Abstract:
The embodiments disclosed herein provide a computing device that includes an upstream buffer and downstream data processing circuit that establish a data processing path where the data stored by upstream buffer is received and processed by the downstream data processing circuit. Using a buffer utilization characteristic of the upstream buffer such as its current availability (e.g., the buffer is 50% full) or an input data rate, the computing device adjusts the clock signal used to drive the downstream data processing circuit. For example, if the utilization of the upstream buffer is low, the number of clock edges in the clock signal may be reduced thereby reducing power consumption of the computing device. However, as the utilization of the buffer begins to increase, the computing device may increase the number of clock edges to prevent a buffer overflow.
Abstract:
According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, thing discovery and configuration for an Internet of Things (IoT) integrated developer environment (IDE) is shown and described. In particular, in one embodiment, a computer operates an IoT IDE that discovers real-world physical devices within a computer network that are available to participate with the IoT IDE. The IoT IDE may then determine a respective functionality of each of the real-world physical devices, and virtually represents the real-world physical devices as selectable options within the IoT IDE for an IoT application, where a respective virtual representation of each of the real-world physical devices is configured within the IoT IDE with the corresponding respective functionality of that real-world physical device. Simulating the IoT application within the IoT IDE then relays input and/or output (I/O) between the IoT IDE and a selected set of real-world physical devices according to their corresponding respective functionality.
