  • Patent number: 12625788
    Abstract: A method for testing artificial intelligence units (AIUs) located across separate processing chips is disclosed. The method provides the right test environment and test cases that stress remote AIU usages. The test cases include multiple machine instruction streams built to be executed on AIUs located on different processing chips. These test instruction streams include AIU primitives that may be executed on local or remote AIUs. The insertion of AIU primitives in each instruction stream is based on a random selection. This randomness allows concentration of AIU primitives in instruction streams built for processor cores of one processing chip while instruction streams running on another processing chip may lack AIU primitives, and as a result, the AIU on that processing chip may become idle. The test cases also cause different AIUs on different processing chips to compete for resources such as input and output data buffers.

  • Publication number: 20230375593
    Abstract: A method for inertial sensor error modeling and compensation comprises obtaining multiple bias drift datasets for an elapsed time period for one or more gyroscopes; generating a 3D bias drift data plot using the multiple bias drift datasets; generating a partial bias drift data image based on the 3D bias drift data plot; and inputting the partial bias drift data image into a machine learning algorithm to predict how bias drift evolves over time for the gyroscopes. The machine learning algorithm uses the partial bias drift data image, the elapsed time period, and temperature history to compute a predicted bias over temperature with respect to time, to thereby predict bias drift data for a future time period for the gyroscopes. The machine learning algorithm outputs a completed bias drift image that represents drift data from the elapsed time period and the predicted bias drift data for the future time period.
