Abstract: The present technique provides an apparatus and method for caching data. The apparatus has a cache storage to cache data associated with memory addresses, a first interface to receive access requests, where each access request is a request to access data at a memory address indicated by that access request, and a second interface to couple to a memory controller used to control access to memory. Further, cache control circuitry is used to control allocation of data into the cache storage in accordance with a power consumption based allocation policy that seeks to select which data is cached in the cache storage with the aim of conserving power associated with accesses to the memory via the second interface.

Abstract: Implementations are directed to using an assistant to initiate automated telephone calls with entities. Some implementations identify an item of interest, identify a group of entities associated with the item, and initiate the calls with the entities. During a given call with a given entity, the assistant can request a status update regarding the item, and determine a temporal delay before initiating another call with the given entity to request a further status update regarding the item based on information received responsive to the request. Other implementations receive a request to perform an action on behalf of a user, identify a group of entities that can perform the action, and initiate a given call with a given entity. During the given call, the assistant can initiate an additional call with an additional entity, and generate notification(s), for the user, based on result(s) of the given call and/or the additional call.

Abstract: A processing system includes a system interconnect, a processor coupled to communicate with other components in the processing system through the system interconnect, distributed general purpose registers (GPRs) in the processing system wherein a first subset of the distributed GPRs is located in the processor and a second subset of the distributed GPRs is located in the processing system and external to the processor, and a first set of conductors directly connected between the processor and the second subsets of the distributed GPRs. An instruction execution pipeline in the processor accesses any register in the first and second subsets of the distributed GPRs as part of the processor's GPRs during instruction execution in the processor, in which the second subset of the distributed GPRs is accessed through the first conductor.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to reducing latency in automated assistant interactions. In some implementations, a client device can receive audio data that captures a spoken utterance of a user. The audio data can be processed to determine an assistant command to be performed by an automated assistant. The assistant command can be processed, using a latency prediction model, to generate a predicted latency to fulfill the assistant command. Further, the client device (or the automated assistant) can determine, based on the predicted latency, whether to audibly render pre-cached content for presentation to the user prior to audibly rendering content that is responsive to the spoken utterance. The pre-cached content can be tailored to the assistant command and audibly rendered for presentation to the user while the content is being obtained, and the content can be audibly rendered for presentation to the user subsequent to the pre-cached content.
