Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to allocate accelerator usage. An apparatus to allocate accelerator usage comprises: at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to: store data identifying at least one processing unit in communication with a processing circuitry and at least one class; predict an execution of the at least one processing unit workload based on at least one capability; and schedule which processing unit the workload to run on based on at least one of (i) processor circuitry or (ii) user priority parameters.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to improving predictions regarding workload performance to facilitate dynamic auto device selection. In an example, based on telemetry samples collected from a computer system in real-time and indicative of a state of the computer system, one or more workload performance prediction models are built or updated for a heterogeneous set of computer resources of the computer system with reference to one or more optimization goals. At a time of execution of a workload, a particular computer resource of the heterogeneous set of computer resources on which to dispatch the workload is dynamically determined by: (i) generating multiple predicted performance scores each corresponding to one of the computer resources based on the state of the computer system and the one or more workload performance prediction models; and (ii) selecting the particular computer resource based on the predicted performance scores.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to synchronized threads. Example apparatus disclosed herein identify a first trigger frequency associated with a first application thread, the first trigger frequency corresponding to first times of first requests associated with the first application thread. Disclosed example apparatus also identify a second trigger frequency associated with a second application thread, the second trigger frequency corresponding to second times of second requests associated with the second application thread, the second trigger frequency different from the first trigger frequency. Disclosed example apparatus further determine a third trigger frequency based on the first and second trigger frequencies, and adjust at least one of the first requests or the second requests to the third trigger frequency.

Abstract: Object detection systems and methods are provided. An object detection system comprises a plurality of nodes, each node having a transmitter configured to transmit a radar signal as a beam, and one or more receivers configured to receive a reflected radar signal. The nodes and transmitters are arranged such that the radar beam of one transmitter at least partly overlaps with the radar beam from the transmitter at an adjacent one of the nodes. The object detection system comprises a processor configured to receive a digitised signal from each node, process the digitised signal to detect characteristics of any Doppler effects created by the movement of an object through one or more of the radar beams, compare the Doppler characteristics with Doppler signatures associated with known objects, and thereby classify the object.
