Abstract: A fabric control protocol (FCP) and packet forwarding mechanisms are described that maximize utilization of bandwidth within massive, large-scale data centers having multi-stage data center switch fabric topologies, such as topologies that include a third switching layer formed by super spine switches. Automatic generation of data plane forwarding information referred to as FCP path information enumerates, for each data processing unit (DPU), the available FCP paths. The FCP path information may be based on unique combinations of peak points of the switch fabric for a given DPU with FCP colors assigned to network links that are used to multi-home the DPU to the switch fabric.

Abstract: Implementations relate to determining a rendering type for an application that is executing automatically. Based on user interactions with an application that is associated with specified input from the user while the user is interacting with the application, a confidence metric is generated for each specified input and a rendering type is determined based on the confidence metrics. Subsequently, when the user requests that a sequence of actions be performed, the application will be displayed according to the rendering type.

Abstract: A fabric control protocol is described for use within a data center in which a switch fabric provides full mesh interconnectivity such that any of the servers may communicate packet data for a given packet flow to any other of the servers using any of a number of parallel data paths within the data center switch fabric. The fabric control protocol enables spraying of individual packets for a given packet flow across some or all of the multiple parallel data paths in the data center switch fabric and, optionally, reordering of the packets for delivery to the destination. The fabric control protocol may provide end-to-end bandwidth scaling and flow fairness within a single tunnel based on endpoint-controlled requests and grants for flows. In some examples, the fabric control protocol packet structure is carried over an underlying protocol, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein receives artifacts generated using a first set of models within a multi-model superstructure. The multi-model superstructure includes a second set of models to test the first set of models. The multi-model superstructure dynamically routes the artifacts of the first set of models to one or more models of the second set of models by (i) determining a set of dimensions of the artifacts against which to evaluate the artifacts and (ii) identifying the models in the second set used to test the particular dimension. The second set of models then assesses each artifact against a set of assessment metrics. If an artifact fails to meet one or more assessment metrics, the second set of models generates actions to align the artifact with the set of assessment metrics.

Abstract: A method include receiving a natural language prompt from a user comprising a command to generate a code script for an automated assistant to perform a routine. The routine includes multiple discrete actions specified by the natural language prompt. The method further includes processing, by a pre-trained large language model (LLM), the natural language prompt to generate the code script as an LLM output, and processing the code script to determine the code script is incomplete, thereby rendering the code script unsuitable for the automated assistant to fulfill performance of the routine. Based on determining the code script is incomplete, the method includes issuing a user prompt soliciting the user to provide additional information needed to complete the code script and receiving user input of the additional information needed to complete the code script. The method includes supplementing the code script with the additional information to render completed code script.
