Publication number: 20210224710Abstract: Systems and methods for use in scheduling processes for execution on one or more data processors. A centralized governor module manages scheduling processes requesting access to one or more data processors. Each process is associated with a project and each project is allocated a computing budget. Once a process has been scheduled, a cost for that scheduling is subtracted from the associated projects computing budget. Each process is also associated with a specific process agent that, when requested by the governor module, provides the necessary data and parameters for the process. The governor module can thus implement multiple scheduling algorithms based on changing conditions and on optimizing changing loss functions. A log module logs all data relating to the scheduling as well as the costs, execution time, and utilization of the various data processors. The data in the logs can thus be used for analyzing the effectiveness of various scheduling algorithms.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2019Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: Element AI Inc.Inventors: Jeremy BARNES, Philippe MATHIEU, Jean RABY, Simon BELANGER, Francois-Michel L'HEUREUX

Patent number: 11039198Abstract: Courier electronic devices are used to transport seat video display unit (SVDU) operating system (OS) code updates from a content operation center to onboard a vehicle. The OS code used by the SVDUs is updated based on the OS code update to generate an updated OS code, which is used to curate entertainment content files from a mass storage device for selection among by passengers for their consumption through the SVDUs. Entertainment content files may also be selected by the content operation center based on passenger characteristic information and loaded onto the courier electronic devices for transport onboard the vehicle for transfer to the SVDUs to update the entertainment content that is made available for selection by the passengers. The courier electronic devices may be used to facilitate transportation of other information between the SVDUs in the content operation center.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Thales Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Yves Couleaud, François Michel
