Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining a sideslip vector for a vehicle that may have a direction that is different from that of a heading vector for the vehicle. The sideslip vector in a current vehicle state and sideslip vectors in predicted vehicles states may be used to determine paths for a vehicle through an environment and trajectories for controlling the vehicle through the environment. The sideslip vector may be based on a vehicle position that is the center point of the wheelbase of the vehicle and may include lateral velocity, facilitating the control of four-wheel steered vehicle while maintaining the ability to control two-wheel steered vehicles.

Abstract: A module manages usage of a memory in a computer by scheduling data processing tasks. The module determines whether a memory associated with a computer is available for performing a data processing task. In response to determining that the memory is not available for performing the data processing task, the module generates a factory object for the data processing task. The factory object specifies instructions to produce the data processing task. After the factory object is generated, the module receives a request to perform the data processing task. The module produces the data processing task by using the factory object in response to the request and determine again whether the memory is available for performing the data processing task. In response to determining that the memory is now available for performing the data processing task, the module performs the data processing task by using the memory.

Abstract: A data analytics system stores a plurality of sequential data blocks in a block cache. Each data block contains one or more data records. Each data record of a data record contains one or more values and a record marker marking the end of the data record. The data analytics system allocates a data block in the block cache to a worker thread. The worker thread parses the data block to identify the one or more data records contained within the data block. The data analytics system determines whether the data block was correctly parsed. Responsive to determining that the data block was correctly parsed, the data analytics system provides the one or more data records contained within the data block to a data analytics workflow.
