  • Patent number: 11726903
    Abstract: A framework, such as for automated testing for telecommunications software and resources is disclosed that reuses code modules, thereby reducing redundancy and increasing efficiency and productivity. The zero coding automation system disclosed herein provides an end-to-end automation framework, which minimizes (and in some cases eliminates) the requirement to write software code, e.g. to test software modules. Instead, the coding automation systems and methods provide a hierarchical framework to translate requests (e.g. testing commands, statements, and so on) received in a natural language (for example, English) to testing code modules written in, for example, one or more programming languages (for example, tool specific Application Program Interface (API)/libraries developed to test functionality).

  • Patent number: 11714630
    Abstract: A method is provided for adding a sensor monitoring feature of a newly-added sensor to a system monitoring feature provided by a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC stores a BMC firmware that contains a main program, a sensor library and a sensor data record. The BMC updates the sensor library to a target sensor library that includes identification information of the additional sensor, and functions used to execute the sensor monitoring feature of the additional sensor. By executing the main program, the BMC loads the target sensor library, and adds the identification information of the additional sensor to the sensor data record.

  • Patent number: 11669314
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to high-level synthesis (HLS) platforms, and, more particularly, enable print functionality in high-level synthesis (HLS) platforms. The recent availability FPGA-HLS is a great success due to availability of compilers for FPGAs as opposed to hardware description languages (HDLs) that requires special skills. However, the compilers within the HLS design platform includes limited support for all the standard libraries, wherein features like print functionality is not supported. The invention discloses techniques to enable print functionality in HLS design platforms based on source-to-source transformations and stream combining scheme. In addition to enabling print functionality, the invention also discloses a formatter technique to receive-format FPGA data into human interpretable data.

  • Patent number: 11615322
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a compiler for optimizing the implementation of a machine-trained network (e.g., a neural network) on an integrated circuit (IC). The compiler of some embodiments receives a specification of a machine-trained network including multiple layers of computation nodes and generates a graph representing options for implementing the machine-trained network in the IC. In some embodiments, the graph includes nodes representing options for implementing each layer of the machine-trained network and edges between nodes for different layers representing different implementations that are compatible. The compiler of some embodiments is also responsible for generating instructions relating to shutting down (and waking up) memory units of cores. In some embodiments, the memory units to shutdown are determined by the compiler based on the data that is stored or will be stored in the particular memory units.

  • Patent number: 11614925
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a data model infrastructure is implemented as a service rather than as an always-running server. Specifically, one of the technical issues with past implementations is that the data models are deployed onto a server that is intended to be “always running”, even if there are no requests to the server. This utilizes memory and processing power. While it may be useful to have an always running server for commonly used applications, for applications that are infrequently used (e.g., 10 times a month), it can mean that memory and processing power is wasted. Thus, by implementing the data model infrastructure as a service rather than an always-running server, the service can be launched only when actually needed, saving both memory and processing power.

  • Patent number: 11586524
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for improving distributed monitoring using different groups of remote devices. In some implementations, a system communicates with a set of remote devices involved in a first monitoring program that involves collection of data from the remote devices over a communication network. The system identifies a pattern or similarity among monitoring data collected from a subset of the remote devices involved in the first monitoring program. The system determines that the identified pattern or similarity satisfies one or more criteria for initiating additional monitoring. In response, the system determines parameters specifying second types of data to collect in a second monitoring program. The system configures one or more devices to perform monitoring for the second monitoring program including acquiring data for the second types of data and providing the acquired data to a server over the communication network.

  • Patent number: 11556314
    Abstract: A mixed mode programming method permitting users to program with graphical coding blocks and textual code within the same programming tool. The mixed mode preserves the advantages of graphical block programming while introducing textual coding as needed for instructional reasons and/or for functional reasons. Converting a graphical code block or group of blocks to a textual block lets the user see a portion of the textual code in the context of a larger program. Within one programming tool the mixed mode method allows users to learn programming and build purely graphical blocks; then transition into mixed graphical and textual code and ultimately lead to their ability to program in purely textual code. The mixed mode further allows users to program using any combination of drag-and-drop graphical blocks and typed textual code in various forms.
