The system generates a multicast tree, at the controller server, and communicates a network configuration message to at least one packet forwarding system of a first plurality of packet forwarding systems to enable communication of the multicast traffic for the first multicast group over a portion of the multicast tree.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for distributing network address translation (NAT) operations to a plurality of network devices on a network. One method includes an operation for identifying, by a controller that controls a network fabric, a plurality of switches in the network fabric, each switch having a module for NAT and being configured to forward packets received at the switch. The controller identifies hosts having at least one internal Internet Protocol (IP) address, and for each of the hosts, the controller selects one of the switches from the plurality of switches for performing the NAT for the host. Further, the controller configures the network fabric to cause the selected switch to perform the NAT for the host to enable the host to communicate with an external network. In case of switch failure, the system reallocates NAT loads to other switches for high availability.

Abstract: An exemplary compounding method of controlling a compounding device to prepare an admixture of at least two distinct material sources can include examining material source solutions for incompatibility of the ingredients and operating a first and a second pump to prevent one of the incompatible source solutions from entering a common flow path.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a deep learning model that can be used for performing speech or image processing tasks. The model uses multi-task training, where the model is trained for at least two inter-related tasks. For face detection, the first task is face detection (i.e. face or non-face) and the second task is facial feature identification (i.e. mouth, eyes, nose). The multi-task model improves the accuracy of the task over single-task models.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a GPU-accelerated speech recognition engine optimized for faster than real time speech recognition on a scalable server-client heterogeneous CPU-GPU architecture, which is specifically optimized to simultaneously decode multiple users in real-time. In order to efficiently support real-time speech recognition for multiple users, a “producer/consumer” design pattern is applied to decouple speech processes that run at different rates in order to handle multiple processes at the same time. Furthermore, the speech recognition process is divided into multiple consumers in order to maximize hardware utilization. As a result, the platform architecture is able to process more than 45 real-time audio streams with an average latency of less than 0.3 seconds using one-million-word vocabulary language models.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is method of performing speech recognition using audio and visual information, where the visual information provides data related to a person's face. Image preprocessing identifies regions of interest, which is then combined with the audio data before being processed by a speech recognition engine.
