  • Publication number: 20230134683
    Abstract: Various approaches for configuring interleaving in a memory pool used in an edge computing arrangement, including with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units, are disclosed. An example system may discover and map disaggregated memory resources at respective compute locations connected to each another via at least one interconnect. The system may identify workload requirements for use of the compute locations by respective workloads, for workloads provided by client devices to the compute locations. The system may determine an interleaving arrangement for a memory pool that fulfills the workload requirements, to use the interleaving arrangement to distribute data for the respective workloads among the disaggregated memory resources. The system may configure the memory pool for use by the client devices of the network, as the memory pool causes the disaggregated memory resources to host data based on the interleaving arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20230135938
    Abstract: Various approaches for service mech switching, including the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units, are disclosed. For example, a packet that includes a service request for a service may be received at a networking infrastructure device. The service may include an application that spans multiple nodes in a network. An outbound interface of the networking infrastructure device may be selected through which to route the packet. The selection of the outbound interface may be based on a service component of the service request in the packet and network metrics that correspond to the service. The packet may then be transmitted using the outbound interface.

  • Patent number: 11613350
    Abstract: A VTOL aircraft includes a plurality of lift propellers configured to rotated by lift motors to provide vertical thrust during takeoff, landing and hovering operations. The lift propellers are configured to generate a cooling airflow to cool the lift motors during use. During a cruise operation when the VTOL aircraft is in forward motion, the lift propellers may be stowed in a stationary position. Therefore, the cooling airflow may be reduced or eliminated when it is not needed.

  • Publication number: 20230078777
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of hyperspectral image correction includes the step of generating one or more lookup tables with a radiative transfer model for converting an at-sensor digital number image from a hyperspectral satellite to a bottom of atmosphere radiance and reflectance value image. The intermediate method includes conversion of at-sensor image DN values to TOA radiance and then to TOA reflectance. Later, the method include creating a pre-classification layer using the TOA reflectance image to mask the TOA radiance image. Further, the method includes performing aerosol correction on the masked at-sensors radiance image by applying a pixel-wise albedo estimation using the one or more lookup tables to generate an aerosol corrected radiance image. The method includes performing a water vapor correction on the aerosol corrected radiance image to generate a BOA radiance image. At last, the method includes converting the BOA radiance image to a BOA reflectance.

  • Publication number: 20230036751
    Abstract: A network processing device identifies a first request to access a line of memory in a remote memory resource and determines, based on the address of the line of memory, that the line of memory is associated with a sparse region in a memory pool. The address is provided as an input to a probabilistic data structure, where the probabilistic data structure is to generate a result to identify whether the line of memory includes a common data pattern. The network processing device returns the common data pattern as a response to the first request if the result of the probabilistic data structure indicates that the first line of memory includes the common data pattern.
