Abstract: A guided cold-atom inertial sensor system comprises an atom trap integrated platform, a laser system, a magnetic field system, a control system, and a computing system. The laser system and magnetic field system are adapted to form a magneto-optical trap (MOT) about a suspended waveguide of the atom trap integrated platform made of membrane integrated photonics. After loading cold atoms from a MOT, the photonic atom trap integrated platform generates one-dimensional guided atoms with an evanescent field optical dipole trap (EF-ODT) along the optical waveguide to create guided atomic accelerometers/gyroscopes. Motion of atomic wavepackets in a superposition state is created along the guided atom geometry by way of state-dependent momentum kicks. The light-pulse sequence of guided atom interferometry splits, redirects, and recombines atomic wavepackets, which allows measurement of atom interference fringes sensitive to inertial forces via a probe laser.

The critical features of the method includes: calculating a memory size for every operation in a computational graph, storing the operations in the computational graph in multiple groups with the operations in each group being executable in parallel and a total memory size less than a memory threshold of a computational device, sequentially selecting a group and updating a prefetched group buffer, and simultaneously executing the group and prefetching data for a group in the prefetched group buffer to the corresponding computational device when the prefetched group buffer is update. Because of group execution and data prefetch, the memory utilization is optimized and the throughput is significantly increased to eliminate issues of out-of-memory and thrashing.
