  • Publication number: 20230229910
    Abstract: A compute block includes a DMA engine that reads data from an external memory and write the data into a local memory of the compute block. An MAC array in the compute block may use the data to perform convolutions. The external memory may store weights of one or more filters in a memory layout that comprises a sequence of sections for each filter. Each section may correspond to a channel of the filter and may store all the weights in the channel. The DMA engine may convert the memory layout to a different memory layout, which includes a sequence of new sections for each filter. Each new section may include a weight vector that includes a sequence of weights, each of which is from a different channel. The DMA engine may also compress the weights, e.g., by removing zero valued weights, before the conversion of the memory layout.

  • Patent number: 11588842
    Abstract: One or more network tests for a network are selected, wherein the selected one or more network tests simulate an attempt to establish an anomalous network configuration. A network configuration update is generated based on the selected one or more network tests and the network configuration update is issued to a network-based device. A performance of the network is monitored for establishment of the anomalous network configuration in response to the network configuration update and a configuration of the network is revised based on the monitored performance of the network, to mitigate the establishment of the anomalous network configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230017662
    Abstract: An DNN accelerator includes a DMA engine that can rearrange weight data layout. The DMA engine may read a weight tensor from a memory (e.g., DRAM). The weight tensor includes weights arranged in a 3D matrix. The DMA engine may partition the weight tensor into a plurality of virtual banks based on a structure of a PE array, e.g., based on the number of activated PE columns in the PE array. Then the DMA engine may partition a virtual bank into a plurality of virtual sub-banks. The DMA engine may also identify data blocks from different ones of the plurality of virtual sub-banks. A data block may include a plurality of input channels and may have a predetermined spatial size and storage size. The DMA engine form a linear data structure by interleaving the data blocks. The DMA engine can write the linear data structure into another memory (e.g., SRAM).

  • Publication number: 20230015376
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a device which is directed toward a compact, portable, lightweight and modular device for the integrity testing of equipment to determine fluid pressure, temperature and flow rates at specific locations throughout a system. The present invention provides the ability and capability to acquire data via immediate, intermediate or distanced pressure and temperature monitoring, observation and collection. Said results may be directly monitored, at an immediate, intermediate or distanced proximity, and thereby collected and digitally stored and/or transmitted, via real-time data collection and transmission, to an on-site or off-site operator or manager for remote active or passive data collection, data monitoring, data analysis and data management.

  • Publication number: 20230018857
    Abstract: Sparsity processing within a compute block can be done on unpacked data. The compute block includes a sparsity decoder that generates a combined sparsity vector from an activation sparsity vector and a weight sparsity vector. The activation sparsity vector indicates positions of non-zero valued activations in an activation context. The weight sparsity vector indicates positions of non-zero valued weights in a weight context. The combined sparsity vector comprises one or more zero valued bits and one or more non-zero valued bits. The sparsity decoder may determine the position of a non-zero valued bit in the combined sparsity vector and determine an address for the non-zero valued activation and the non-zero valued weight based on the position of the non-zero valued bit. The non-zero valued activation and the non-zero valued weight may be provided to a PE for performing MAC operations.
