Publication number: 20230102564Abstract: A device includes a vector register file, a memory, and a processor. The vector register file includes a plurality of vector registers. The memory is configured to store a permutation instruction. The processor is configured to access a periodicity parameter of the permutation instruction. The periodicity parameter indicates a count of a plurality of data sources that contain source data for the permutation instruction. The processor is also configured to execute the permutation instruction to, for each particular element of multiple elements of a first permutation result register of the plurality of vector registers, select a data source of the plurality of data sources based at least in part on the count of the plurality of data sources and populate the particular element based on a value in a corresponding element of the selected data source.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Srijesh SUDARSANAN, Deepak MATHEW, Mark HOFFMAN, Gerald SWEENEY, Sundar Rajan BALASUBRAMANIAN, Hongfeng DONG, Yurong SUN, Seyedmehdi SADEGHZADEH

Publication number: 20220414507Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for efficient global qubit placement within a quantum computing environment for a quantum program. Some embodiments utilize a graph-based approach to represent positions in a quantum computing environment, and optimize the graph layout using a graph processing algorithm to rearrange layers of a graph and reduce edge crossings. A layered graph associated with minimum cost is selected and utilized as an efficient layered graph for purposes of global qubit placement at various time steps of execution. Embodiments provide satisfactory approximations that avoid the NP-hard nature of this task to significantly reduce compilation time to a solution for global qubit placement as opposed to optimal global qubit placement while additionally identifying solutions that significantly reduce overall execution time and computing resource usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Alexander CHERNOGUZOV, Stephen James RAGOLE, Megan Lynn KOHAGEN, David HAYES, Ian Mark HOFFMAN

Patent number: 11388261Abstract: Aspects described herein provide improved system architectures for a cross-domain proxy so that server/controller software may be placed in a cloud-based environment, with only limited equipment required on-premises at a user location for use by application client software. Aspects described herein provide techniques for communicating information between disparate domains, while each party to the transaction believes it is on the same domain as the other party to the transaction. Aspects described herein generally relate to a method to transparently transport the Citrix Brokering Protocol (CBP, or other protocols) between On-Premises VDAs (e.g., virtualized Windows computers) to an In-Cloud Broker running on the Desktop Delivery Controllers (DDCs) when each resides in different domains. Using aspects described herein, resources that otherwise need to be co-located on the same administrative domain can be moved to different domains, e.g., using a cloud-based system architecture.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Mark Hoffman, Jitendra Deshpande, Sam Arun Seeniraj

Patent number: 9626248Abstract: A method begins by a processing module of a dispersed storage network (DSN) detecting a likelihood of having a missing encoded data slice based on local physical to DSN address mapping information. When the likelihood of having the missing encoded data slice exists, the method continues with the processing module sending a query regarding the missing encoded data slice to another storage unit of the DSN and receiving a response to the query from the other storage unit. When the response includes identity of a related encoded data slice of a set of encoded data slices, the method continues with the processing module commencing execution of a rebuilding function to generate a new encoded data slice to replace the missing encoded data slice.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Steven Mark Hoffman, Jason K.
