Abstract

A method for selective duplication of subtasks in a high-performance computing system includes: monitoring a health status of one or more nodes in a high-performance computing system, where one or more subtasks of a parallel task execute on the one or more nodes; identifying one or more nodes as having a likelihood of failure which exceeds a first prescribed threshold; selectively duplicating the one or more subtasks that execute on the one or more nodes having a likelihood of failure which exceeds the first prescribed threshold; and notifying a messaging library that one or more subtasks were duplicated.

Methods and apparatus for broadband angular selectivity of electromagnetic waves

Patent Shen, Yichen; Ye, Dexin; Celanovic, Ivan; ...

A filter to transmit incident radiation at a predetermined incidence angle includes a plurality of photonic crystal structures disposed substantially along a surface normal direction of the filter. The photonic crystal structure includes a multilayer cell that comprises a first layer having a first dielectric permittivity, and a second layer having a second dielectric permittivity different from the first dielectric permittivity. The first layer and the second layer define a Brewster angle substantially equal to the predetermined incidence angle based on the first dielectric permittivity and the second permittivity. Each photonic crystal structure in the plurality of photonic crystal structuresmore » « less

Patent Andrade Costa, Carlos H.; Cher, Chen-Yong; Park, Yoonho; ...

A method for providing selective memory error protection responsive to a predictable failure notification associated with at least one portion of a memory in a computing system includes: obtaining an active error correcting code (ECC) configuration corresponding to the portion of the memory; determining whether the active ECC configuration is sufficient to correct at least one error in the portion of the memory affected by the predictable failure notification; when the active ECC configuration is insufficient to correct the error, determining whether data corruption can be tolerated by an application running on the computing system; when data corruption cannot bemore » « less

Method and apparatus for selectively harvesting multiple components of a plant material

Patent Hoskinson, Reed L.; Hess, Richard J.; Kenney, Kevin L.; ...

A method and apparatus for selectively harvesting multiple components of a plant material. A grain component is separated from the plant material such as by processing the plant material through a primary threshing and separating mechanism. At least one additional component of the plant material is selectively harvested such as by subjecting the plant material to a secondary threshing and separating mechanism. For example, the stems of a plant material may be broken at a location adjacent one or more nodes thereof with the nodes and the internodal stem portions being subsequently separated for harvesting. The at least one additionalmore » « less

Induction heating apparatus and methods for selectively energizing an inductor in response to a measured electrical characteristic that is at least partially a function of a temperature of a material being heated

Patent Richardson, John G.; Morrison, John L.; Hawkes, Grant L.

An induction heating apparatus includes a measurement device for indicating an electrical resistance of a material to be heated. A controller is configured for energizing an inductor in response to the indicated resistance. An inductor may be energized with an alternating current, a characteristic of which may be selected in response to an indicated electrical resistance. Alternatively, a temperature of the material may be indicated via measuring the electrical resistance thereof and a characteristic of an alternating current for energizing the inductor may be selected in response to the temperature. Energizing the inductor may minimize the difference between a desiredmore » « less
