Abstract: In an approach, a processor preprocesses a corpus of documents of a given subject matter by: scanning each document in the corpus to identify stop words, which either is a high occurrence word that appears in at least a first pre-set threshold number of documents or a low occurrence word that appears in less than a second pre-set threshold number of documents; adding the stop words to a list of stop words; performing a spellcheck function on the corpus of documents; scanning each document in the corpus to identify subject matter relevant words based on the given subject matter; adding the identified SMR words to a list of SMR words; and assigning a weight to each identified SMR word based on a term frequency. A processor performs a similarity assessment on the corpus using the list of stop words and the list of SMR words with associated weights.

Abstract: A system and a method for providing rewards to a user for in-game achievements across multiple third-party game platforms are disclosed. The system includes a user account module for storing user profiles, an SDK module integrated with each game platform for defining in-game achievements and associated rewards, and an API module for receiving information about these achievements. The API module generates an achievement signal when a user completes an achievement. A processing module receives this signal, determines the corresponding rewards using the SDK module, and adds these rewards to the user's profile via the user account module, providing a personalized gaming experience across multiple platforms.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to application partitioning for locality in a stacked memory system. In an embodiment, one or more memory dies are stacked on the processor die. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles and each memory die includes multiple memory tiles. Vertically aligned memory tiles are directly coupled to and comprise the local memory block for a corresponding processing tile. An application program that operates on dense multi-dimensional arrays (matrices) may partition the dense arrays into sub-arrays associated with program tiles. Each program tile is executed by a processing tile using the processing tile's local memory block to process the associated sub-array. Data associated with each sub-array is stored in a local memory block and the processing tile corresponding to the local memory block executes the program tile to process the sub-array data.

Abstract: A system and a method for managing an avatar across multiple three-dimensional (3D) rendering platforms are disclosed. The system includes a content database, a content delivery module, a Software Development Kit (SDK) module, and an Application Programming Interface (API) module. The content database stores a 3D avatar model and associated first assets. The SDK module integrates with an in-engine avatar customization module of each 3D rendering platform and allows users to use these assets to customize their avatar during runtime. The API module receives requests for avatar and asset data. The content delivery module fetches requested avatar data and assets in response to requests received at the API module and delivers the requests to the SDK module. Additionally, the content delivery module fetches, stores, and manages second assets used for avatar customization from the SDK module.

Abstract: One embodiment sets forth a technique for performing one or more matrix multiplication operations based on a first matrix and a second matrix. The technique includes receiving data associated with the first matrix from a first traversal engine that accesses nonzero elements included in the first matrix via a first tree structure. The technique also includes performing one or more computations on the data associated with the first matrix and the data associated with the second matrix to produce a plurality of partial results. The technique further includes combining the plurality of partial results into one or more intermediate results and storing the one or more intermediate results in a first buffer memory.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to memory page access instrumentation for generating a memory access profile. The memory access profile may be used to co-locate data near the processing unit that accesses the data, reducing memory access energy by minimizing distances to access data that is co-located with a different processing unit (i.e., remote data). Execution thread arrays and memory pages for execution of a program are partitioned across multiple processing units. The partitions are then each mapped to a specific processing unit to minimize inter-partition traffic given the processing unit physical topology.

Abstract: The present teachings contemplate a method comprising coating an polymeric material with a composition including a dicarbonyl compound and having a viscosity of from about 50 cps to about 500 cps, wherein the coating initiates either: (i) spontaneous polymerization (e.g., in less than about one minute) at room temperature of the composition without the addition of an initiator; or (ii) polymerization at room temperature at a selected later time with or without the addition of an initiator; and wherein the composition adheres or facilitates adhesion of the polymeric material to a substrate.

Abstract: An initiating processing tile generates an offload request that may include a processing tile ID, source data needed for the computation, program counter, and destination location where the computation result is stored. The offload processing tile may execute the offloaded computation. Alternatively, the offload processing tile may deny the offload request based on congestion criteria. The congestion criteria may include a processing workload measure, whether a resource needed to perform the computation is available, and an offload request buffer fullness. In an embodiment, the denial message that is returned to the initiating processing tile may include the data needed to perform the computation (read from the local memory of the offload processing tile). Returning the data with the denial message results in the same inter-processing tile traffic that would occur if no attempt to offload the computation were initiated.

Abstract: A hierarchical network enables access for a stacked memory system including or more memory dies that each include multiple memory tiles. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles that are stacked with the one or more memory die. The memory tiles that are vertically aligned with a processing tile are directly coupled to the processing tile and comprise the local memory block for the processing tile. The hierarchical network provides access paths for each processing tile to access the processing tile's local memory block, the local memory block coupled to a different processing tile within the same processing die, memory tiles in a different die stack, and memory tiles in a different device. The ratio of memory bandwidth (byte) to floating-point operation (B:F) may improve 50× for accessing the local memory block compared with conventional memory. Additionally, the energy consumed to transfer each bit may be reduced by 10×.
