Abstract: In an aspect, a field-deployable hardware apparatus includes a stackable housing, a graphical processing unit disposed within the stackable housing, the graphical processing unit comprising a first plurality of processor cores, a general-purpose processor disposed within the stackable housing, the general-purpose processor comprising a second plurality of processor cores, at least a binary unit system disposed within the stackable housing and connecting the graphical processing unit to the general-purpose processor, and a memory communicatively connected to at least a core of the first plurality of cores and the second plurality of cores, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a core to execute a hypervisor, wherein the hypervisor generates a virtual environment on the at least a core.

Abstract: A system on a chip may include a GPU, a CPU, a dedicated memory for the CPU, an FPGA, a dedicated memory for the FPGA, a control and data bus assembly connecting the FPGA, the CPU, and the GPU, wherein the FPGA, the CPU, and the GPU are configured to interact using the control and data bus assembly and an API configured to allow the same code to run on the FPGA, the CPU, and the GPU, a VPX, a first HSIO connection connecting the GPU to the VPX, a second HSIO connection connecting the CPU to the VPX, and a third HSIO connection connecting the FPGA to the VPX.

Abstract: A process for reorienting the plies within a multi-ply web includes the steps of: providing at least two plies, each ply having a first and a second opposing surface; combining the at least two plies together to form a multi-ply web; treating either the first or the second opposing surface of at least one ply of the multi-ply web forming a treated multi-ply web; winding the treated multi-ply web into a roll; unwinding the roll; and changing the orientation of the treated surface within the multi-ply web as the roll is unwound.
