Abstract: A system comprises a processor including a CPU core, first and second memory caches, and a memory controller subsystem. The memory controller subsystem speculatively determines a hit or miss condition of a virtual address in the first memory cache and speculatively translates the virtual address to a physical address. Associated with the hit or miss condition and the physical address, the memory controller subsystem configures a status to a valid state. Responsive to receipt of a first indication from the CPU core that no program instructions associated with the virtual address are needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status to an invalid state and, responsive to receipt of a second indication from the CPU core that a program instruction associated with the virtual address is needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status back to a valid state.

Abstract: A thermoelectric assembly for use with a chiller system includes a reservoir for liquid coolant and a pump to circulate the liquid coolant through the thermoelectric assembly. The thermoelectric assembly includes a thermally conductive block surrounded by a housing and configured to exchange heat with the liquid coolant. Fluid passageways extend between first and second ends of the block with first and second endplates coupled to the respective first and second ends. The first and second endplates enclose respective terminal ends of the fluid passageways to interconnect the fluid passageways at the first and second ends to define a fluid flow loop within the block, with an inlet and an outlet each in fluid communication with the fluid flow loop. A heat sink is thermally coupled to the block and a thermoelectric device is in thermal communication with the block and the heat sink.

Abstract: Providing memory bandwidth compression using compressed memory controllers (CMCs) in a central processing unit (CPU)-based system is disclosed. In this regard, in some aspects, a CMC is configured to receive a memory read request to a physical address in a system memory, and read a compression indicator (CI) for the physical address from a master directory and/or from error correcting code (ECC) bits of the physical address. Based on the CI, the CMC determines a number of memory blocks to be read for the memory read request, and reads the determined number of memory blocks. In some aspects, a CMC is configured to receive a memory write request to a physical address in the system memory, and generate a CI for write data based on a compression pattern of the write data. The CMC updates the master directory and/or the ECC bits of the physical address with the generated CI.

A connected medication dispenser includes a robotic arm adapted to deliver a prescribed medication dose to a patient in their home, and software and sensors that analyze the patient's compliance, communicate with external health sensors to monitor the patient's response to the dose, and communicate with external servers to send the result of providing the medication dose to the patient. In an illustrative example, the patient may be a chronic, acute, or terminal illness patient, and the results may be communicated with physicians, payers, caregivers, a pharmacy, and/or the patient's electronic health record. The flow of information may allow the physician or caregiver to offer real-time adjustments to the medication type, dose, and schedule to provide improved therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for generating a query using training observations are described. According to the techniques described herein, a device (e.g., an application server) may receive a set of queries including a set of fields in a tenant-specific dataset associated with the query. The device may generate a set of training observations for the queries based on the set of fields. The device then trains a first machine learning model to determine grouping hierarchies and a second machine learning model to determine aggregation predictions. The device then builds a combined machine learning model based on the determined grouping hierarchies and the aggregation predictions. According to techniques described herein, the device uses the determined grouping hierarchies and the aggregation predictions to rank a set of suggested queries determined in response to an input query and selects a suggested query for display based on the ranking.

Abstract: Optimized memory usage and management is crucial to the overall performance of a neural network (NN) or deep neural network (DNN) computing environment. Using various characteristics of the input data dimension, an apportionment sequence is calculated for the input data to be processed by the NN or DNN that optimizes the efficient use of the local and external memory components. The apportionment sequence can describe how to parcel the input data (and its associated processing parameters—e.g., processing weights) into one or more portions as well as how such portions of input data (and its associated processing parameters) are passed between the local memory, external memory, and processing unit components of the NN or DNN. Additionally, the apportionment sequence can include instructions to store generated output data in the local and/or external memory components so as to optimize the efficient use of the local and/or external memory components.

Abstract: An all-wheel-drive vehicle includes a primary axle operably coupled to an engine and a secondary axle having an input operably coupled to the engine a first halfshaft, a second halfshaft, a first clutch selectively connecting the first halfshaft to the input, and a second clutch selectively connecting the second halfshaft to the input. A transmission has an input coupled to the engine and output coupled to the primary drive axle. A driveshaft couples a power-transfer unit and the input, and a third clutch selectively couples the output to the driveshaft. A controller is programmed to, during a power-limiting routine, command a torque to the engine based on closed-loop feedback control such that the torque decreases when a calculated slip of a selected one of the first and second clutches is greater than a target slip of the selected clutch and increases when the calculated slip is less than the target slip.

Abstract: It is desirable to facilitate maintenance of a battery of a vehicle. Ideally, any non-optimal action performed on the battery—for instance excessive charging—should be identified such that an appropriate recommendation for a battery maintenance operation can be provided. For instance, a user of the vehicle may be instructed to charge the battery less often. Thus, in an embodiment, a device such as an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), will monitor one or more operational properties of the battery. Thereafter, the monitored property is evaluated by the ECU to determine an effect that the monitored property has on the lifetime of the battery. Based on this evaluation, the ECU performs an action with aim to prolong the lifetime of the battery, such as instructing a user of the vehicle to perform a particular action.

Abstract: A queuing requester for access to a memory system is provided. Transaction requests are received from two or more requestors for access to the memory system. Each transaction request includes an associated priority value. A request queue of the received transaction requests is formed in the queuing requester. Each transaction request includes an associated priority value. A highest priority value of all pending transaction requests within the request queue is determined. An elevated priority value is selected when the highest priority value is higher than the priority value of an oldest transaction request in the request queue; otherwise the priority value of the oldest transaction request is selected. The oldest transaction request in the request queue with the selected priority value is then provided to the memory system. An arbitration contest with other requesters for access to the memory system is performed using the selected priority value.
