A process-assignment duration may be defined, and an availability of a process-performing resource may be detected. A performance time may be determined based on the availability of the process-performing resource. Instruction to perform the process at the performance time may transmitted to at least one resource-controlling device. The provisional electronic composite for the load may be modified based on the performance time and the instruction to form an updated electronic composite.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to computer-implemented techniques for improving the training of artificial neural networks using a reduced precision (e.g., float16) data format. Embodiments of the present invention rescale tensor values prior to performing matrix operations (such as matrix multiplication or matrix addition) to prevent overflow and underflow. To preserve accuracy throughout the performance of the matrix operations, the scale factors are defined using a novel data format to represent tensors, wherein a matrix is represented by the tuple X, where X=(a, v[.]), wherein a is a float scale factor and v[.] are scaled values stored in the float16 format. The value of any element X[i] according to this data format would be equal to a*v[i].

The method further includes modifying the reference to the image based on the rendering size of the image.

Abstract: Techniques relate to facilitating assignments of tasks to promote efficient resource timetables. A first communication from a client device is received that corresponds to an electronic request to sue a resource to complete a task. A task type of the task and a client corresponding to the electronic request are identified. Usage data corresponding to the task type and client are identified. A task-assignment duration is defined based on the usage data and a buffer time period. An availability in a timetable of a resource that is of a duration that is at least as long as the task-assignment duration is identified. A second communication identifying a start time of the availability is transmitted to the client device. A third communication is received that accepts the start time, and a fourth communication is transmitted to a device controlling use of the resource that identifies the client, task and availability.
