Abstract: A map-reduce compatible distributed file system that consists of successive component layers that each provide the basis on which the next layer is built provides transactional read-write-update semantics with file chunk replication and huge file-create rates. Containers provide the fundamental basis for data replication, relocation, and transactional updates. A container location database allows containers to be found among all file servers, as well as defining precedence among replicas of containers to organize transactional updates of container contents. Volumes facilitate control of data placement, creation of snapshots and mirrors, and retention of a variety of control and policy information. Also addressed is the use of distributed transactions in a map-reduce system; the use of local and distributed snapshots; replication, including techniques for reconciling the divergence of replicated data after a crash; and mirroring.

Abstract: At a logging service, a representation of a transaction requested by a client is received. The transaction includes at least a first write operation directed to a data object at a first data store. Based at least in part on the contents of the representation and contents of a persistent log of the logging service, a determination is made that the requested transaction is to be committed. A log record corresponding to the first write operation is inserted into the persistent log. The first write is propagated to the first data store after the record has been inserted in the persistent log.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for reading a multi-level memory cell are described. The memory cell may be configured to store three or more logic states. The memory device may apply a first read voltage to a memory cell to determine a logic state stored by the memory cell. The memory device may determine whether a first snapback event occurred and apply a second read voltage based on determining that the first snapback event failed to occur based on applying the first read voltage. The memory device may determine whether a second snapback event occurred and determine the logic state based on whether the first snapback event or the second snapback event occurred.
Abstract: A waveform capture device (WCD) is a flexible measurement system capable of recording complex digital signals on trillionth-of-a-second (ps) time scales. The WCD may be implemented via modular code on an off-the-shelf field-programmable gate-array (FPGA), and incorporates both time-to-digital converter (TDC) and digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) functionality. The device captures a waveform by taking snapshots of a signal as it propagates down an ultra-fast transmission line known as a carry chain (CC). It may be calibrated via a dynamic phase-shifting (DPS) method that requires substantially less data and resources than conventional techniques.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a wafer processing device for optimizing wafer shape. For example, the wafer processing device can include a first hot plate, a second hot plate and a controller. The first hot plate can be configured to heat a wafer. For example, the first hot plate can provide uniform heating across a surface of the first hot plate. The second hot plate has multiple heating zones with each heating zone independently controllable such that each heating zone can be set to a temperature value independent of other heating zones. The controller is configured to control the first hot plate to provide the uniform heating, receive a bow measurement from wafer curvature measurement of a wafer, and set the multiple heating zones of the second hot plate to their respective temperature values that correspond to the bow measurement.

Abstract: Embodiments of the technology described herein describe a machine classifier capable of continually learning new classes through a continual few-shot learning approach. A natural language processing (NLP) machine classifier may initially be trained to identify a plurality of other classes through a conventional training process. In order to learn a new class, natural-language training data for a new class is generated. The training data for the new class may be few-shot training data. The training also uses synthetic training data that represents each of the plurality of other classes. The synthetic training data may be generated through a model inversion of the original classifier. The synthetic training data and the natural-language training data are used to retrain the NLP classifier to identify text in the plurality of other classes and the new class using.
