  • Publication number: 20220342736
    Abstract: A data processing circuit and a fault-mitigating method are provided. In the method, multiple sub-sequences are divided from sequence data. A first sub-sequence of the sub-sequences is accessed from a memory for a multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation to obtain a first computed result. The MAC operation is performed on a second sub-sequence of the sub-sequences in the memory to obtain a second computed result. The first and the second computed results are combined, where the combined result of the first and the second computed results is related to the result of the MAC operation on the sequence data directly. Accordingly, the error rate could be reduced, so as to mitigate fault.

  • Patent number: 11461204
    Abstract: A data processing circuit and a fault-mitigating method, which are adapted for a memory having a faulty bit, are provided. The memory is configured to store data related to an image, a weight for a multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation of image feature extraction, and/or a value for an activation operation. Sequence data is written into the memory. The bit number of the sequence data equals to the bit number used for storing data in a sequence block of the memory. The sequence data is accessed from the memory, wherein the access of the faulty bit in the memory is ignored. The value of the faulty bit is replaced by the value of a non-faulty bit in the memory to form new sequence data. The new sequence data is used for MAC. Accordingly, the accuracy of image recognition can be improved for the faulty memory.

  • Publication number: 20220252731
    Abstract: A source emits a pulse to an object to generate a particle, and an imaging detector produces a light flash at an X/Y hit position of the particle. The detector outputs a waveform arising from the particle. An event-driven camera provides a signal from the detector that includes intensity and time-over-threshold signals related to the light flash, time-of-arrival information of the event, and the X and Y hit position of the particle. A photodiode determines a time origin of the pulse from the source. A timing circuit is coupled to the detector and to the photodiode, and determines time-of-flight (TOF) of the particle based on the waveform, and based on the time origin of the pulse. The 3D coordinates are generated based on the X/Y hit position synchronized with the TOF of the particle.

  • Patent number: 11409568
    Abstract: In an approach for pod scheduling and recursion, a processor schedules a master pod and one or more worker pods for applications to be deployed on a cluster. A processor builds a topology between the master pod and the one or more worker pods. A processor monitors a workload in the one or more worker pods. A processor determines whether any of the one or more worker pods needs to scale out. In response to determining that one of the one or more worker pods needs to scale out, a processor schedules a next layer of the one or more worker pods according to the workload.
