Abstract: Messages and data are dynamically selected for packing into an information packet for transmission across a communication link of the data processing network. The number of messages (zero or more) of each message kind to be packed is determined based, at least in part, on the number of slots available to be packed, on the number of pending messages of each kind and on a dynamically determined priority setting. The priority may be user controlled, dependent on input backpressure and/or dependent on target loading, for example. The number of messages of each message kind to be packed may be determined using a hardware lookup table.

Moreover, the method includes controlling, via the controller, the inverter-based resource, based at least in part, on the voltage command.

Abstract: A post-task-completion retention period for which a computing resource is to be retained, without de-activating the resource, on behalf of a set of requesters of machine learning tasks is determined at a machine learning service. A first task, identified at the service prior to expiration of the retention period at a first computing resource at which a second task has completed, is initiated at the first computing resource. In response to obtaining an indication of a third task and determining that a threshold criterion associated with the retention period satisfies a criterion, the third task is initiated at an additional computing resource. The additional computing resource is de-activated after the third task completes, without waiting for the retention period to expire.
