    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to recommend instruction adaptations to improve compute performance are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a pattern detector to detect an execution pattern from an execution profile provided by a server, the execution profile associated with an instruction stored in an instruction repository. An adaptation identifier is to identify a possible instruction adaptation that may be applied to the instruction associated with the execution pattern. A model processor is to predict, using a machine learning model, an expected performance improvement of the adaptation. A result comparator is to determine whether the expected performance improvement meets an threshold. An instruction editor is to, in response to the result comparator determining that the expected performance improvement meets the threshold, apply the possible instruction adaptation to the instruction in the instruction repository.

  • Patent number: 11327876
    Abstract: In some examples, a server receives configuration data from a device. The server receives a software or firmware update from a vendor and determines, based on the configuration data, that the update is installable on the device. The server creates and configures a container, based on the configuration data, to create a replica of the device. The server installs the update in the replica and performs multiple tests that generate logs. If the logs indicate that the update caused no issues, the server sends the update to the device. If the logs indicate that the update caused an issue, the server sends the update to the vendor. In response, the server receives, from the vendor, a modified update that addresses the issue, installs the modified update in the replica, performs the tests, determines that the modified update causes no issues, and sends the modified update to the device.
