  • Patent number: 11609774
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for providing an ultra-high availability cloud emulator of an entity's data in a multi-tenant SaaS environment that is not controlled by the entity. The system extracts metadata related to the entity's data and user interface in the multi-tenant SaaS environment. The metadata is used to identify and extract data records for an entity from the multi-tenant SaaS environment, as well as to ascertain functional aspects of the entity user interface in the multi-tenant SaaS environment. A cloud emulator of the entity's data records and user interface in the multi-tenant SaaS environment is created using the extracted data records and metadata, where the cloud emulator is outside the multi-tenant SaaS environment. The entity is able to access the cloud emulator at the entity's discretion as a failover for the entity's data records in the multi-tenant SaaS environment and to modify the entity's data records in the cloud emulator.

  • Patent number: 11568200
    Abstract: Techniques are presented for accelerating in-memory matrix multiplication operations for a convolution neural network (CNN) inference in which the weights of a filter are stored in the memory of a storage class memory device, such as a ReRAM or phase change memory based device. To improve performance for inference operations when filters exhibit sparsity, a zero column index and a zero row index are introduced to account for columns and rows having all zero weight values. These indices can be saved in a register on the memory device and when performing a column/row oriented matrix multiplication, if the zero row/column index indicates that the column/row contains all zero weights, the access of the corresponding bit/word line is skipped as the result will be zero regardless of the input.
