Abstract: Systems and methods described herein allow a configurable policy for managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to be implemented by Power Sourcing Equipments (PSEs) across a network. The policy specifies a set of rules for prioritizing power distribution over Ethernet for the computer network. When Powered Devices (PDs) are connected via Ethernet cables to the PSEs, the PDs send identification information about themselves (e.g., device type and location) to the PSEs. The PSEs assign priority levels to the PDs by electronically comparing the identification information to the set of rules. When a present level of available power is insufficient to power all the PDs via PoE, the PSEs use the priority levels to determine which PDs to power down.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for multi-task structural learning in artificial neural network in which both the architecture and its parameters are learned simultaneously. The method utilizes two neural operators, namely, neuron creation and neuron removal, to aid in structural learning. The method creates excess neurons by starting from a disparate network for each task. Through the progress of training, corresponding task neurons in a layer pave the way for a specialized group neuron leading to a structural change. In the task learning phase of training, different neurons specialize in different tasks. In the interleaved structural learning phase, locally similar task neurons, before being removed, transfer their knowledge to a newly created group neuron. The training is completed with a final fine-tuning phase where only the multi-task loss is used.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for utilizing a new memory allocation function library called PmemMalloc. For example, the PmemMalloc library allocates pre-allocated, partitioned, and fixed shared memory blocks. In addition, by utilizing the PmemMalloc library, the memory allocation system described herein overcomes problems with persistence and enumeration that encumber existing malloc libraries. Indeed, the PmemMalloc library enables the memory allocation system to perform servicing computation in parallel across multiple CPU cores/threads, distribute computation equally among threads, prioritize servicing, among other improvements. Notably, the PmemMalloc library provides major constructs (e.g., persistence, enumeration, and debuggability) not available existing malloc libraries.
