  • Patent number: 11868250
    Abstract: A processor having a functional slice architecture is divided into a plurality of functional units (“tiles”) organized into a plurality of slices. Each slice is configured to perform specific functions within the processor, which may include memory slices (MEM) for storing operand data, and arithmetic logic slices for performing operations on received operand data. The tiles of the processor are configured to stream operand data across a first dimension, and receive instructions across a second dimension orthogonal to the first dimension. The timing of data and instruction flows are configured such that corresponding data and instructions are received at each tile with a predetermined temporal relationship, allowing operand data to be transmitted between the slices of the processor without any accompanying metadata. Instead, each slice is able to determine what operations to perform on received data based upon the timing at which the data is received.

  • Patent number: 11856226
    Abstract: Introduced here is a technique to create small compressed image files while preserving data quality upon decompression. Upon receiving an uncompressed data, such as an image, a video, an audio, and/or a structured data, a machine learning model identifies an object in the uncompressed data such as a house, a dog, a text, a distinct audio signal, a unique data pattern, etc. The identified object is compressed using a compression treatment optimized for the identified object. The identified object, either before or after the compression, is removed from the uncompressed data. The uncompressed data with the identified object removed is compressed using a standard compression treatment.

  • Patent number: 11849072
    Abstract: Methods and system for automating conferencing in a communication session are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for automating conferencing in a communication session includes establishing a communication session between a first end-user device and a second end-user device; receiving a first notification message from the first end-user device indicating that the communication session is at least one of visible or joinable by one or more devices associated with the first end-user device, wherein the one or more devices are associated with the first end-user device when the one or more devices are one of (i) pre-registered and stored with an association to the first end-user device, (ii) pre-authenticated to tether the one or more devices to the first end-user device, or (iii) pre-associated with a same user account profile; and sending a second notification message to the one or more devices associated with the first end-user device.

  • Patent number: 11809514
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a kernel used to convolve with an input tensor. For a first dimension of the kernel, a square block of values for each single dimensional vector of the kernel that includes all rotations of that single dimensional vector is generated. For each additional dimension of the kernel, group blocks of an immediately preceding dimension into sets of blocks, each set of blocks including blocks of the immediately preceding dimension that are aligned along a vector that is parallel to the axis of the dimension; and generate, for the additional dimension, one or more blocks of values, each block including all rotations of blocks within each of the sets of blocks of the immediately preceding dimension. The block of values corresponding to the last dimension in the additional dimensions of the kernel is output as the expanded kernel.

  • Publication number: 20230333900
    Abstract: Improved placement of workload requests in a hosted compute resource uses a ‘friendly’ cuckoo hash algorithm to assign each workload request to an appropriately configured compute resource. When a first workload request is received, the workload is assigned to the compute resource module that has been pre-configured to execute that workload. Subsequent requests for a similar workload are either assigned to a second pre-configured compute resource or queued behind the first workload request.

  • Publication number: 20230291715
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for DNS leak prevention and protection, including protection against DNS tunneling attacks, are disclosed herein. In particular, certain embodiments include a local DNS protection agent installed on a system and an associated trusted external DNS protection server. The DNS protection agent prevents DNS leaks from applications on the system such that all DNS requests from the system are confined to requests from the DNS protection agent to the associated DNS protection server. As the DNS leak prevention provided by the DNS protection agent stops applications on the system from circumventing the DNS protection server, all DNS requests originating from the system remain under the control of the DNS protection server and thus desired DNS protection (e.g., as implemented on the DNS protection server) may be maintained. Certain embodiments prevent applications from using certain DNS security protocols, such as DoH and DoT, without going through the DNS protection agent.
