Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to capturing content. Some techniques are described herein for physically moving a camera to capture a static representation of an environment. In such techniques, the static representation can be performed once for a video call so that video for the video call and the static representation can be combined to provide a greater field-of-view for a recipient. Other techniques are described herein for directing a camera towards different subjects. In such techniques, the camera can be directed towards a primary subject during content capture and, in response to a gaze of the primary subject satisfying a set of criteria with respect to another subject, the camera can be directed towards the other object.

Abstract: Techniques and systems optimize dataflow program execution on coarse-grain reconfigurable computing systems. For example, a method may select, from an intermediate representation, a set of operators of a dataflow program included in a mapping to hardware of a coarse-grain reconfigurable computing system. The method may compute, based on a mapping, an execution metric, determine an inefficiency, and output inefficiency results. The method initiate a presentation session, compose formatted inefficiency results in a presentation format, and output the formatted inefficiency results to an interface for use by a developer to modify the dataflow program.

Abstract: In a method, in response to an interface a computer-implemented analysis assistant initiates a presentation of inefficiency results, determined an efficiency analyzer based on a mapping of a dataflow program to execute on hardware of a computing system. The assistant receives an inefficiency included among the inefficiency results and composes formatted inefficiency results comprising a presentation format of the inefficiency to assist a developer of the dataflow program to interpret the inefficiency. The analysis assistant outputs the formatted inefficiency results to an interface, which can comprise an interface to output the formatted inefficiency results for use by the developer to improve the dataflow program in association with the inefficiency. In implementations the presentation can comprise an interactive presentation with a developer of the dataflow program. A computer program product and a computing system can implement the method.

Abstract: According to a computing method a compiler determines a recompute node included in a dataflow application and a checkpoint tensor produced by the recompute node. The compiler determines a recompute cost to recompute the checkpoint tensor, and a memory cost to checkpoint the checkpoint tensor in a memory. Based on the recompute cost and/or the memory cost, the compiler determines a solution cost and compares the solution cost to a solution threshold. Based on comparing the solution cost to the solution threshold, the compiler determines a checkpoint solution to execute the dataflow application. The checkpoint solution can comprise recomputing or checkpointing the checkpoint tensor. In some implementations, the compiler can determine a recompute ratio of the recompute cost to the memory cost and can compare the recompute ratio to the solution threshold. A computer program product and a computing system can implement aspects of the method.

Abstract: In a method a compiler performs a trial compilation to a low level (LL) intermediate representation (IR) of a high level (HL) decision to execute a dataflow application on a computing system. The LLIR comprises hardware resources to execute the application based on the HL decision and the compiler determines a trial result based on LL execution metrics associated with the trail compilation. The compiler performs a trial compilation of a second HL decision to a second LLIR and determines a trial result based on LL execution metrics associated with the second trail compilation. The compiler evaluates the trial results and, based on the evaluations, selects one or both of the HL decisions for executing the dataflow application. A computer program product and a computing system can implement the method.

A device may subsequent to writing the first plurality of tiles, retile the combination of the first plurality of tiles and the zero padding, to generate a second plurality of tiles. A device may cause a second section of the graph to process the second plurality of tiles.

Abstract: A processing graph of an application with a sequence of processing nodes is obtained which processes an input and generates an intermediate representation a further intermediate representation, and an output representation of the input at stages in the sequence of processing nodes. Graph metadata is generated that specifies a non-overlapping target tiling configuration for the output representation, an overlapping tiling configuration for the input, an overlapping tiling configuration for the intermediate representation, and a third tiling configuration for the further intermediate representation. The processing graph is modified based on the graph metadata to conform to the parameters specified by the graph metadata. A set of computer instructions is then created to execute the modified processing graph on a target processing system.
