  • Publication number: 20230136853
    Abstract: A method for maintaining equipment by remote operation and assistance, applied in an electronic device, obtains on-site information in response to a failure notification, and queries maintenance guidance information according to the on-site information. When the maintenance guidance information exists, the electronic device displays or plays the maintenance guidance information by Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, collects user operation data of a maintenance operation in real time, compares the user operation data with the maintenance guidance information, and prompts a user to correct a maintenance operation when a comparison indicates that a current repair or maintenance operation is erroneous. When the maintenance guidance information does not exist, the electronic device establishes a connection with a remote expert terminal by the AR glasses, and obtains real-time guidance from the remote expert terminal.

  • Patent number: 11397580
    Abstract: Methods, devices and media for reducing register pressure in flexible vector processors are described. In various embodiments described herein, methods, devices and media are disclosed that selectively re-scalarize vector instructions in a sequence of instructions such that register pressure is reduced and thread level parallelism is increased. A compiler may be used to perform a first method to partially or fully scalarize vectorized instructions of a code region of high register pressure. A compiler may be used to perform a second method to fully scalarize a sequence of vectorized instructions while preserving associations of the scalar instructions with their original vectorized instructions; the scalar instructions may then be scheduled and selectively re-vectorized. Devices executing code compiled with either method are described, as are processor-readable media storing code compiled by either method.

  • Patent number: 11366646
    Abstract: A method for scheduling instructions for execution on a computer system includes scanning a plurality of loop instructions that are modulo scheduled to identify a first instruction and a second instruction that both utilize a register of the computer system upon execution of the plurality of instructions. The loop has a first initiation interval. The first instruction defines a first value of the register in a first iteration of the loop and the second instruction redefines the value of the register to a second value in a subsequent iteration of the loop prior to a use of the first value in the first iteration of the loop. A copy instruction is inserted in the loop instructions to copy the first value prior to execution of the second instruction. A schedule is determined after the insertion of the one or more copy instructions giving a second initiation interval.
