  • Computer architecture based on program/workload profiling
    Patent number: 11392355
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining an appropriate FPGA for a particular computer program. An embodiment operates by a central processing unit's counter identifying a plurality of workload properties in processing a computer program, wherein the central processing unit is part of a first computer architecture. The central processing unit then sends the workload properties to a controller trained to identify a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) module based on the plurality of workload properties. The central processing unit thereafter receives a recommended FPGA module from the controller and implements the recommended FPGA module in a computer architecture for processing the computer program, whereby the second computer architecture is able to perform the computer program more efficiently than the first computer architecture.

  • Resource efficient computer-implemented surgical resource allocation system and method
    Patent number: 11393581
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a surgical resource allocation system. Patients seeking a procedure can use the system to identify surgeons and surgical facilities. The patient can then use the system to book the procedure with a selected surgeon at a selected facility. In an example, a patient can indicate a need for a certain procedure. The patient can then provide criteria for a surgeon or facility, such as a desired location, desired time, surgeon rankings, and facility rankings. The system can then identify surgeons and facilities that match the criteria and present them for selection by the patient. The patient can then select the surgeon and facility with which the patient would like the procedure performed. With the surgeon and facility selected, the patient can then choose to book the procedure.
