Publication number: 20240070326Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to translate hash-based signature signals for machine learning applications. In one example, the apparatus includes a processor to execute instructions to determine an element count for a plurality of hash elements of a locality sensitivity hash, preserve ones of hash elements of the plurality of hash elements that satisfy an element count threshold, and produce a cluster of encoded feature vectors of the preserved ones of the hash elements. The processor further to execute instructions to determine an occurrence frequency of hash elements in the cluster and create a synthetic hash of the cluster based on a subset of the hash elements in the cluster that satisfy an occurrence frequency threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: GERMAN LANCIONI, STEVE GROBMAN, JONATHAN KING

Method and system for decreasing routing latency for switching platforms with variable configuration
Patent number: 7912053Abstract: A method for decreasing routing latency of a switching platform comprises identifying ports which have changed their operational state and modifying the port polling code associated with the respective ports so that operational ports are polled for frames to be routed, while non-operational ports are not polled. In one embodiment, the method is implemented in a fiber channel switch. Non-operational ports are identified as having operational states below a pre-determined threshold level of functionality. The polling code for the ports is modified while polling operations are carried out in the switch. The code for a newly operational port is modified by copying into the code one or more instructions that poll the port for a frame and routes the frame. The code for a newly non-operational port is modified by copying into the code a branch instruction that bypasses the remainder of the polling code for the port.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Crossroads Systems, Inc.Inventors: Steve King, Chiayin Mao, Thomas W.
