  • Publication number: 20240248817
    Abstract: Techniques for data recovery involve determining, based on a relationship between a missing inode in an inode table and a data logical address in an extension table, whether the inode is a target inode that is able to be recovered. The techniques further involve acquiring, in response to a determination that the inode is the target inode, associated data corresponding to the target inode. The techniques further involve recovering the inode based on the acquired associated data. Accordingly, volume-level data loss can be avoided, a data loss rate of a storage product can be reduced, and user satisfaction can be enhanced.

    Abstract: After inputting input data to a floating pre-trained convolution neural network to generate floating feature maps for each layer of the floating pre-trained CNN model, a statistical analysis on the floating feature maps is performed to generate a dynamic quantization range for each layer of the floating pre-trained CNN model. Based on the obtained quantization range for each layer, the proposed quantization methodologies quantize the floating pre-trained CNN model to generate the scalar factor of each layer and the fractional bit-width of a quantized CNN model. It enables the inference engine performs low-precision fixed-point arithmetic operations to generate a fixed-point inferred CNN model.
