  • Publication number: 20240046065
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to determine options for decisions in connection with design features of a computing device. In a particular implementation, design options for two or more design decisions of neural network processing device may be identified based, at least in part, on combination of a definition of available computing resources and one or more predefined performance constraints.

  • Patent number: 11790280
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for computing with chemicals by encoding digital data into a plurality of chemicals to obtain a dataset; translating the dataset into a chemical form; reading the data set; querying the dataset by performing an operation to obtain a perceptron; and analyzing the perceptron for identifying chemical structure and/or concentration of at least one of the chemicals, thereby developing a chemical computational language. The invention demonstrates a workflow for representing abstract data in synthetic metabolomes. Also presented are several demonstrations of kilobyte-scale image data sets stored in synthetic metabolomes, recovered at >99% accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20230146689
    Abstract: A hardware neural network system includes an input buffer for input neurons (Nbin), an output buffer for output neurons (Nbout), and a third buffer for synaptic weights (SB) connected to a Neural Functional Unit (NFU) and a control logic (CP) for performing synapses and neurons computations. The NFU pipelines a computation into stages, the stages including weight blocks (WB), an adder tree, and a non-linearity function.

  • Publication number: 20230042271
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to select options for decisions in connection with design features of a computing device. In a particular implementation, design options for two or more design decisions of neural network processing device may be selected based, at least in part, on combination of function values that are computed based, at least in part, on a tensor expressing sample neural network weights.

  • Patent number: 11113553
    Abstract: A method of accelerated iris recognition includes acquiring an image comprising at least an iris and a pupil, segmenting the iris and the pupil using a fully convolutional network (FCN) model, normalizing the segmented iris, encoding the normalized iris, the normalizing and encoding using a rubber sheet model and 1-D log Gabor filter, and masking the encoded iris.
