  • Patent number: 11231966
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for scheduling threads on an asymmetric multiprocessing system having multiple core types. Each core type can run at a plurality of selectable voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) states. Threads from a plurality of processes can be grouped into thread groups. Execution metrics are accumulated for threads of a thread group and fed into a plurality of tunable controllers. A closed loop performance control (CLPC) system determines a control effort for the thread group and maps the control effort to a recommended core type and DVFS state. A closed loop thermal and power management system can limit the control effort determined by the CLPC for a thread group, and limit the power, core type, and DVFS states for the system. Metrics for workloads offloaded to co-processors can be tracked and integrated into metrics for the offloading thread group.

  • Patent number: 11231972
    Abstract: An approach is provided for using a dialog-style API for a machine learning solution. A server receives from a client a first call to a dialog-style application programming interface (API) as a first request having an incomplete set of data items. The API determines that one or more data items required by the first request are missing from the incomplete set of data items. First metadata that describes the one or more missing data items are sent to the client. The server receives from the client a second call to the API as a second request having a complete set of data items which includes the one or more data items. The server sends to the client a reply having values of data items in a response to the second request and second metadata that describes the data items in the response.

  • Patent number: 10956179
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to third-party integration of native and platform-agnostic based software components into a third-party application. An exemplary method generally includes receiving, a workflow definition specifying one or more widgets to be loaded into a runtime environment, the one or more widgets comprising at least the first cross-platform widget. A runtime environment is instantiated for the first cross-platform widget. The runtime environment includes a bridge interface for facilitating communications between each widget in the one or more widgets and a second application. The first cross-platform widget is loaded into the runtime environment. When a communication between the first cross-platform widget and the second application is received, the communication is processed through the bridge interface. The bridge interface invokes an event at one or more of the first cross-platform widget or the second application based on the communication.

  • Patent number: 10936363
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based data transformation system receives a process document and automatically generates processor-executable code which enables automatic execution of a process as detailed within the process document. Various structural elements of the process documents are identified and the data from the document is clustered based on common parameters which can include the structural elements or textual data from the process document. The contextual information including conditional and non-conditional statements along with the entities and entity attributes are also obtained. The domain knowledge is superimposed on the contextual information to generate flows that represent procedures which make up the process to be automated. Platform specific code for the automatic execution of the process is automatically generated from the flows.
