Abstract: Disclosed are integrated systems and methods employing distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems and methods to locate buried and/or aerial cables, as well as loop-back aerial cable sections and slack fiber lengths, in real-time. In sharp contrast to the prior art, systems and methods according to aspects of the present disclosure provide the location of cables without necessitating the opening of manholes/hand holes or pull cables to the round—thereby making the overall process faster, more cost-effective and more accurate and precise. Our inventive systems and methods provide a reliable and accurate alternative to current methods utilizing optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR), which requires known and accessible locations and may be ineffective for legacy fibers. By implementing systems and methods according to the present disclosure, service providers, carriers, and owners can efficiently maintain optical fiber networks and ensure reliable services for users.

Abstract: Disclosed is a stroke-based differentiable rendering for both representation of spatiotemporal sensor data and unsupervised spatiotemporal events detection wherein we encode DAS waterfall data into a structured latent space based on parameterized brushstrokes. The structured brushstroke representation can (1) suppress background noise and distracting clutters from the original waterfall data, (2) allow easy leverage of geometrical prior knowledge for physics-informed pattern recognition. Guided by multiple specially designed targets that emphasize different aspects of the original data, the optimized strokes not only preserve the salient information, but also align well with the original data in terms of spatial and temporal coordinates. As a results, it also provides pixel-level annotation as a byproduct. Based on long term DFOS data and cumulative statistics, we can further localize landmarks (such as traffic lights, manholes, etc.) from the waterfall data. These landmarks can be used for cable mapping.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method include accessing a request for allocating graphical processing unit (GPU) resources for performing an operation. The request includes metadata identifying a client identifier associated with a client, throughput, and a latency of the operation. A predicted resource limit for performing the operation is determined based on the metadata. A parameter of GPU resources is obtained. The parameter includes a status indicating whether a GPU resource is occupied for performing another operation. A GPU resource utilization value is determined for each node based on the status. The GPU resource utilization value indicates the amount of utilization of GPU resources of the corresponding node. The GPU resource utilization value of each node is compared with a pre-defined resource utilization threshold value. The GPU resources are re-scheduled based on the predicted resource limit. Further, a set of GPU resources from the re-scheduled GPU resources for performing the operation.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to resource allocation among a plurality of clients, for using a cloud-based service, e.g., a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) service. A first target amount of resource and a second target amount of resource can be allocated to a first client and a second client (respectively). A first and a second client, a first target amount of resource can be allocated to a first client, and a second target amount of resource can be allocated to a second client for using the service. A request can be received from a third client for allocating resources; estimating that (i) the first client is using a first subset of the first target amount and not using a second subset of first target amount, and (ii) the second client is using a third subset of the second target amount and not using a fourth subset of second target amount. It can be determined that the second subset is greater than the fourth subset.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method include receiving a request for allocating graphical processing unit (GPU) resources for performing an operation. The request includes metadata identifying a client identifier (ID) associated with a client, throughput, and latency of the operation. A resource limit is determined for performing the operation based on the metadata. Attributes associated with each GPU resource of a plurality of GPU resources available for assignment are obtained. The attribute is analyzed that is associated with each GPU resource with respect to the resource limit. A set of GPU resources is identified from the plurality of GPU resources based on the analysis. A dedicated AI cluster is generated by patching the set of GPU resources within a single cluster. The dedicated AI cluster reserves a portion of a computation capacity of a computing system for a period of time and the dedicated AI cluster is allocated to the client associated with the client ID.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to secure deployment of model weights from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) platform to a cloud service. The method includes accessing the model metadata and a set of weights of a GenAI model associated with a GenAI platform. These model weights may be encrypted using a first encryption key that may be provided in the model metadata. These encrypted model weights may be decrypted based on the model metadata by utilizing the first encryption key from the model metadata. Each key may be associated with the specific type of GenAI model. Before storing the model weights from the GenAI platform cloud tenancy to a cloud storage in GenAI home region, the model weights may be encrypted again by utilizing a second encryption key. This encryption by the cloud may enable independent control over the sensitive information during transit and storing.
