Abstract: The present invention provides a method for planning a shortest possible three-dimensional path for autonomous flying robots to traverse from one location to the other in a geographical region, including translating a three-dimensional (3D) environment, discretizing the 3D environment into a graph of many grid cells or nodes, employing a modified any-angle path planning algorithm to calculate non-uniform traversal cost of each grid cell and by averaging the total traversal costs along the path to shorten the corresponding computation time, whilst incorporating operational costs other than the traversal cost specific to the autonomous flying robots to be traversed. The shortest possible path found by the present method does not only consider the path length, but also takes different costs of traversing and operating the flying robots into account, which increases its feasibility and flexibility to be applied in a wide variety of situations and technological areas.

Abstract: This application discloses a network adapter, a computing device, and a data acquisition method, and relates to the field of high-performance computing. A receiving node and a sending node communicate with each other through a message passing interface (MPI). After acquiring a tag generated by a main processor of the receiving node, a network adapter of the receiving node performs tag matching based on the tag and tags included in first information. If the tag matching succeeds, data corresponding to the tag is sent to the main processor. The tag indicates a send message sent by the sending node. In this way, a tag matching operation performed when the receiving node acquires data can be unloaded to the network adapter, and computing resources of the main processor in the receiving node can be released.
