Abstract: A virtualization platform for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is provided. The virtualization platform may include a host processor coupled to an acceleration coprocessor. The acceleration coprocessor may be a reconfigurable integrated circuit to help provide improved flexibility and agility for the NFV. The coprocessor may include multiple virtual function hardware acceleration modules each of which is configured to perform a respective accelerator function. A virtual machine running on the host processor may wish to perform multiple accelerator functions in succession at the coprocessor on a given data. In one suitable arrangement, intermediate data output by each of the accelerator functions may be fed back to the host processor. In another suitable arrangement, the successive function calls may be chained together so that only the final resulting data is fed back to the host processor.

Abstract: Recycling information is associated with objects through the use of molecular tags. The recycling information may describe the type of material that the object is made from as well as provide instructions for recycling. The molecular tags may be polynucleotides or other types of molecules including inorganic molecules. The molecular tags may be embedded within the object or attached to the surface of the object. At the end of the object's life, the molecular tags are read and the recycling information is used to appropriately recycle the object.

Abstract: Adaptive matching is provided, which is used to automatically match a block size of a transactional file system with an IO size of a client. An example method includes creating a share domain, wherein the share domain is created on a first file system, and a block size of the first file system is a first block size. The method further includes determining a block size of the share domain as a second block size, wherein the second block size is not equal to the first block size. If a block size of a second file system is the second block size, the share domain is migrated from the first file system to the second file system. By implementing the present application, it is possible to simplify user operations, improve operational convenience, and help to reduce storage space fragments and indirect blocks, thereby further improving the performance of a storage system.

Abstract: An exercise recommendation system determines a current capability of a user. The exercise recommendation system accesses an exercise history for a user. The exercise history comprises an exercise performed by the user and a capability of the user each time the user performed the exercise. The exercise recommendation system partitions the exercise history into a plurality of time periods, and, for each time period, computes an aggregate capability of the user for the exercise during the time period. The exercise recommendation system calculates a moving average capability of the user for the exercise based on the aggregate capabilities and determines a current capability of the user for the exercise based on the moving average capability. The current capability of the user may be discounted at least in part based on how recently the user performed the exercise.

Abstract: An exercise recommendation system determines recommended weights for users to perform exercises with. The exercise recommendation system accesses a plurality of exercise pairs, each labeled with performance statistics of users who performed the exercises. Each exercise in an exercise pair is associated with a weight. The exercise recommendation system trains a machine learning model on the plurality of exercise pairs to determine a weight to recommend to a user for a first exercise based on performance statistics of the user associated with one or more second exercises, which are each in an exercise pair with the first exercise. The exercise recommendation system retrieves performance statistics of a target user including weights for exercises previously performed by the target user. The exercise recommendation system applies the machine learning model to the performance statistics to determine a target weight to recommend and modifies a user interface to include the target weight.

Abstract: An exercise recommendation system determines workout plans for users. The exercise recommendation system receives a profile of a user and a level of variance selected by the user. The profile includes a history of exercises the user has performed, available gym equipment, and exercise goals. The exercise recommendation system inputs the profile to a machine learning model configured to rank a set of exercises for a user to perform. The exercise recommendation system modifies the ranking of exercises based on the level of variance selected by the user. Modification of the ranking is greater for a first level of variance than for a second level of variance less than the first level of variance. The exercise recommendation system generates a workout plan for display within a user interface to the user based on the modified ranking.
