Abstract: A method of operating a depth-wise separable convolutional (DSC) network on a DSC accelerator includes determining a difference between a first throughput associated with a depth-wise convolution (DWC) engine of the DSC accelerator and a second throughput associated with a point-wise convolution (PWC) engine of the DSC accelerator. The method also includes selectively activating, for each layer of the DSC network, each first processing elements (PEs) in one or more of a first set of columns of first PEs associated with the DWC engine and/or each second PE in one or more of a second set of columns associated with the PWC engine based on the difference between the first throughput and the second throughput. The method further includes processing, for each layer of the DSC network, an input via the DSC accelerator based on selectively activating each first PE and/or each second PE.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for automatic deployment of function block application programs (FBAPs) across process automation nodes of a process automation system. In various implementations, one or more constraints associated with execution of a FBAP may be identified. Based on the one or more constraints, a process automation system that includes a plurality of process automation nodes may be analyzed. Based on the analysis, a subset of two or more process automation nodes on which to distributively deploy the FBAP may be selected from the plurality of processing node. In response to selecting the subset, the FBAP may be distributively deployed across the two or more process automation nodes of the subset.

Abstract: A system, method, and an apparatus relating to automatically setting up pre-upset warning conditions for entire systems based on drifting parameters. The drifting parameters may provide monitoring to operate the process so that the upset condition is never reached, by allowing the operator can take actions so that the process remains in a stable state. The aim is to monitor and limit variations in parameters to enable the operator to achieve a much tighter control on the process and not allow the alarm to occur in the first place. Additionally, the important values may be displayed in context, and the operator may directly manipulate the values through a variety of touch input.

Abstract: A system and method for sending of data to a specified device without needing to preprogram a dedicated key of a human interface device. One embodiment provides for selection of a display where the display does not need to be programmed ahead of time. A user interface (UI) which allows the user to select the display is arranged in a similar configuration as the configuration of the physical display. In some embodiments, a method using another human interface device may be used. One embodiment may include the sending of data to a server, or first device, by means of a companion device, or second device. One embodiment provides for the sending of data to specific output devices for printing or manufacturing.

Abstract: A system and method for a Graphic User Interface used as the human machine interface (HMI) for Industrial Automation (IA) systems. The system and method use a peer-to-peer session framework between a console with one or more physically connected displays within a control room environment and a companion device. One or more embodiments of the disclosure relate to control of a console, or first device, in a control room by means of a companion device, or second device, through a peer to peer session framework. The use of the second device may provide additional capabilities beyond the pre-purposed capability provided by a dedicated Operator keyboard of the console server.
