Abstract: A student model may be trained in two stages by using two teacher models, respectively. The first teacher model has been trained with a pretraining dataset. The second teacher model has been trained with a training dataset that is specific to a task to be performed by the student model. In the first stage, the student model may be generated based on a structure of the first teacher model. Internal parameters of the student model are adjusted through a pretraining process based on the first teacher model and the pretraining dataset. Weights of the student model may be pruned during the pretraining process. In the second stage, a sparsity mask is generated for the student model to lock the sparsity pattern generated from the first stage. Further, some of the internal parameters of the student model are modified based on the second teacher model and the training dataset.

Abstract: Live objects in heap memory exceeding a threshold size and that have not been recently accessed are compressed or offloaded to secondary memory or storage. Compressing or offloading an object can further be based on how old the object is, which can be determined based on how many garbage collections the object has survived. Objects comprising references to other objects can be split into two sub-objects, one containing value fields that is compressed or offloaded and one containing reference fields that remains uncompressed in heap memory. Heap memory can undergo compaction after objects are compressed or offloaded. Compression accelerators can be used for compression and the decision of whether to compress or offload an object can be based on accelerator throughput, latency, availability, as well as other computing system metrics or characteristics. The compressing and offloading of objects and subsequent compaction can make more heap memory available for object allocation.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a telemetry redundant measurement avoidance protocol (TRMAP) that solves redundant data collection problems in telemetry systems. The TRMAP can operate in a non-supervised environment and/or in a distributed manner, and does not require a central controller to manage multiple collection agents in one or multiple telemetry systems. The TRMAP can also be an opt-in-based protocol that favors altruistic data sharing and reuse between collection agents. In these ways, the TRMAP provides freedom and collaboration among developers or other entities that desired telemetry data, while allowing non-compliant collection agents to coexist, if possible.

Abstract: In a multitenant environment, confidential containers for the tenant having a trusted execution environment (TEE) which have security attested, can share data within the pod or between pods. The ability to share data for confidential containers of the same tenant eliminates the need to have multiple copies for different confidential containers. Thus, a storage device can store shared data specific to a tenant of the multitenant environment, and a caching service backed by protected hardware can manage access to the shared data. Management of the shared data can include attesting a key for a confidential container to verify that the confidential container is part of the TEE for a pod for the tenant, and access the shared data from the storage device for the confidential container based on the attested key.

The technology executes a training process on the neural network to adjust the cache policy based on the number of the cache hits.
