  • Patent number: 11494129
    Abstract: Techniques for accessing a storage system involve: based on a detection that a first host configured to use a first protocol to access a storage system is connected to the storage system, determining a source logical storage space from a second group of logical storage spaces associated with a second protocol. The second protocol is different from the first protocol. The techniques further involve: determining, from a first group of logical storage spaces associated with the first protocol, a target logical storage space to which the source logical storage space is mapped. The techniques further involve: allocating the target logical storage space to the first host, so that the first host accesses the storage system via the target logical storage space. Accordingly, suitable protocols can be flexibly used to access the storage system without cumbersome and time-consuming operations.

  • Patent number: 11494533
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to testing software for operating an autonomous vehicle. In one instance, a simulation may be run using log data collected by a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode. The simulation may be run using the software to control a simulated vehicle and by modifying a characteristic of an agent identified in the log data. During the running of the simulation, that a first type of interaction between the first simulated vehicle and the modified agent will occur may be determined. In response to determining that the particular type of interaction will occur, the modified agent may be replaced by a interactive agent that simulates a road user corresponding to the modified agent that is capable of responding to actions performed by simulated vehicles. That the particular type of interaction between the simulated vehicle and the interactive agent has occurred in the simulation may be determined.

  • Patent number: 11494627
    Abstract: A dynamic-tile neural network accelerator allows for the number and size of computational tiles to be re-configured. Each sub-array of computational cells has edge cells on the left-most column that have an added vector mux that feeds the cell output back to an adder-comparator to allow Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) and pooling operations that combine outputs shifted in from other cells. The edge cells drive external output registers and receive external weights. The weights and outputs are shifted in opposite directions horizontally between cells while control and input data are shifted in a same direction vertically between cells. A column of row data selectors is inserted between sub-arrays to bypass weights and output data around sub-arrays, while a row of column data selectors are inserted between sub-arrays to bypass control and input data. Larger tiles are configured by passing data directly through these selectors without bypassing.

  • Patent number: 11494616
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a multi-label classification system. The multi-label classification system can use a multi-label classification neural network system to identify one or more labels for an image. The multi-label classification system can explicitly take into account the relationship between classes in identifying labels. A relevance sub-network of the multi-label classification neural network system can capture relevance information between the classes. Such a relevance sub-network can decouple independence between classes to focus learning on relevance between the classes.
