Abstract: Metadata received from each worker computing device describes EDF estimates for samples of marginal variables stored on each respective worker computing device. Combinations of the EDF estimates are enumerated and assigned to each worker computing device based on the metadata. A request to compute outcome expectation measure values for an outcome expectation measure is initiated to each worker computing device based on the assigned combinations. The outcome expectation measure values computed by each worker computing device are received from each respective worker computing device. The received outcome expectation measure values are accumulated for the outcome expectation measure. A mean value and a standard deviation value are computed for the outcome expectation measure from the accumulated, received outcome expectation measure values. The computed mean and standard deviation values for the outcome expectation measure are output to represent an expected outcome based on the marginal variables.

Abstract: Systems and methods validate the operation of a component of an executable model without inadvertently altering the behavior of the component. The model may be partitioned into a design space and a verification space. The component may be placed in the design space, while an observer for validating the component may be placed in the verification space, and linked to the component. During execution of the model, input or output values for the component may be computed and buffered. Execution of the observer may follow execution of the component. The input or output values may be read out of the buffer, and utilized during execution of validation functionality defined for the observer. Model compilation operations that may inadvertently alter the behavior of the component, such as back propagation of attributes, are blocked between the observer and the component.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a method and a system for message based communication and failure recovery for FPGA middleware framework. A combination of FPGA and middleware framework provides a high throughput, low latency messaging and can reduce development time as most of the components can be re-used. Further the message based communication architecture built on a FPGA framework performs middleware activities that would enable reliable communication using TCP/UDP between different platforms regardless of their deployment. The proposed FPGA middleware framework provides for reliable communication of UDP based on TCP as well as failure recovery with minimum latency during a failover of an active FPGA framework during its operation, by using a passive FPGA in real-time and dynamic synchronization with the active FPGA.
