Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a silicone hemispherical dome and an omnidirectional optical system. The dome includes a surface including a reflective silver-film layer. The optical system includes a lens including multiple lens elements with the first lens element in direct contact with the hemispherical dome without airgap. The lens is configured to capture scattering of internal incident light generated by the reflective silver-film layer. The optical system also includes an image sensor configured to generate image data from data captured by the lens. The system also includes non-image sensors.

Abstract: The disclosed device may include a wireless interface for receiving a time signal, an oscillator, and a processor. The processor may determine, using the oscillator and the time signal, a precise time, and synchronize with one or more remote devices using the precise time. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A mechanism for thermal testing is described. A test vehicle includes a heating element, a thermal sensor and a processor. The processor is configured to control the heating element to output an amount of the energy per unit time. Temperature readings are received using the thermal sensor. A thermal property associated with a thermal mass is determined based at least in part the amount of the energy output and the received temperature readings.

Abstract: A request to perform a compute task is received. A plurality of compute processor resources eligible to perform the compute task is identified, wherein the plurality of compute processor resources includes two or more of the following: a field-programmable gate array, an application-specific integrated circuit, a graphics processing unit, or a central processing unit. Based on an optimization metric, one of the compute processor resources is dynamically selected to perform the compute task.

Abstract: Utilization metrics associated with a plurality of eligible compute tasks executable on a plurality of field-programmable gate arrays are determined. The utilization metrics are evaluated to dynamically identify a reallocation of an identified field-programmable gate array resource of the field-programmable gate arrays to handle a selected eligible compute task of the eligible compute tasks. The identified field-programmable gate array resource is automatically reprogrammed to handle the selected eligible compute task.
