Abstract: In some implementations, a device may obtain first data associated with one or more accounts. The device may process the first data to obtain clustering information associated with the first data. The device may cluster the first data into one or more clusters based on the clustering information. The device may identify, via a second machine learning model, one or more deviation patterns associated with a portion of the first data that is included in a cluster of the one or more clusters. The device may determine, for the cluster, one or more operations to be performed to mitigate deviations based on the one or more deviation patterns. The device may perform an action, that is based on the one or more operations, associated with second data grouped into the cluster.

Abstract: A building-construction panel (e.g., a structural wood subflooring panel) includes a tongue on one edge and a groove on an opposite edge that receives the tongue of an adjacent panel. A shoulder on the tongue-side edge defines an abutted surface that is contacted by an abutting surface on the groove-side edge to limit panel travel during installation and maintain a gap between upper edge portions of the adjacent panels. A bottom transition is formed on the groove-side edge so that the groove-side abutting surface is smaller than the tongue-side shoulder abutted surface. In this way, the relatively smaller groove-side abutting surface structurally maintains the gap but also minimizes frictional interpanel contact area to minimize squeaking. And the relatively larger tongue-side shoulder abutted surface helps keep the shoulder from being collapsed into the groove from overdriving the panels together during installation. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing the panels.

Abstract: Systems and methods for effective set sampling and set-dueling in large distributed system level caches are described. An example method includes a shared cache instance (SCI), from among a plurality of SCIs, receiving a request associated with a thread, where the request comprises policy information for specifying at least one of two cache algorithms for implementation by the SCI for any requests associated with the thread. The method further includes the SCI implementing the at least one of the two cache algorithms specified by the policy information received as part of the request associated with the thread unless the SCI is identified as a delegated shared cache instance, from among the SCIs, for determining a winner between the two cache algorithms for use with any requests associated with the thread.

Abstract: The described technology provides a method including receiving a request from an agent for accessing a cogran and for allocating an agent ID to one of a plurality of SFT entries in a snoop filter (SFT), performing a tag lookup function for a tag of the cogran in the SFT to find a matched SFT entry, wherein the matched SFT entry is tracking the tag of the cogran, determining the number n of agents being tracked by the matched SFT entry, and in response to determining that the number n of agents being tracked by the matched entry is above a threshold, storing a DVT index in the tracking_info field of the matched SFT entry, wherein the DVT index selects a DVT entry in a disaggregated vector table (DVT), wherein the selected DVT entry is configured to hold a tracking vector for tracking the agents that have cached the cogran for the matched SFT entry.

Embodiments include a control system providing selection of a preset circadian stimulus profile, including a desired circadian stimulus level for setpoint times, for example, including a color temperature and brightness level for each setpoint time to simulate local natural sunlight conditions or a different selected lighting and/or stimulus condition. The control system wirelessly transmits information for the setpoints of the profile to lighting devices, which incrementally transition the color temperature and dimming of the lighting device between the profile setpoints.

Abstract: A wireless lighting control system for controlling lighting devices and with independent site operation is disclosed. The wireless lighting control system includes a remote server system, user computer devices, and a site system. The site system includes a gateway, a wireless mesh network, and wireless devices. The wireless devices communicate with the gateway via the wireless mesh network. The gateway communicates with the remote server system via a wide-area network. The user computer devices communicate with the remote server system and the gateway. Control information for the wireless devices is stored in the remote server system and is mirrored in the gateway so that the site system can operate independently if communication with the remote server system is lost.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for managing dirty data. An agent receives a request for data. If the data is dirty data, the agent may use a replacement policy to determine if the data should be passed clean or dirty to the requestor. The replacement policy may correspond to how long the dirty data being stored in a cache line is to be maintained. In one embodiment, the replacement policy is a circuit, such as an SRAM and a logic circuit, for example.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically scaling consumer servers in a data processing system. To build an automatic scaling system, the present disclosure allows consumers to obtain additional information, e.g., the number of events that await to be read from an aggregator when receiving an event from the aggregator. This additionally obtained number provides a direct gauge for the data processing system to determine when the consumers are over-provisioned, i.e., when the number of events left to be read is close to zero, as well as when the consumers are under-provisioned, e.g., when the number of events left to be read continues to increase. As a result, the consumers can be automatically scaled to handle the dynamic data processing demand while providing optimal resource allocation.
