  • Publication number: 20260349929
    Abstract: A processor – such as within a system-on-a-chip (SoC) – can keep memory work for different machine safety functions from interfering with each other. When the processor receives memory requests from different functions, it checks an identifier for each request that indicates the request’s associated safety level. Based on that identifier, the processor sends each request to a separate memory manager assigned to that safety level. By using different memory managers for different safety levels, the processor can handle memory operations for one safety function without disrupting memory operations for another safety function.

  • Publication number: 20260350911
    Abstract: In examples, the number of rays used to sample lighting conditions of a light source in a virtual environment with respect to particular locations in the virtual environment may be adapted to scene conditions. An additional ray(s) may be used for locations that tend to be associated with visual artifacts in rendered images. A determination may be made on whether to cast an additional ray(s) to a light source for a location and/or a quantity of rays to cast. To make the determination variables such as visibilities and/or hit distances of ray-traced samples of the light source may be analyzed for related locations in the virtual environment, such as those in a region around the location (e.g., within an N-by-N kernel centered at the location). Factors may include variability in visibilities and/or hit distances, differences between visibilities and/or hit distances relative to the location, and magnitudes of hit distances.

  • Publication number: 20260349958
    Abstract: A processor can update data by using many small processing elements that work together. Each processing element can receive data for one data element, use nearby data from one or more other data elements, and follow instruction data telling it what operation to perform. The processing element then calculates an updated value and outputs data for that updated value. This allows an array of processing elements, such as in an accelerator, to efficiently perform operations that depend on both a data element and surrounding data elements, such as image filtering or other complex data-processing tasks.

  • Patent number: 12783937
    Abstract: In various examples, a representative subset of data points are queried or selected using integer programming to minimize the Wasserstein distance between the selected data points and the data set from which they were selected. A Generalized Benders Decomposition (GBD) may be used to decompose and iteratively solve the minimization problem, providing a globally optimal solution (an identified subset of data points that match the distribution of their data set) within a threshold tolerance. Data selection may be accelerated by applying one or more constraints while iterating, such as optimality cuts that leverage properties of the Wasserstein distance and/or pruning constraints that reduce the search space of candidate data points. In an active learning implementation, a representative subset of unlabeled data points may be selected using GBD, labeled, and used to train machine learning model(s) over one or more cycles of active learning.

  • Patent number: 12786309
    Abstract: Approaches of the disclosure are directed towards the intelligent management of notifications. Notifications can be intelligently managed across digital devices by contextualizing and prioritizing notifications to, for example, match a current state or situation of a user. Incoming notifications may be contextualized by analyzing their content and sources, such as by using large language models. Such an approach may further take into account the user's current status, including factors such as location, activity, and personal preferences, as may be obtained from various sources or learned over time. Preferences or appropriate delivery methods can be learned by observing and/or analyzing user interactions associated with previously-presented notifications and adjusting the delivery methods for subsequent notifications, which may involve suppressing the notification, presenting immediately, changing an alert type, or altering content for presentation.
