Abstract: The technology employs an iterative system of difference constraints (ISDC) approach that leverages low-level feedback from downstream tools to iteratively refine scheduling with respect to circuit design high-level synthesis. In each iteration, a number of subgraphs are extracted from an original computation graph and passed to selected downstream tools, e.g., for logic synthesis, placement and/or routing. The downstream tools' compilation results are extracted and fed back to a scheduler. With the feedback, the scheduler recalculates delay estimation between each pair of nodes in the original computation graph and prunes redundant scheduling constraints. As a result, the explorable design space is enlarged in the next iteration, leading to refined scheduling results. This feedback-guided approach is compatible with versatile design constraints and objectives, such as minimizing register usage given a targeted clock period, minimizing the clock period given a constrained area budget, etc.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses systems, computer program products, and methods for machine interpretation of security data. It identifies various data sources providing metrics and parameters, which include system logs, network traffic data, user activity records, and application logs. The system retrieves these metrics and parameters through an application programming interface and transforms them from unstructured to structured data.

A machine learning model is trained to discern correlations and patterns within the CSM's features. Lastly, the system transmits instructions to present these correlations and patterns via a user interface on a user device, allowing for user-friendly visualization and interpretation of the analyzed security data.
