  • Patent number: 12007899
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are improved address prediction and memory preloading that leverages next-delta prediction and/or far-delta prediction for scheduling using a DNN. Previous memory access sequence data that identify one or more memory addresses previously accessed by one or more processors of a system may be processed and then converted into a sequence of delta values. The sequence of delta values are then mapped to one or more classes that are then input to a DNN. The DNN then outputs a predicted future class identifier sequence that represents addresses that the DNN predicts will be accessed by the processor in the future. The predicted future class identifier sequence is then converted back to a predicted delta value sequence and back into a set of one or more predicted addresses.

  • Patent number: 12003473
    Abstract: A notification center system receives a message from a message source, the message comprising a message body, the message body comprising parameter-value pairs. The notification center system processes the message body to obtain a contextual string from the parameter-value pairs, appends a source identifier to the message, the source identifier identifying the message source, and stores the message appended with the source identifier in a platform-neutral format in a message store. Utilizing the contextual string, the message is then grouped, with other message(s) or by itself, with a message thread. The message is provided to a delivery mechanism for presentation of the message under the message thread. Content-aware contextual visual indicators may be determined for the message thread and the message based on different orders of specificity. The message thread and the message can then be displayed with their corresponding content-aware contextual visual indicators to provide additional insights.

  • Publication number: 20240134545
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, devices, machine-readable mediums, and methods for customizing an in-memory versioning mode for each memory location according to a predicted access behavior to optimize memory device performance. Usage data in a previous time period may be utilized along with policy rules to determine whether to configure a particular memory address as a zero copy or direct copy mode. For example, memory addresses that are read frequently may be configured as direct copy mode to reduce the read latency penalty. This improves the functioning of the memory system by reducing read latency for memory addresses that are frequently read but written to less frequently, and reduces write latency for memory locations that are frequently written to, but not read as frequently.

  • Publication number: 20240136547
    Abstract: A fuel cell electrical power generation system is described herein. The system uses a combustor to increase the pressure and temperature of exhaust gases from a fuel cell stack of the system. The combustor uses hydrogen from a hydrogen supply to provide fuel to the combustor. The increased temperature/pressure of the exhaust gases post combustion are used to rotate a turbine, which in turn rotates a compressor of a turbocharger. The compressor compresses incoming air to increase the power output and/or the efficiency of the system. An ebooster can be used in low load conditions, such as during a startup or during at time in which the electrical loading on the fuel cells is relatively low.
