Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reducing blind decoding attempts by a User Equipment (UE) in a telecommunication network. The method comprises configuring a Search Space (SS) configuration to the UE. A Base Station (BS) signals one of a subset of Aggregation Levels (ALs) to be monitored based on channel quality of the UE and an associated time period, and a value of multiplication factor (k) and an associated time period. The UE iteratively monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) on the ALs signalled by the BS till the UE stops receiving a new configuration. The UE performs one of adopting an original configuration, requesting the BS for a new configuration, utilizing a default configuration or utilizing an original configuration.

Abstract: A non-transitory, processor-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to retrieve, from a database associated with a cloud service, first resource configuration data associated with a first resource. The first resource is analyzed to produce first resilience data, and a second resource associated with the cloud service is identified based on an indication of a load balancer associated with the cloud service. Based on the authentication data and an indication of the second resource, a second API call is generated to retrieve, from the database, second resource configuration data associated with the second resource is also retrieved from the database. A second resource is analyzed based on the second resource configuration data to produce second resilience data. Based on the first resilience data and the second resilience data, an indication of a vulnerability hotspot and an indication of a resource mitigation are generated.

Abstract: A medical device includes a handle, a shaft, an end effector, and a wire. The handle includes a rotatable knob and a longitudinally movable spool. The shaft extends from a distal end of the handle. The end effector is coupled to a distal end of the shaft. The wire extends from the handle, through the shaft, and to the end effector. Rotation of the knob rotates the wire independent of the shaft to rotate the end effector. Distal movement of the spool moves the wire distally independent of the shaft and transitions the end effector between at least a first configuration and a second configuration. Proximal movement of the spool urges the wire proximally. Urging the wire proximally deflects a deflectable portion of the shaft in one or more directions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing thread allocation in a model serving system include estimating a batch size for inference requests. An optimal configuration is then determined that defines a number of inference instances, a number of threads per inference instance, and a sub-batch size per inference instance for processing a batch of inference requests of the batch size using intra-operator parallelism that minimizes average per-batch latency. The optimal configuration is determined with reference to a plurality of predetermined model profiles that define single-inference average batch latencies for different combinations of thread counts and batch sizes, the predetermined model profiles being used as input to a dynamic programming algorithm that identifies optimal configurations that minimize the average per-batch latency.

Abstract: A data processing unit may include a memory, processing elements (PEs), and a control unit. The memory may store weight blocks within a weight tensor of a neural network operation. Each weight block has an input channel (IC) dimension and an output channel (OC) dimension and includes subblocks. A subblock includes one or more weights having a first data precision and one or more other weights having a second data precision. The second data precision is lower than the first data precision. The control unit may distribute different ones of the subblocks to different ones of the PEs. A PE may receive a subblock and perform a first MAC operation on a weight having a first data precision and a second MAC operation on a weight having a second data precision. The first MAC operation may consume more computation cycles or more multipliers than the second MAC operation.
