Abstract: Systems and methods for making use of non-persistent storage as the journaling storage media for a virtual storage system are provided. According to one embodiment, in order to meet the needs of Extreme Low Latency Workloads while also seeking to provide predictable performance and the lowest possible latency, ephemeral storage of the virtual storage system is used to preserve state information (e.g., in the form of boot arguments and an operation log journal) across a host failure recovery scenario in which the virtual storage system is expected to be redeployed within a compute instance brought up by a cloud environment of a hyperscaler on the same host, thereby providing improved data durability (fewer host failure scenarios that result in lost data) as compared to the use of ephemeral memory of the compute instance and lower write latency than the use of persistent storage provided by the cloud environment.

Abstract: A plant treatment platform uses a plant detection model to detect plants as the plant treatment platform travels through a field. The plant treatment platform receives image data from a camera that captures images of plants (e.g., crops or weeds) growing in the field. The plant treatment platform applies pre-processing functions to the image data to prepare the image data for processing by the plant detection model. For example, the plant treatment platform may reformat the image data, adjust the resolution or aspect ratio, or crop the image data. The plant treatment platform applies the plant detection model to the pre-processed image data to generate bounding boxes for the plants. The plant treatment platform then can apply treatment to the plants based on the output of the machine-learned model.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes defining a micro-operative of a first network. The first network has non-obligatory nodes, and the micro-operative includes rankings assigned to each of the nodes of the first network. Activated core covalences (ACCs) are established for the nodes. Each ACC defines a minimum number of neighboring nodes of the node associated with the ACC that, upon the minimum number of neighboring nodes being disconnected from the first network, cause the ranking of the associated node to decrease. An aggregated activated core covalence (A-ACC) is established, and the A-ACC corresponds to a sum of at least some of the ACCs of the nodes. The method further includes determining, based on the A-ACC, whether to perform a communication operation using a path that includes the nodes in the first network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for flushing an operation log journal to both ephemeral storage and persistent storage during a shutdown sequence of a virtual storage system to minimize data-loss scenarios are provided. According to one embodiment, the shutdown or reboot scenarios that result in loss of data are minimized by using persistent storage as a backup to ephemeral storage when the scenario results in rehosting of virtual storage system. For example, responsive to an event indicative of an imminent shutdown or reboot of the virtual storage system, vNVRAM memory may be flushed to both ephemeral storage and persistent storage (e.g., a boot disk). In this manner, when the virtual storage system is rehosted after an unplanned shutdown or reboot resulting from an unrecoverable host error (other than an unrecoverable hardware failure), the operation log journal may be recovered from persistent storage to facilitate vNVRAM replay and avoid data loss.
