  • Publication number: 20250126501
    Abstract: A wireless testing system is provided that testing transmission speeds associated with a WLAN or other wireless network. In one instance, a network transmission between a device in a telecommunications network and a modem be measured and initiated via an application executed on a mobile device. One or more Wi-Fi speed tests may also be performed to determine a transmission speed between a wireless device associated with the premises and the modem of the WLAN. To conduct the Wi-Fi speed test, a mobile device (such as the mobile device executing the application) may transmit, in some instances in response to an input to the mobile device, an instruction to the test controller to conduct the Wi-Fi speed test. The measured transmission speeds may be controlled by a controller that may store the speed test results in a network repository available to the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20250125819
    Abstract: Vector-scaled hierarchical codebook quantization reduces precision (bitwidth) vectors of parameters and may enable energy-efficient acceleration of deep neural networks. A vector (block array) comprises one or more parameters within a single dimension of a multi-dimensional tensor (or kernel). For example, block array comprises 4 sub-vectors (blocks) and each sub-vector comprises 8 parameters. The parameters may be represented in integer, floating-point, or any other suitable format. A vector cluster quantization technique is used to quantize blocks of parameters in real-time. Hardware circuitry within a datapath identifies an optimal codebook of a plurality of codebooks for quantizing each block of parameters and the block is encoded using the identified codebook. During processing, the identified codebook is used to obtain the quantized parameter and perform computations at the reduced precision.
