The artificial intelligence processor can have multiple arithmetic logic units each configured to have one or more computing engines to perform the computations for the AI system. A set of schedulers are each configured to have a local scheduler memory. A memory manager is configured to execute an instruction set from a compiler. The compiler is configured to divide the multiple arithmetic logic units into multiple clusters. The compiler is configured to assign each cluster a scheduler from the set of schedulers. The scheduler is configured to cooperate with a memory manager so that a fetch of data from an external memory to the local scheduler memory occurs a single time per calculation.

Abstract: A method of evaluating an application performance metric of a Wi-Fi device that is running an application and that is receiving application data from another Wi-Fi device transmitting the application data is disclosed. An indication of a delay in one or more of a plurality of access category queues at the Wi-Fi device transmitting the application data is received. The delay over time is characterized, wherein the characterization of the delay over time includes a statistical measure of the delay determined based on the received indication of the delay in the one or more of the plurality of access category queues. An application quality-of-experience (QoE) metric is determined based on a mapping from the characterization of the delay over time to an application performance.

Abstract: A method for producing a printed product includes coating a preferably paper or cardboard substrate with a precoat or supplying a substrate that has been coated with a precoat, in which the precoat contains at least one acid, applying a water-based ink to image areas on the coated substrate by using at least one ink print head, and drying the printed substrate and/or the ink, preferably using IR radiation and/or heated air. The precoat includes a photobase generator or a photobase generator is applied at least locally to non-image areas on the substrate, the substrate is irradiated at least locally in non-image areas, preferably using UV radiation, to locally generate a base, and the printed substrate is varnished with a water-based varnish.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing printed products contains the steps of applying at least one colored and water-containing ink to image regions on a printing material in a drop-on-demand process. An essentially colorless and water-containing liquid is applied a) to non-image regions and/or b) to image regions that have only little ink in the drop-on-demand process. The printing material is dried. The printing material has a coating that contains at least one acid. After the application of ink and the application of a liquid, a water-containing further liquid, for instance a varnish, is applied both to image regions and to non-image regions of the printing material, and that the liquid and/or the further liquid contains at least one substance that at least partly neutralizes the acid. The undesired formation of waves and glossiness fluctuations between varnished image regions and varnished non-image regions may thus advantageously be avoided.
