An apparatus for selecting an efficient processor includes a comparison module that compares performance characteristics of a plurality of processors available for execution of a function, where each performance characteristic varies as a function of function size. The apparatus includes a selection module that selects, based on a size of the function, a processor from the plurality of processors with a best performance for execution of the function, and an execution module that executes the function on the selected processor.

Best performance delivery in heterogeneous computing unit environment

An apparatus for selecting a memory management method includes a memory condition module that determines memory parameters of host memory and device memory prior to a device executing a function and a memory selection module that selects a memory management method based on the memory parameters. The apparatus includes and an implementation module that implements the selected memory management method in association with execution of the function.

Dynamic memory management in workload acceleration

One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying, using a short range wireless device of an electronic device, another user device; transferring, using the short range wireless device, connection data for a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point between the electronic device and the another user device; and connecting, using a processor of the electronic device, to the WLAN using the connection data. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Automatic network connection data synchronization for authorized personal devices

An apparatus for dynamically selecting a function includes an intercept module that intercepts a function call from an executing application. The function call specifies a target function and the target function is associated with a target processor. The apparatus includes a selection module that selects a function from a plurality of available functions to execute the function call, where each available function is associated with a separate processor. The apparatus includes an execution module that reroutes the function call to execute the selected function.

Interception of a function call, selecting a function from available functions and rerouting the function call

An approach is provided to display a grid user-interface on a display. The grid user-interface includes a number of medium-sized windows that are displayed in a grid format. Each of the medium-sized windows has a substantially common width and a substantially common height to the other medium-sized windows. The system receives a mixed-mode request from a user. The mixed-mode request corresponds to a selected application that is displayed in one of the medium-sized windows. A second user-interface is displayed in response to receiving the mixed-mode request. The selected application is displayed in a large window and a plurality of small-sized windows is displayed adjacent to the large window. Each of the small-sized windows also has a substantially common width and a substantially common height to the other small-sized windows.

Multi-mode user interface

An aspect provides a method, including: receiving a play request at a first user device, the received play request being transmitted from at least one other user device; determining if a media file is currently being played at the first user device; and responsive to determining that a media file is currently being played at the first user device, appending, at the first user device, a media file associated with the received play request to a media play queue of the first user device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Appending playback from multiple source devices to the same media stream

One embodiment provides a method, including: establishing, using a wireless wide area network (WWAN) device of an electronic device, a WWAN connection; communicating, using the WWAN device, data over the WWAN connection; tethering, using the WWAN device and a wireless local area network (WLAN) device of the electronic device, another user device; communicating, using a processor of the electronic device, data according to the tethering; and determining, using a processor of the electronic device, a separate data usage value for data communicated over the WWAN for the another user device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Distributed network data usage metering across authorized personal devices

An apparatus for selecting a function includes a comparison module that compares energy consumption characteristics of a plurality of processors available for execution of a function, where each energy consumption characteristic varies as a function of function size. The apparatus includes a selection module that selects, based on the size of the function, a processor from the plurality of processors with a lowest energy consumption for execution of the function. The apparatus includes an execution module that executes the function on the selected processor.

Workload placement based on heterogeneous compute performance per watt

One embodiment provides a method, including: connecting, using a network communication device of a mobile device, to a communication network; detecting, using a short range wireless communication device of the mobile device, one or more known devices; determining, using a processor of the mobile device, that the one or more known devices are authorized to connect to the communication network through the mobile device; sending, using the short range wireless communication device, control data for accessing the communication network to the one or more known devices; and communicating, using the network communication device of the mobile device, data for the one or more known devices via the communication network. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Automatic network tethering for authorized personal devices

An aspect provides a method, including: ascertaining, at a first device, a request to transfer media data to another device; determining, at the first device, a plurality of connected devices for potential transfer of media data corresponding to the request; providing, at the first device, a disambiguation cue to a user; ascertaining via the disambiguation cue a target device from the plurality of connected devices for transfer of the media data; and transferring the media data to the target device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Transfer to target disambiguation

A method of removing water from phase separated fuel in a fluid reservoir, said method comprising the steps of: identifying layers of fluid within the reservoir; determining the heights of the respective fluid layers within said reservoir; providing a vacuum and a first suction tube, said vacuum and said first suction tube providing a first volumetric flow rate; inserting the first suction tube into said fluid reservoir; removing a first fluid layer; replacing said first suction tube with a second suction tube, said second suction tube having a greater cross-sectional area than said first suction tube such that said vacuum and said second suction tube have a second volumetric flow rate; inserting said second suction tube into said fluid reservoir; removing a second fluid from said reservoir; and sending said second fluid through a filtration system.

Method of removing phase separated fuel from underground and above-ground storage tanks

Embodiments operating shared peripherals in a hybrid computing system are described. Embodiments control one or more shared peripheral devices variously between a primary system and a secondary system via one or more communication links, where the secondary system is detachable from the primary system and operates as an independent computing device in the disconnected state, while operating as a display device in the connected state.

Systems and methods for shared display in a hybrid environment

An aspect provides a method, including: receiving at a remote device a client log in to a cloud based account issued from a client device; determining the client device is not associated with the client log in; issuing an instruction to unbind at least one client device application log in credential and bind a cloud client log in credential to the at least one client device application; and providing an instruction to unbind the cloud client log in credential from the at least one client device application in response to at least one predetermined criteria being satisfied.
