Methods and apparatus for bi-directional control of computing unit frequency are disclosed. An example apparatus to control a frequency of a computing unit includes instructions, memory in the apparatus, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is to determine a performance hint from a first register, the performance hint corresponding to a requested performance of the computing unit for executing a thread associated with software, determine power and performance (PnP) statistics pertaining to the thread from a second register, control the frequency of the computing unit based on the performance hint and the PnP statistics, and provide a pressure of the computing unit to the software.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses to support packed data convolution instructions with shift control and width control are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes a decoder circuit to decode a single instruction into a decoded single instruction, the single instruction having fields that identify a first packed data source, a second packed data source, a packed data destination, a sliding window width, and a stride, and an opcode that indicates an execution circuit is to generate a first chunk of contiguous elements of the first packed data source having a width of the sliding window width, generate a second chunk of contiguous elements of the first packed data source having the width of the sliding window width and shifted by the stride, multiply each element of the first chunk by a corresponding element of a respective chunk of the second packed data source to generate a first set of products, add the first set of products together to generate a first sum, multiply each element of the second chunk by a corresponding element of a respective chunk of the second packed data source to generate a second set of products, add the second set of products together to generate a second sum, and store the first sum in a first element of the packed data destination and the second sum in a second element of the packed data destination; and the execution circuit is to execute the decoded single instruction according to the opcode.

The physical web is an interesting development in networking technology. A beacon may broadcast beacon data and, if desired, a data payload. In various embodiments, a proxy may receive contact from a mobile machine that came into contact with a beacon and received data bringing the mobile machine to the proxy. The proxy may dynamically select a redirection for the mobile machine based on a variety of considerations discussed herein. The proxy may also employ cryptographic and context analysis to the contact from the mobile device to determine if the redirection should happen. And the proxy may review contacts originating from various beacons to determine whether the contacts, or lack thereof, from a beacon suggests the beacon needs to be investigated for failure, error, or tampering with it or its environment.

A method and system for adjusting a duty cycle to save power in a computing system is described. The system includes a network interface card (NIC) that has an active mode and a sleep mode. The NIC is coupled to an adjusting element that adjusts a duty cycle of the active time to the sleep time based at least in part on minimizing power consumption.

A method for discovering agents operative on devices configured in a network by broadcasting discovery messages having a common format and containing data to the network devices and receiving reply messages having the same common format and containing data from the agents, and permitting new types of data within the messages without changing the common format.

Network management

A network management service for facilitating the management of networked devices by network management applications (a.k.a., agents) is described. In a first embodiment, the network management service for facilitating the management of networked devices by network management applications (a.k.a., agents) comprises an agent discovery service for discovering and registering remote management agents, and a file transfer service operative to send information to and receive information from remote systems.
