Abstract: A plurality of processors and routers are mounted on a scalable, modular, polyhedral cluster, creating a mixed hypercube-toroid network. The architecture scales in a lattice model. Therefore within each cluster, the routers are capable of routing messages in hypercube topologies of at least up to six dimensions, and continue by extension to the next cluster on the scaling lattice. Also described herein are various network routing paths derived from one topological embodiment, a cuboctahedron+centroid interconnect, which optimize network traffic for distributed computing, and shared memory applications. Also described herein are mechanical polyhedral scaffoldings for mounting and connecting processors or single board computers. The processor configurations enable function-follows-form computing.

Abstract: Described herein is an autonomous vehicle collision avoidance system designed to detect and deter animals from the road. An automotive ‘deer whistle’ is integrated into an autonomous sensor suite. The sensor suite detects animals using cameras, identifies them and their hearing range using machine learning algorithms, and deters them by emitting animal-specific sound pulses. The system also notifies the driver, may trigger a braking or honking sequence, adjusts subsequent noise emissions based on animal feedback, and collect data on collisions or near collisions for analysis at a central repository. Also described herein is a business model to encourage consumer adoption of the device, wherein the device is distributed to consumers as insurance policy incentive.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to high performance computers and datacenter environments. A self-supporting communication network includes multiple nodes, which are arranged in a polyhedral cluster, which can also be described by a networking topology. The nodes are configured to convey data traffic between source hosts and respective destination hosts by routing packets among the nodes in the shortest possible time, and with a substantially greater number of nearest network connections, for the given level of network load and contention. A routing algorithm describes this traffic. Polyhedral clusters may be close-packed into a lattice, creating a scalable exascale computer, which self-supporting, thus requiring no external racks or exoskeleton. Various configurations of close-packed lattices of polyhedral clusters may enhance different compute workloads. The cluster may also disassemble and reassemble, without requiring an extensive data center environment.
