Patent number: 11625605Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to optimize kernel selection for performing a computation. In at least one embodiment, a neural network is trained and utilized to generate a list of kernels so that an (e.g., optimal) kernel may be identified. The neural network receives characteristics of the input matrices and determines relevancy scores for a list of possible kernels. Based on an ordered listing of kernels by relevant score, a kernel is selected from the list and utilized to perform the computation and provide the result.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Jonathan Edward Barker, Christopher Thomas Cheng, Paul Martin Springer, Wojciech Jablonski

Publication number: 20220335499Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for facilitating comparison of gemstones having multiple attributes that characterize the gemstones. A facilitated comparison system receives from a user a selection of a gemstone in a collection of the gemstones. Each gemstone in the collection is associated with a selling index indicating a probability of the gemstone being bought by a customer. For each of a predetermined set of the attributes, the system determines one or more comparable ranges. The system identifies alternate gemstones to recommend using the comparable ranges for the attributes and the selling indices of the gemstones. The system displays to the user the selected gemstone and one or more of the alternate gemstones for comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Andrew Caples, Martin Springer, Amanda Johns, Saurabh Verma, Andrew Layman, Akhil Gupta

Patent number: 9103492Abstract: Disclosed is an adjustable holder for devices with a simplified design for accommodating devices of various form factors and shapes. The adjustable holder comprises at least a pair of offset, generally parallel arms that are slidable within corresponding openings of a support in order to adjust the arms and fixedly position the arms at varying distances relative to the support. The adjustable holder further comprises a gripping member coupled to a distal end of each of the arms to grip a device at opposing sides of the device. In some embodiments, the arms are adjustable via a two-part ratcheting mechanism. In yet other embodiments, the gripping members are rotatable to accommodate devices of various geometries. The holder can fit onto a stand or structure to hold a device in a fixed position.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Stand For Stuff LLCInventors: Martin A. Springer, Matthew L Arksey, Jedediah J McCann, Jake Levine
