  • Patent number: 11836577
    Abstract: A simulation management service receives a request to perform reinforcement learning for a robotic device. The request can include computer-executable code defining a reinforcement function for training a reinforcement learning model for the robotic device. In response to the request, the simulation management service generates a simulation environment and injects the computer-executable code into a simulation application for the robotic device. Using the simulation application and the computer-executable code, the simulation management service performs the reinforcement learning within the simulation environment.

  • Patent number: 11429762
    Abstract: A simulation workflow manager obtains a set of parameters for simulation of a system and training of a reinforcement learning model for optimizing an application of the system. In response to obtaining the set of parameters, the simulation workflow manager configures a first compute node that includes a training application for training the reinforcement learning model. The simulation workflow manager also configures a second compute note with a simulation application to perform the simulation of the system in a simulation environment. Data is generated through execution of the simulation in the second compute node that is provided to the first compute node to cause the training application to use the data to train the reinforcement learning model.

  • Publication number: 20180060404
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for performing data management. During operation, the system obtains a first schema with a first syntax for describing a first data set and a second schema with a second syntax for describing a second data set. Next, the system converts the first schema into a first standardized form with a standardized syntax and the second schema into a second standardized form with the standardized syntax. The system then outputs the first and second standardized forms for use in accessing the first and second data sets.

  • Publication number: 20180060407
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for managing execution of a data flow. During operation, the system obtains a data dependency description for a data flow, wherein the data dependency description includes data sources to be consumed by the data flow, data targets to be produced by the data flow, and one or more data ranges associated with the data sources and the data targets. Next, the system uses the data dependency description to determine an availability of the data sources in an execution environment. After the availability of the data sources in the execution environment is confirmed, the system generates output for initiating execution of the data flow in the execution environment.
