Abstract: In order to perform quantitative analysis on an object in an image, it is important to accurately identify the object, but when plural objects are in contact with each other, it is potential that a target portion cannot be accurately identified. An image is segmented into a foreground region and a background region, the foreground region being a region in which an object for which quantitative information is to be calculated is shown, and the background region being a region other than the foreground region. With respect to a first object and a second object in contact with each other in the image, a contact point between the first object and the second object is detected based on a region segmentation result output by a segmentation unit.

The processing device determines that a first memory page of the plurality of memory pages satisfies a first threshold criterion pertaining to the data temperature of the first memory page and sends a first migration command indicating the first memory page to a direct memory access (DMA) engine executing on a memory-mapped storage component operatively coupled with the cache memory component and with the memory-mapped storage component via a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) bus. The first migration command causes the DMA engine to initiate a first DMA transfer of the first memory page from the cache memory component to a host-addressable region of the memory-mapped storage component.

Abstract: A graph can be generated based on an access pattern associated with blocks of a memory device that have been accessed by a host system, wherein the graph comprises nodes representing at least a subset of the blocks that have been accessed by the host system and edges that are based on the access pattern, wherein each edge is associated with a respective probability value between a respective pair of nodes. A number of edges having respective probability values that satisfy a probability value threshold criterion can be determined. It can be determined whether the number of edges satisfies a decayed edge value condition. In response to determining that the number of edges does not satisfy the decayed edge value condition, the graph can be removed.
