Abstract: A system for handling errors in a neural network includes a neural network processor for executing a neural network associated with use of a vehicle. The neural network processor includes an error detector configured to detect a data error associated with execution of the neural network and a neural network controller configured to receive a report of the data error from the error detector. In response to receiving the report, the neural network controller is further configured to signal that a pending result of the neural network is tainted without terminating execution of the neural network.

Abstract: An integrated circuit with specialized processing blocks are provided. A specialized processing block may be optimized for machine learning algorithms and may include a multiplier data path that feeds an adder data path. The multiplier data path may be decomposed into multiple partial product generators, multiple compressors, and multiple carry-propagate adders of a first precision. Results from the carry-propagate adders may be added using a floating-point adder of the first precision. Results from the floating-point adder may be optionally cast to a second precision that is higher or more accurate than the first precision. The adder data path may include an adder of the second precision that combines the results from the floating-point adder with zero, with a general-purpose input, or with other dot product terms. Operated in this way, the specialized processing block provides a technical improvement of greatly increasing the functional density for implementing machine learning algorithms.

Abstract: The new and distinct threadleaf coreopsis plant, Coreopsis verticillata plant named ‘Zesty Zinger’, with linear, foliage of bright-green, numerous flowers with ray petals with ray petals dark magenta lightening to ivory tips, blooming over a prolonged season from mid-summer until early fall. The new plant is useful as a specimen landscape plant, mass planting, container plant and cut flower.

Abstract: A method includes allocating a first single-cycle instruction to a first pipeline that picks single-cycle instructions for execution in program order. The method further includes marking at least one source register of the first single-cycle instruction as ready for execution in the first pipeline in response to all older single-cycle instructions allocated to the first pipeline being ready and eligible to be picked for execution. An apparatus includes a decoder to decode a first single-cycle instruction and to allocate the first single-cycle instruction to a first pipeline. The apparatus further includes a scheduler to pick single-cycle instructions for execution by the first pipeline in program order and to mark at least one source register of the first single-cycle instruction as ready for execution in the first pipeline in response to determining that all older single-cycle instructions allocated to the first pipeline are ready and eligible.
