  • Publication number: 20250184619
    Abstract: A method for reducing optical interference in an optical sensor including detecting, by an optical sensor device comprising a plurality of pixel sensors, a signal with a reflected light component and a stray light component, estimating, by a processor, a stray light intensity in each pixel of the plurality of pixel sensors using a point spread function obtained by emitting a reference light signal and measuring intensities detected by the plurality of pixel sensors, identifying, by the processor, at least one pixel associated with a relatively high intensity from the plurality of pixel sensors of the optical sensor device, wherein the identified pixel is considered to be associated with a retroreflector or a bloom causing object, adjusting, by the processor, a noise probability for the signal using the estimated stray light intensity and an unbiased noise intensity, and adjusting, by the processor, a signal confidence score using the adjusted noise probability.

  • Publication number: 20250004828
    Abstract: A processor employs a hardware signal monitor to manage signaling for accelerators. The hardware signal monitor monitors designated memory addresses assigned to accelerator signals. In response to a memory write to one of the designated memory addresses, the hardware signal monitor executes a set of one or more operations (referred to as a callback). The hardware signal monitor thereby enables improved and enhanced signaling features, such as asynchronous signaling between agents, inter-accelerator signaling, and inter-process signaling.

  • Publication number: 20250004949
    Abstract: In accordance with the described techniques for extended attributes for shared page tables, a device includes an accelerator device and a memory management unit that maintains a first set of page tables and a second set of page tables. The second set of page tables includes extended attributes for accessing data that the accelerator device operates on. The memory management unit is configured to receive a virtual memory address, and translate the virtual memory address to a physical memory address using the first set of page tables. In addition, the memory management unit retrieves the extended attributes from the second set of page tables. In this way, data is accessed from the physical memory address based on the extended attributes.
