Abstract: An expandable vehicle comprising a vehicle chassis and an expandable structure that is fixed to, carried by, and supported by the vehicle chassis. The expandable structure is expanded when the expandable vehicle is stationary for the stationary purpose of the expandable vehicle and is contracted when the expandable vehicle is being moved. The expandable structure comprises an expandable frame and an expandable body. The expandable body is fixed to, carried by, and supported by the expandable frame while the expandable frame is fixed to, carried by, and supported by the vehicle chassis. As the expandable frame is expanded and contracted, the expandable body is correspondingly expanded and contracted.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an blocking delivery service is provided. The service may use an identifier of a source end device, destination address information associated with a destination end device, and configurable criteria as a basis to block delivery of application service layer data. The service may be configured to apply to end devices based on an addressing scheme of the service. The service may be configured on a network device that provides an application service. The service may block delivery without the use of class of service or subscriber provisioning.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing register compaction with early release are disclosed. A processor includes at least a command processor, a plurality of compute units, a plurality of registers, and a control unit. Registers are statically allocated to wavefronts by the control unit when wavefronts are launched by the command processor on the compute units. In response to determining that a first set of registers, previously allocated to a first wavefront, are no longer needed, the first wavefront executes an instruction to release the first set of registers. The control unit detects the executed instruction and releases the first set of registers to the available pool of registers to potentially be used by other wavefronts. Then, the control unit can allocate the first set of registers to a second wavefront for use by threads of the second wavefront while the first wavefront is still active.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for enforcing processor quality of service guarantees when servicing system service requests (SSRs) are disclosed. A system includes a first processor executing an operating system and a second processor executing an application which generates SSRs for the first processor to service. The first processor monitors the number of cycles spent servicing SSRs over a previous time interval, and if this number of cycles is above a threshold, the first processor starts delaying the servicing of subsequent SSRs. In one implementation, if the previous delay was non-zero, the first processor increases the delay used in the servicing of subsequent SSRs. If the number of cycles is less than or equal to the threshold, then the first processor services SSRs without delay. As the delay is increased, the second processor begins to stall and its SSR generation rate falls, reducing the load on the first processor.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing an allreduce operation on an enhanced direct memory access (DMA) engine are disclosed. A system implements a machine learning application which includes a first kernel and a second kernel. The first kernel corresponds to a first portion of a machine learning model while the second kernel corresponds to a second portion of the machine learning model. The first kernel is invoked on a plurality of compute units and the second kernel is converted into commands executable by an enhanced DMA engine to perform a collective communication operation. The first kernel is executed on the plurality of compute units in parallel with the enhanced DMA engine executing the commands for performing the collective communication operation. As a result, the allreduce operation may be executed in parallel on the enhanced DMA engine to the compute units.
