  • Patent number: 11625605
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to optimize kernel selection for performing a computation. In at least one embodiment, a neural network is trained and utilized to generate a list of kernels so that an (e.g., optimal) kernel may be identified. The neural network receives characteristics of the input matrices and determines relevancy scores for a list of possible kernels. Based on an ordered listing of kernels by relevant score, a kernel is selected from the list and utilized to perform the computation and provide the result.

  • Publication number: 20190042991
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for resource physical positioning planning is provided. The method includes establishing a mapping of different computing resources and corresponding physical locations of a computing environment. Access requests that are issued to the different computing resources by different client computers communicatively coupled to the computing resources over a network disposed within the environment are monitored. Utilization of each of the computing resources by the client computing devices is computed so as to determine for a selected computing resource, one or more of the client computing devices most often requesting access to the selected computing resource. Finally, a positioning rule is applied to the selected computing resource and the one or more of the client computing devices and an optimal position is displayed for the selected computing resource according to the positioning rule.
