  • Patent number: 9805152
    Abstract: In an example implementation, a method is provided for compiling an HLL source file including function calls to one or more hardware accelerated functions. Function calls in the HLL source file to hardware accelerated functions are identified and grouped into a plurality of subsets for exclusive implementation in programmable logic resources. Sets of configuration data are generated for configuration of the programmable logic resources to implement hardware accelerated functions for the respective subsets of function calls. An interface manager is generated and the identified function calls are replaced with interface code configured to communicate with the interface manager. The interface manager manages configuration of the programmable logic resources to switch between the sets of configuration data to implement hardware accelerated functions for different ones of the subsets.

  • Publication number: 20170011419
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for personalizing a user's E-commerce environment. Identified lifecycle state transactions associated with the user are modeled by performing a lifecycle state transition probability calculation utilizing collected social media data and transaction data. Utilizing the model of the identified lifecycle state transactions, a two-level Hidden Markov Model (HMM) lifecycle model is generated for current lifecycle states being experienced by the user. Utilizing the two-level HMM lifecycle model for current lifecycle states being experienced by the user, one or more future behavioral predictions are generated with regard to the user's lifecycle. One or more E-commerce recommendations are then issued to the user based on the one or more future behavioral predictions.

  • Patent number: 9223921
    Abstract: In an example implementation, a method is provided for compiling an HLL source file. The HLL source file checked for function calls to a set of hardware-accelerated functions having hardware implementations specified in a hardware library. For each HLL function call to a hardware-accelerated function, a circuit design is retrieved from the hardware library. The circuit design specifies a hardware implementation of the hardware-accelerated function. HLL interface code configured to communicate with the hardware implementation of the hardware-accelerated function is also generated. The HLL function call to the hardware-accelerated function in the HLL source file is replaced with the generated interface code. The HLL source file is compiled to generate a program executable on a processor of a programmable IC. Configuration data is generated that implements the retrieved circuit designs on the programmable circuitry of the programmable IC.
