, methods, and articles herein interact with an operating system in a network client to simulate an 'always connected' network connection model. Upon activation, a network driver implementing embodiments herein indicates to the operating system that a network connection has been established, whether or not an actual connection is established. Some embodiments may also present a pseudo network address (e.g., an IP address) to the operating system in the case of a virtual network connection. Upon sensing an actual physical network connection, embodiments herein may handshake with the operating system to establish a real network connection, including communicating a network-assigned network address to the operating system. The operating system may in turn report (or continue to report) an active connection to application programs so that a user need not repeatedly re-activate the network connection manually. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Dynamic network activation apparatus, systems, and methods

A device is presented including a processor. A memory is connected to the processor. The processor calculates calorie burn. The memory has a many data objects for storing data accessed by an application program that is executed on the processor. The data objects include a first data structure that is stored in one of the many data objects. The data structure includes a formatted exercise data block used by the application program. The formatted exercise data block includes many formatted exercise intensity data blocks that have polynomial parameters. Also, a second data structure is stored in another one of the many data objects. This data structure includes a formatted calorie calculation block used by the application program.
