Publication number: 20240119301Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes sampling, according to a priority sampling policy, a set of node priorities from a computation graph. Each node priority of the set of node priorities may be associated with a respective node on the computation graph. Additionally, each node may represent an operation of a task performed by an artificial neural network. The method also includes converting, via a list scheduling function, the node priorities to a schedule that associates each node of the computation graph with a processor of a group of processors of a device associated with the artificial neural network, the schedule associated with a makespan. The method further includes performing the task in accordance with the schedule.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Wonseok JEON, Mukul GAGRANI, Weiliang ZENG, Edward TEAGUE, Burak BARTAN, Piero ZAPPI, Christopher LOTT

Publication number: 20240118923Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes generating, by a scheduling model, a group of schedules from a computation graph associated with a task, each node on the computation graph being associated with an operation of an artificial neural network, each schedule of the group of schedules associating each node of the computation graph with a processor of a group of processors of a hardware device. The processor-implemented method also includes testing one or more schedules of the group of schedules on the hardware device or a model of the hardware device. The processor-implemented method further includes selecting a schedule of the one or more schedules based on testing the one or more schedules, the selected schedule satisfying a selection condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Corrado RAINONE, Wei David ZHANG, Roberto BONDESAN, Markus PESCHL, Mukul GAGRANI, Wonseok JEON, Edward TEAGUE, Piero ZAPPI, Weiliang ZENG, Christopher LOTT

Patent number: 11924078Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, mechanisms, and apparatus by which a network operator such as a wireline internet service provider (ISP) may determine that an endpoint device has one or more other wireless devices tethered to it, such as a mobile handset providing dual-Wi-Fi ad-hoc tethering (i.e., connected to a high-speed Wi-Fi network while simultaneously providing Wi-Fi connections to wireless devices tethered to the mobile handset), by monitoring Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP traffic flow associated with endpoint devices (i.e., to or through endpoint devices), characterizing these traffic flows in accordance with one or more error indicative criteria to establish thereby a baseline profile of error indicative criteria that is indicative of a TCP/IP traffic flow associated with an endpoint device that is not associated with tethering (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS OPERATING, LLCInventors: Timothy Bleidorn, Christopher Teague, Janath Kumar Madhamanchi

Patent number: 11909605Abstract: A method for providing a differentiated feature to a first user equipment (UE) connected to a local area network (LAN) implemented by a router connected to a customer premises equipment (CPE) provisioned with a default feature associated with a first service tier of a plurality of service tiers provided by an internet service provider includes obtaining data indicating the first UE has connected to the LAN and determining the first UE is eligible for a second service tier of the different tiers. In response to determining the first UE is eligible for the second service tier, the method includes causing the CPE to be dynamically provisioned for a differentiated service associated with the second service tier. The method includes sending a message to the router to configure the router to provide the differentiated feature to the first UE.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Shane Newberg, Christopher Teague, William K.

Publication number: 20240056236Abstract: A method for collecting duplicated packets from a plurality of nodes provided on a network includes receiving a traffic profile which includes one or more parameters of packets which are to be captured by the plurality of nodes. The method further includes transmitting the traffic profile to each of the plurality of nodes provided on the network and receiving duplicated packets from the plurality of nodes.

Publication number: 20230300719Abstract: The presentation invention relates to methods and apparatus for a mobile device to discover the hidden SSID of a network. An exemplary method embodiment includes the steps of: receiving, at the mobile device, a first beacon frame having a Service Set Identifier (SSID) field set to NULL from a first Access Point; determining, at the mobile device, based on information received from the first Access Point that the mobile device is provisioned to connect to a first network advertised by the first beacon frame; discovering, by the mobile device, a first SSID name for the first network advertised by the first beacon frame for which the mobile device is provisioned. In another embodiment the mobile device associates with the first network after discovering the first SSID name.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Venkata Divvi, Christopher Teague

Publication number: 20230198939Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for performing targeted filtering of network traffic generated by user equipment (UE) devices connected to a customer premise equipment (CPE) device in a communication system that includes a distributed residential gateway. A network server may determine that the communication system includes a UE device that is compromised, misconfigured, or operating outside normal communication parameters, identify the UE device, determine an Internet protocol (IP) address or a media access control (MAC) address of the identified UE device, generate a quarantine request message that includes the IP address or the MAC address of the identified UE device in response to determining that the preconfigured virtual local area network access control list (VACL) on the CPE lists source IP addresses from which the CPE will filter outbound traffic, and send the generated quarantine request message to a bridged residential gateway (BRG) associated with the CPE device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Timothy BLEIDORN, Cheryl WARNE, Shane NEWBERG, Christopher TEAGUE
