Abstract: Techniques for parallel data collection and recovery for a failing virtual processing system are disclosed. According to aspects of the present disclosure, an example method includes: detecting that the virtual processing system experiences an irreparable error; saving, by each of a plurality of processors of the physical processing system, a corresponding context and data stored in an allocated portion of a memory of the physical processing system to a data store; selecting one of the plurality of processors as a recovery processor; initializing, by the recovery processor, a pre-determined reserved portion of the memory; initiating, by the recovery processor, a new instance of the virtual processing system on the reserved portion of the memory while each remaining processor of the plurality of processors continues the saving; and dynamically adding each remaining processor of the plurality of processors to the new instance of the virtual processing system.

Abstract: A puzzle-style modular electronic device is provided. The puzzle-style modular electronic device is activated based on detecting an interconnection of a plurality of block modules and determining whether the interconnection of the plurality of block modules matches an assembly orientation. Note that each of the plurality of block modules includes a processor, a memory, and at least one connection point through which the interconnection is established and that the interconnection of the plurality of block modules collectively forms the modular electronic device. Further, the puzzle-style modular electronic device authenticates a set of operations of the modular electronic device in response to the determining that the interconnection of the plurality of block modules matches the assembly orientation.
