Publication number: 20260267687Abstract: A compiler may identify tensor operations in a deep learning model. For each tensor operation, the compiler may generate schedules arranged in a hierarchical structure. The compiler may select one or more schedules from the lowest level of the hierarchical structure by inputting the schedules at the lowest level and optionally other data into a trained model. The trained model may output a selection of one or more schedules. After selecting schedules for the tensor operations, the compiler may generate a graph including edges representing connections between the schedules. Each edge connects a schedule for a producing tensor operation to a schedule for a consuming tensor operation. The compiler may determine a weight for each edge and select a path based on the weights of the edges. The schedules along the path constitute a combined schedule to be used to transform loops of the deep learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: September 10, 2026Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Hongbo Rong, Mingzhe Zhang, Evangelos Georganas, Alexander Heinecke, Lorenzo Chelini, Renato Golin, Kavitha Madhu, Xin Chen, Sasikanth Avancha, Niranjan Hasabnis, Hans Pabst

The prediction engine computes prediction of non-volatile memory addresses that will be accessed in the future based on the stored access history table. The prediction engine causes to store the data from the predicted addresses of the non-volatile memory in the volatile memory. The memory device stores the prediction in the non-volatile memory so the past predictions can be used after restarting the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2022Date of Patent: September 8, 2026Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Chace A.

Patent number: 12731488Abstract: System and techniques to manage vehicles as part of a vehicle data center are described herein. Vehicle management may include the acquisition of a virtual instance definition for the vehicle data center, which outlines the parking spaces that make up the virtual instance and required hardware specifications. Upon detection of an incoming or present vehicle at the parking facility, the vehicle computing capabilities are evaluated. If these capabilities align with those by the virtual instance definition, the vehicle may be assigned to that virtual instance. If assigned, the vehicle is instructed to occupy a designated parking spot, as per the virtual instance definition, where the vehicle will contribute on-board hardware to perform tasks that are either currently running or scheduled to run on the vehicle data center virtual instance.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2024Date of Patent: September 8, 2026Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Akhilesh S.

Patent number: 12732867Abstract: The present disclosure describes edge computing over disaggregated radio access network (RAN) infrastructure through dynamic edge data extraction. Edge data is extracted at intermediate stages of RAN processing, provided to edge compute functions, and inserted back into the RAN processing pipeline. These mechanisms allow for the processing of edge data traffic much closer to the data source than existing approaches, which decreases the overall latency and delay. Additionally, these mechanisms do not require changes to already existing network protocols, allowing for non-complex adoption and implementation.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2022Date of Patent: September 8, 2026Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Akhilesh Thyagaturu, Mohit Garg, Vinodh Gopal, Ned M.
