  • Patent number: 10747228
    Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes a number of sensors and a number of autonomous driving modules. The autonomous driving system further includes a global store to store data generated and used by processing modules such as sensors and/or autonomous driving modules. The autonomous driving system further includes a task scheduler coupled to the sensors, the autonomous driving modules, and the global store. In response to output data generated by any one or more of processing modules, the task scheduler stores the output data in the global store. In response to a request from any of the processing modules for processing data, the task scheduler provides input data stored in the global store to the processing module. The task scheduler is executed in a single thread that is responsible for managing data stored in the global store and dispatching tasks to be performed by the processing modules.

  • Patent number: 10732634
    Abstract: An event queue is maintained to store IO events generated from a number of sensors and timer events generated for a number of autonomous driving modules. For each of the events pending in the event queue, in response to determining that the event is an IO event, the data associated with the IO event is stored in a data structure associated with the sensor in a global store. In response to determining that the event is a timer event, a worker thread associated with the timer event is launched. The worker thread executes one of the autonomous driving modules triggered or initiated the timer event. Input data is retrieved from the global store and provided to the worker thread to allow the worker thread to process the input data.

  • Patent number: 10719803
    Abstract: A historical scenario and historical decisions made in the historical scenario are received. The historical decisions represent a set of decision variables of an objective function. A random set of decision variables having different values than the set of decision variables are generated. To determine a weight setting associated with multiple objectives of the objective function, a number of inequalities are built and solved with an assumption that, for an optimization that minimizes the objective function, the objective function having the set of random decision variables has a larger value than the objective function having the set of decision variables. The receiving, the generating and the building steps may be repeated to determine multiple sets of weight settings. The multiple sets of weight settings are searched to select a target weight setting for each of the multiple objectives. The target weight setting may be automatically and continuously learned.

  • Patent number: 10699230
    Abstract: A method for enhancing on-premise order management systems (OMS) designed for fulfillment transactions with analytic and optimization technologies and services hosted in a shared multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) environment, such as a hybrid cloud. The computer-implemented method improves an order management system by leveraging a “punch-out” approach based on user exits to integrate with and augment currently implemented order management processing and transaction flows. Using the hybrid cloud, an entity may retain data such as its accumulated business, sales, test and other data, and then run analytical queries, which can scale to support distributed computing tasks. A framework adaptor/connector is leveraged by the OMS to provide a web client for communicating with and integrating to the SaaS analytics runtime environment, encapsulating all necessary connection pooling, security, and data marshaling complexity away from the order management system to meet strict service response time windows.

  • Patent number: 10685319
    Abstract: A simulator is configured to simulate the fulfillment of orders by nodes. Each node has an inventory of products and is capable of shipping the products to destinations in response to receipt of a corresponding order. The simulator divides the nodes into groups and assigns a different priority to each group based on input provided by a user to the simulator to generate an ordered sequence of priorities. The simulator maintains safety stock data corresponding to each node that indicates minimum quantities of the products required to be present at the corresponding node. The simulator selects a current priority of the sequence and next simulates a first group among the groups having the current priority fulfilling the orders for a given product among the products while a quantity of the given product at each of the nodes in the first group is below the minimum quantity in the corresponding safety stock data.
