  • Patent number: 11722550
    Abstract: An input device is shared between a first remote desktop having a first display image, which is displayed on a first display of a first client device, and a second remote desktop having a second display image, which is displayed on a second display of a second client device. Upon detecting that an input pointer of the input device currently displayed within the first display image on the first display, is moved across an edge of the first remote desktop that corresponds to a virtual boundary between the first remote desktop and the second remote desktop, instructions are issued to a first remote computing device that is hosting the first remote desktop to discontinue receiving inputs made with the input device and a second remote computing device that is hosting the second remote desktop to begin receiving inputs made with the input device.

  • Publication number: 20230119126
    Abstract: A hardware accelerator can store, in multiple memory storage areas in one or more memories on the accelerator, input data for each processing time step of multiple processing time steps for processing sequential inputs to a machine learning model. For each processing time step, the following is performed. The accelerator can access a current value of a counter stored in a register within the accelerator to identify the processing time step. The accelerator can determine, based on the current value of the counter, one or more memory storage areas that store the input data for the processing time step. The accelerator can facilitate access of the input data for the processing time step from the one or more memory storage areas to at least one processor coupled to the one or more memory storage areas. The accelerator can increment the current value of the counter stored in the register.

  • Patent number: 11568116
    Abstract: A true random metastable flip-flop (TRMFF) compiler generates an electrical architecture for a TRMFF chain. The compiler selects components for the TRMFF chain from a library of standard cells and logically connects these components in accordance with a primitive polynomial to generate the electrical architecture. The TRMFF chain provides a sequence of random numbers from one or more physical processes in accordance with the primitive polynomial. During operation, one or more microscopic phenomena inside and/or outside of the TRMFF chain can cause one or more low-level, statistically random entropy noise signals to be present within the TRMFF chain. The TRMFF chain advantageously utilizes the one or more low-level, statistically random entropy noise signals to provide the sequence of random numbers.

  • Patent number: 11561809
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remote display resource management can allow a remote display to be dynamically modified according to user eye movements. A user device can receive graphical data for a remote display and present the remote display on a local display. A remote display module (RD module) can detect dynamic content in the graphical data. The RD module can monitor eye movements of a user using an eye tracker device to determine when a user is not looking at the dynamic content. When a user looks away from the dynamic content for more than an allowed amount of time, the RD module can send instructions to a server to reduce the quality of the dynamic content in the remote display. The RD module can send instructions to restore the quality of the dynamic content after determining that the user is looking at the dynamic content.
