Abstract: A method for performing a system start up. The method including receiving at a board management controller (BMC) a startup configuration instruction to boot up a compute node with an operating system, wherein the compute node is located on a sled including a plurality of compute nodes, wherein the BMC is configured for managing a plurality of communication interfaces providing communication to the plurality of compute nodes. The method including sending a boot instruction from the BMC to a boot controller of the compute node over a communication interface to execute a basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware that is stored remote from the compute node. The method including performing execution of the BIOS firmware on the compute node to initiate loading of the operating system for execution by the compute node.

Abstract: A method for cloud gaming. The method including generating a video frame when executing a video game at a server. The method including scanning-in the video frame to an encoder at the server scanline-by-scanline. The method including encoding one or more encoder slices as one or more encoded slices at the encoder, wherein each encoded slice is delivered to a buffer at an encoder fill rate. The method including draining a first encoded slice from the buffer to stream the first encoded slice at a buffer drain rate over a network to a client, wherein the first encoded slice is streamed over the network before fully encoding the one or more slices of the video frame.

Abstract: Provided are a sound output control apparatus, a sound output control system, a sound output control method, and a program that can appropriately thin out the output of pieces of sound data. A sound data reception section receives a plurality of pieces of sound data transmitted from transmission apparatuses that are different from each other. A selection section selects a portion of the plurality of pieces of sound data on the basis of at least one of a result of a voice activity detection process performed on each of the pieces of sound data or moving averages of volumes of sounds represented by the pieces of sound data. A sound data transmission section outputs the selected portion of the pieces of sound data.
