Abstract: There is provided a neural network processor system including: a plurality of neural processing units, including a first neural processing unit and a second neural processing unit, whereby each neural processing unit comprises an array of neural processing core blocks, each neural processing core block comprising a neural processing core; and at least one central processing unit communicatively coupled to the plurality of neural processing units and configured to coordinate the plurality of neural processing units for performing neural network computations. In particular, the first and second neural processing units have a different structural configuration to each other. There is also provided a corresponding method of operating and a corresponding method of forming the neural network processor system.

Abstract: A method and system of authentication for accessing one or more applications by a user by using a personal object belonging to the user. Such a personal object is one that is already in use by the user for purposes other than accessing the one or more applications.

Abstract: A mechanism for strengthening authentication credentials for accessing any number of applications across multiple access interfaces and across multiple remote access sites is disclosed. The applications can be accessed by a set of authorized users by using multiple instances of a predictive scheme for generating and synchronizing the authentication credentials and by leveraging pre-existing infrastructure associated with the applications.

Abstract: A method of authentication that provides the security of a challenge response authentication is described. The method is compatible with an existing infrastructure password-based authentication.

Abstract: Applications are created having remote data sources linked to data objects on storage media such as CD-ROMs. These data objects are linked transparently to remote sources and updated automatically. An agent--based LiveServer accepts connections from at least one LivePlayer which may be linked to the invention remotely by a direct network link or a modem dial out to the terminal server to which the LiveServer is connected. When the LivePlayer fetches a resource from the network it shall first post its universal resource locator (URL) to the LiveServer. The LiveServer scans a translation table of alternative addresses for the URL. The LiveServer returns either an original or translated URL to the LivePlayer which then uses this URL to check its local hard disk cache to determine if the resource has been fetched earlier. If no such resource exists on the local cache the LivePlayer fetches the media from the remote site via the appropriate network protocol.
