  • Publication number: 20250173604
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for iteratively co-designing hardware and software elements of a device configuration to optimize it. This process can predict how software parameters and hardware parameters will perform in the device configuration using a machine learning process that simulates how the device configuration will perform. The corresponding input (e.g., software/hardware parameters) and output (e.g., model accuracy evaluation value for software parameters and hardware cost estimation value for hardware parameters) determined from the machine learning process can be used for various purposes, including used to train a machine learning (ML) model to select the optimized device configuration in view of the various constraints.

  • Publication number: 20250109434
    Abstract: A polymer is disposed through a nanopore that encodes a polynucleotide's sequence and includes monomer units that encode nucleotides and include first and second reporter moieties and first and second arresting constructs. The first reporter moiety is translocated into the nanopore's aperture, where a first value of an electrical property of the first reporter moiety is measured while the first arresting construct pauses translocation. The second reporter moiety is translocated into the aperture, where a second value of an electrical property of the second reporter moiety is measured while the second arresting construct pauses translocation. The first value and the second value for each monomer unit is used to identify the nucleotide encoded by that monomer unit; and distinguish the nucleotide encoded by that monomer unit from the nucleotides encoded by adjacent monomer units, including by those that encode the same type of nucleotide as that monomer unit.

  • Publication number: 20250077584
    Abstract: Examples of the presently disclosed technology provide hardware accelerators (referred to herein as treeShap-aCAMs) that compute Shapley values with improved speed/efficiency leveraging the unique parallel search and analog capabilities of aCAMs. The parallel search capability of a treeShap-aCAM enables evaluation of all root-to-leaf paths of a decision tree (programmed into separate rows of the treeShap-aCAM) in a single clock cycle, greatly reducing time required to compute Shapley values. Relatedly, a treeShap-aCAM's ability to store/evaluate analog values (as opposed to merely binary values), can reduce footprint and hardware (e.g., reduce the number of CAM cells) required to perform Shapley value computations. Accordingly, treeShap-aCAMs can compute Shapley values more rapidly/efficiently than other types of hardware accelerators that e.g., implement algorithms that traverse root-to-leaf paths of decision trees node-to-node.
