  • Patent number: 11983566
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for scheduling deep learning tasks in hardware are described. One accelerator circuit includes multiple fixed-function circuits that each processes a different layer type of a neural network. A scheduler circuit receives state information associated with a respective layer being processed by a respective fixed-function circuit and dependency information that indicates a layer dependency condition for the respective layer. The scheduler circuit determines that the layer dependency condition is satisfied using the state information and the dependency information and enables the fixed-function circuit to process the current layer at the respective fixed-function circuit.

  • Patent number: 10989484
    Abstract: Disclosed is an installation for generating electricity from a heat source, for disconnecting the production of electricity from the source of heat. The main characteristic of such installation is that it includes a thermochemical storage device coupled to a power cycle, the storage device consisting of a reactor in which produces a reversible sorption process and an evaporator and a condenser, at least one of the components of the thermochemical device being coupled mass and/or thermal to at least one element of the power cycle.

  • Patent number: 10049176
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining characteristics of orifices (O1, . . . , O9) to be made through a plate (2) positioned in a circuit (10) across the fluid passage. Said method comprises defining fluid data, the number of orifices, and for each orifice a control segment or area. The fluid flow rate through each orifice of the perforated plate is calculated, and for each orifice, the flow rate density is calculated by dividing said fluid flow rate by the associated control segment length or control area. The optimized or non-optimized nature of the orifice characteristic is determined by comparing said flow rate density with the mean flow rate density. If the difference in absolute value lies within a predetermined range of values, then the orifice characteristics are considered as being optimized. Otherwise at least one characteristic of at least some of the orifices is modified.
