Abstract: A computer-implemented process is disclosed. An application is loaded into a local address space. A request by the application to load a target shared library is intercepted by an interceptor. Using the interceptor and based upon the request being intercepted, a shared library correlation table is searched for a loading count and a loading policy associated with the target shared library. Based upon the loading count and the loading policy, a selection is made between loading the target shared library as a shared library container, and loading the target shared library into the local address space. The target shared library is loaded based upon the selecting. The loading count represents a number of times the target shared library was loaded, and the loading policy indicates how the target shared library is to be loaded.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vector-quantized image modeling using vision transformers and improved codebook handling. In particular, the present disclosure provides a Vector-quantized Image Modeling (VIM) approach that involves pretraining a machine learning model (e.g., Transformer model) to predict rasterized image tokens autoregressively. The discrete image tokens can be encoded from a learned Vision-Transformer-based VQGAN (example implementations of which can be referred to as ViT-VQGAN). The present disclosure proposes multiple improvements over vanilla VQGAN from architecture to codebook learning, yielding better efficiency and reconstruction fidelity. The improved ViT-VQGAN further improves vector-quantized image modeling tasks, including unconditional image generation, conditioned image generation (e.g., class-conditioned image generation), and unsupervised representation learning.

Abstract: A method includes, in response to receiving an incoming service request and establishing a call chain of pods of a service mesh network, setting a retry locker parameter to a locked state for each pod in the call chain. A locked retry locker parameter prevents the pod from initiating retries of a service request. The method includes, in response to determining that a pod in the call chain is unavailable, setting the retry locker parameter to an unlocked state for a previous pod just prior to the pod that is unavailable. The unlocked state allows a retry to the pod that is unavailable. In response to the previous pod reaching a retry limit, the method includes setting the retry locker parameter to unlocked for each pod in the call chain and sending a service termination message to a service requester.
