Abstract: Techniques for combining the functionality of fabric interconnects and switches (e.g., Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches) into one network entity, thereby reducing the number of devices in a fabric and complexity of communications in the fabric. By collapsing FI and ToR switch functionality into one network entity, server traffic may be directly forwarded by the ToR switch and an entire tier is now eliminated from the topology hierarchy which may improve the control, data, and management plane. Further, this disclosure describes techniques for dynamically managing the number of gateway proxies running on one or more computer clusters based on a number of managed switch domains.

Abstract: A server can receive a request to subscribe to a data tenancy in an extended region. The server can determine a size of stored data records associated with the data tenancy in a home region to be replicated in the extended region. Based in part on the size of the stored data records, the server can open a new communication channel dedicated to replicating the stored data records from the first server in the home region to the second server in the extended region. The server can pull the stored data records from the first server in the home region, store the pulled data records on the second sever in the extended region. The server can receive updated data records over an established communication channel between the first server in the home region and the second server in the extended region and store the updated data records on the second server.

Abstract: A repository of replicated chunk files is analyzed to identify chunk files that meet at least a portion of combination criteria. Selected chunk files are associated together under a data protection grouping container. Erasure coding is applied to the data protection grouping container including by utilizing the selected chunk files as different data stripes of the erasure coding and generating one or more parity stripes based on the different data stripes.

Abstract: Clusters of resources at network edges are administered using a control plane that issues commands to those resources. A command sent to cause a resource to perform a function specifies a target state for the resource. The command may be modified, or an alternate command may be generated, based on the characteristics of the resource, which may enable a single command to be used to cause multiple types of resources to perform a function. Based on the characteristics of the resource or of the function, a different target state, and in some cases intermediate states that may occur before the target state, may be determined. As the resource performs the function, telemetry data is received. The current state of the resource determined from the telemetry data is compared to the valid intermediate and target states, and output indicating the states of the resource as valid or erroneous is generated.

Abstract: Described is a packaging technology to improve performance of an AI processing system. An IC package is provided which comprises: a substrate; a first die on the substrate, and a second die stacked over the first die. The first die includes memory and the second die includes computational logic. The first die comprises DRAM having bit-cells. The memory of the first die may store input data and weight factors. The computational logic of the second die is coupled to the memory of the first die.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods in which a surgeon can use computer-implemented deformity assessment and correction tools to create 3D models of a bone. To ensure adequate healing, a surgeon may choose to use a prefabricated bone plate, a semi-customized bone plate, or a fully-customized bone plate to hold first and second bone portions in a corrected position. To select the appropriate prefabricated bone plate, the surgeon may identify three landmark locations on the first and second bone portions corresponding to desired fixation hole locations on the bone plate. The surgeon can then use a software application to evaluate multiple bone plate designs in a library and compare the average proximity of the landmark locations to fixation hole locations on each of the bone plate designs. Then, the surgeon can determine which bone plate design best fits the patient anatomy based on his comparison.

Abstract: A system for data warehouse workload transformation is disclosed. A data extraction module receives job metadata from one or more extract transform load applications, extracts domain logic information from the job metadata. A canonical model generation module creates one or more relational models from the domain logic information, generates a canonical model for the job metadata by merging the one or more relational models. A model optimization module creates a query execution plan using an optimization technique, passes the canonical model through one or more optimization layers, and optimizes the query execution plan to execute common logic at a single point of time for removing one or more redundant operations. A code generation module generates an output code corresponding to the predefined target environment from an optimized canonical model, upon mapping of the one or more entities, for the workload transformation.
