Abstract: A data management system (DMS) may facilitate an investigation procedure for a set of one or more virtual machines (VMs) hosted in a first environment. The DMS may receive an indication of a selection of one or more sets of VMs and corresponding snapshots for the investigation procedure. The corresponding snapshots may be stored in a second environment, and each snapshot may be associated with a version of a respective set of VMs. The DMS may mount the one or more sets of VMs to one or more testing environments different than the first and second environments. The mounting may use the snapshots stored in the second environment to provide the testing environments with query access to respective versions of the sets of VMs hosted in the first environment. The DMS may perform query operations between the first environment and the testing environments as part of the investigation procedure.

The motor driving circuit includes a logic module and a push-pull module, a channel selection module, an instruction recognition module, and an isolating switch module. An input signal is outputted by the logic module and the push-pull module to control the motor. The channel selection module is configured to select a channel for the input signal to make the input signal to be connected to the isolating switch module or the instruction recognition module, or disconnected. The instruction recognition module is configured to perform a corresponding operation on the isolating switch module according to an inputted instruction. The isolating switch module is configured to receive an instruction of the channel selection module and an instruction of the instruction recognition module to connect or disconnect the logic module.

Abstract: A computing system for performing distributed large scale reinforcement learning with improved efficiency can include a plurality of actor devices, wherein each actor device locally stores a local version of a machine-learned model, wherein each actor device is configured to implement the local version of the machine-learned model at the actor device to determine an action to take in an environment to generate an experience, a server computing system configured to perform one or more learning algorithms to learn an updated version of the machine-learned model based on the experiences generated by the plurality of actor devices, and a hierarchical and distributed data caching system including a plurality of layers of data caches that propagate data descriptive of the updated version of the machine-learned model from the server computing system to the plurality of actor devices to enable each actor device to update its respective local version of the model.

Abstract: An electronic circuit comprising an SRAM memory, a control unit, an error detection and correction module and a scrubbing module. The electronic circuit further comprises an integrated SEU monitor of the SRAM memory. The SEU monitor does not use standalone or specialized SRAM memories or particle detectors. Rather, the same SRAM memory that is used for the main operation as a storage element of the electronic circuit serves simultaneously as detector for the SEU monitor. The proposed SEU monitor enables real-time monitoring of the SEU rate in order to detect early the high radiation levels and apply appropriate hardening measures. Furthermore, a method for monitoring an SEU rate and determining permanent faults in an electronic circuit is suggested.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method, system and apparatus for searching for a user in a social network. A client obtains geographical position information of a user of the client after detecting that the user of the client transmits a searching command, and transmits a searching request to a server, wherein the searching request at least includes the obtained geographical position information of the user and a user identifier of the user. The server receives the searching request, determines whether there is a piece of searching request information satisfying a requirement in various pieces of searching request information previously stored, and returns information related with a user corresponding to the piece of the searching request information satisfying the requirement to the client if there is the piece of the searching request information satisfying the requirement. Thus, validity of a searching result can be improved.
