  • Patent number: 12046283
    Abstract: Disclosed are a compute-in-memory array and module, and a data computing method; a storage cell is configured to form an array used for computation; the storage cell consists of bitcells serially connected in sequence; a bitcell comprises a switching device and a resistive memory; the switching device is connected in series or in parallel with the resistive memory; the write resistance value of the storage cell is determined by means of controlling the switching state of the switching device so as to change the resistance state of the resistive memory. Since resistive memories have different resistance states, a resistive memory can be set in different resistance states by means of the switching state of the switching device, such that the storage cell is at a required write resistance value, thereby enabling the quick implementation of a write operation of the bitcell.

  • Patent number: 12040939
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to configuring managed computing devices utilizing containerized applications. For instance, a mobile device manager may provide configuration settings to a computing device via, for example, an enterprise network. A host operating system (OS) executing on the computing device determines and applies the settings that are applicable to the host OS. The configuration settings are stored for configuring containerized applications executing on the computing device. For instance, as new containerized applications are launched by the host OS, the containerized applications retrieve the configuration settings and determine and apply the settings that are applicable to the containerized applications. Results of applying the configuration settings to the host OS and the containerized applications are merged and sent to the mobile device manager.

  • Patent number: 11928494
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to configuring managed virtual machines. For instance, a management service (e.g., a mobile device manager) may provide configuration settings to a parent virtual machine. Upon successful application of the configuration settings, the parent virtual machine notifies a configuration service that it is in a steady state and provides the configuration settings to the configuration service. The configuration service notifies a cloud-based service (e.g., a virtual desktop service) that it is configured to instantiate virtual machines. The notification informs the cloud-based service that it is permitted to instantiate child virtual machines. Responsive to receiving the notification, the cloud-based service instantiates child virtual machine(s) as needed.
