    Abstract: A separate quantization method of forming a combination of 4-bit and 8-bit data of a neural network is disclosed. When a training data set and a validation data set exist, a calibration manner is used to determine a threshold for activations of each of a plurality of layers of a neural network model, so as to determine how many of the activations to perform 8-bit quantization. In a process of weight quantization, the weights of each layer are allocated to 4-bit weights and 8-bit weights according to a predetermined ratio, so as to make the neural network model have a reduced size and a combination of 4-bit and 8-bit weights.

  • Publication number: 20210004374
    Abstract: A graph processing system for concurrent property graph queries of a property graph implemented in a distributed network computes on respective nodes a subgraph shard represented as edge-sets containing vertices within a certain range. Each node stores data for a subgraph shard that contains a range of local vertices that are a subset of all vertices of the property graph. Each subgraph shard also has boundary vertices having edges that connect the subgraph shard to boundary vertices of another subgraph shard. Upon receipt of concurrent queries of the property graph, a query of the subgraph shards is scheduled in accordance with an initial vertex for each concurrent user query. The property graph is traversed by traversing edge-sets within a subgraph shard on each node and during traversal messaging is used to send values of boundary vertices to at least one other node having another subgraph shard sharing the boundary vertices.

  • Patent number: 10879825
    Abstract: The sensorless position measurement system for the permanent magnet machine utilizes the preprocessing circuit to couple with the inverter for obtaining the line-to-line PWM signal supplied to the permanent magnet machine. The preprocessing circuit converts negative PWM pulses of the line-to-line PWM signal into positive PWM pulses for obtaining the converted line-to-line PWM signal. The function of the preprocessing is achieved by the differential circuit and the polarity correction circuit. The converted line-to-line PWM signal is a digital signal and captured by the capture modulator. The preprocessing circuit is substituted for the analog to digital converter. The microcontroller determines the angular position of the permanent magnet machine based on the converted line-to-line PWM signal.
