Abstract: A controller may use a timing model to control and coordinate the execution of components within a data processing pipeline. The timing model may be generated based on log data collected during execution of the components, to model component latencies and pipeline behavior in a production environment. The controller may use the timing model to control the timing of the inputs to, the outputs from, and the execution of various interacting components in the data processing pipeline. The timing model may include component-specific and/or channel-specific timing data, and in various implementations may be based on inputs provided to the components, the timing and contents of outputs from the components, and/or the number of times particular code is executed within the components.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and a device operable to determine a total amount of insulin delivered to the user over a predetermined time period. The total amount of insulin includes a total basal dosage delivered in basal dosages and a total bolus dosage delivered in bolus dosages over the predetermined time period. A proportion of the total amount of insulin delivered to the user provided via the total basal dosage amount over the predetermined time period is calculated. In response determining the proportion of the total amount of insulin attributed to the total basal dosage amount of insulin exceeds a threshold, an average basal dosage to be delivered within a subsequent time period that is approximately equal to the threshold may be determined. An instruction may be generated and output to deliver a modified basal dosage that substantially maintains the average basal dosage over the subsequent time period.
