  • Publication number: 20260072741
    Abstract: An embodiment analyzes an inference request to determine a set of parameters of execution and analyzes a computing environment of a Large Language Model (LLM) to extract a set of parameters of environment. A MIG in the set of MIGs in the environment includes a set of slices of a corresponding GPU (set of MIG slices). A profile is selected from a profiles database using some of the parameters of execution and some of the parameters of environment. By sending a set of instructions to a controller associated with the MIG, the controller is caused to modify an amount of a computing resource available to a MIG slice in the set of MIG slices, the amount being computed according to a performance specification corresponding to the profile. The inference request is scheduled to execute using the modified amount of computing resource at the MIG slice.

  • Publication number: 20160025697
    Abstract: Methods are provided for evaluating the insect resistance of a plant of interest. Specifically, methods are provided for high-throughput screening of soybean plants for resistance to kudzu bugs and stink bugs, including the brown marmorated stink bug and the southern green stink bug. In some embodiments, infesting emergent soybean seedlings with second instar stink bug nymphs and maintaining the nymphs in a closed environment with the seedling for only about 7 days allows evaluation of the stink bug resistance of a soybean variety of interest. Also provided are insect resistant plants, particularly plants resistant to kudzu bugs and stink bugs, as well as seeds produced by the resistant plants. Plants disclosed herein can be used to transfer the resistant trait into plant lines of interest.

  • Patent number: 8453497
    Abstract: A fixture for holding a cutter for a vertical turret lathe may comprise a block with a blind hole. A cutter with an indenter on its distal end may be secured within the hole such that a portion of the indenter comprises a positive rake angle. A method for testing cutters may comprise securing a cutter on a fixture of a vertical turret lathe which has a cutting material positioned adjacent the cutter. The cutting material may be rotated around a rotational axis at a constant rotational velocity. The fixture may be urged laterally such that the cutter progressively moves towards a periphery of the cutting material. The rotational velocity may be decreased as the cutter moves laterally to maintain a relative constant linear velocity between the cutting material and the cutter.
