Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for compressing and decompressing a stream of indices associated with graphics primitives. A group of delta values is determined based on a group of indices of the stream of indices. The group of delta values is compared to delta values in a lookup table. The group of indices is compressed based on an entry in the lookup table if the group of delta values matches all delta values in the entry, otherwise, the group of indices is compressed based on variable-length encoding.

Abstract: A graphics pipeline includes a cache having cache lines that are configured to store data used to process frames in a graphics pipeline. The graphics pipeline is implemented using a processor that processes frames for the graphics pipeline using data stored in the cache. The processor processes a first frame and writes back a dirty cache line from the cache to a memory concurrently with processing of the first frame. The dirty cache line is retained in the cache and marked as clean subsequent to being written back to the memory. In some cases, the processor generates a hint that indicates a priority for writing back the dirty cache line based on a read command occupancy at a system memory controller.

Abstract: Methods and systems for reporting CSI and selecting optimal beams using ML. The CSI report is sent to a gNB, which includes feedback parameters, computed and predicted using ML. The feedback parameters are computed using measurements performed using CSI-RS. Values of the feedback parameters likely at future, based on channel variation and the measurements, are pre-dieted using ML. The computed and predicted feedback parameters are included in the CSI report. Optimal CSI-RS resource allocation and optimal CSI reporting periodicity are determined using ML and sent to the gNB. The CSI report is encoded using the ML based model. The RSRP of the beams are predicted using ML for beam selection.

Abstract: A production cluster executes a workload, such that jobs associated with the executed workload are allocated, according to a first configuration. A cluster monitor extracts production cluster information from the production cluster, monitors configuration information during execution of the workload, and transmits each to a cluster tuner. The cluster tuner receives the information and determines a first recommended configuration for the production cluster. The cluster tuner causes the test cluster to execute a simulated workload according to the first recommended configuration. In response to determining that the first recommended configuration results in a decrease in resource consumption, the cluster tuner causes the production cluster to operate according to the first recommended configuration.

A unified visual compatibility score may be determined for each of a plurality of candidate items, and the candidate item with the highest unified visual compatibility score may be selected to add to the bundle (e.g., fill the in blank for the partial outfit).

Abstract: An imaging system that includes a camera mounted on an aerial platform, for example a balloon, allows a user to increase the longevity of the camera's battery by remote control. A user may capture imagery at a time scale of interest and desired power consumption by adjusting parameters for image capture by the camera. A user may adjust a time to capture an image, a time to capture a video, or a number of cycles per time period to capture one or more images as the aerial platform moves in a region of interest to change power consumption for imaging. The system also provides imaging alignment to account for unwanted movement of the aerial platform when moved in the region of interest. Additionally, a mounting device is provided that is simple and inexpensive, and that allows a camera to remain positioned in a desired position relative to the ground.
