SATELLITE PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18533257 titled 'SATELLITE PLATFORM
The patent application describes a system where a management device selects a host and an I/O device from different satellites to form a virtual computer internal bus.
- The system includes satellites with host-side bridges and I/O-side bridges connected to a network.
- The management device selects a host and an I/O device based on a configuration request.
- The selected host-side bridge and I/O-side bridge form a virtual computer internal bus.
- This configuration allows for efficient information processing within the network.
Potential Applications:
- This technology could be used in satellite communication systems to optimize data processing.
- It could also be applied in IoT networks to enhance connectivity and data transfer.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient selection and utilization of resources in a network of satellites.
- Streamlined information processing for improved network performance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced data processing capabilities.
- Improved network efficiency and performance.
Commercial Applications:
- Satellite communication systems
- IoT networks
- Data centers
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the management device determine which host and I/O device to select? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system on a larger scale?
Original Abstract Submitted
A first satellite includes a first host-side bridge and a first host, connected with a network via the first host-side bridge, mounted thereon. A second satellite includes a first I/O-side bridge and a first I/O device, connected with the network via the first I/O-side bridge, mounted thereon. A management device selects the first host mounted on at least one of the first satellites and the first I/O device mounted on at least one of the second satellites, according to a configuration request, and forms an information processing device in which the first host-side bridge connected with the selected first host and the first I/O-side bridge connected with the selected first I/O device constitute a virtual computer internal bus.
