Publication number: 20230385262Abstract: A method performs large-scale data processing in a distributed and parallel processing environment. The method defines application-independent map and reduce operations, each invoking one or more library functions that automatically handle data partitioning, parallelization of computations, and fault tolerance. A user specifies a map operation, which calls one or more of the application-independent map operators to perform data read and write operations. A user also specifies a reduce operation, which calls one or more of the application-independent reduce operators to perform data read and write operations. The method executes application-independent map worker processes. Each map worker process executes the user-specified map operation to read designated portions of input files and store intermediate data values in intermediate data structures. The method also executes application-independent reduce worker processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat

Publication number: 20230341692Abstract: Display devices include waveguides with in-coupling optical elements that mitigate re-bounce of in-coupled light to improve overall in-coupling efficiency and/or uniformity. A waveguide receives light from a light source and/or projection optics and includes an in-coupling optical element that in-couples the received light to propagate by total internal reflection in a propagation direction within the waveguide. Once in-coupled into the waveguide the light may undergo re-bounce, in which the light reflects off a waveguide surface and, after the reflection, strikes the in-coupling optical element. Upon striking the in-coupling optical element, the light may be partially absorbed and/or out-coupled by the optical element, thereby effectively reducing the amount of in-coupled light propagating through the waveguide.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Dean SCHMULEN, Neal Paul RICKS, Samarth BHARGAVA, Kevin MESSER, Victor Kai LIU, Matthew Grant DIXON, Xiaopei DENG, Marlon Edward MENEZES, Shuqiang YANG, Vikramjit SINGH, Kang LUO, Frank Y.
