  • Patent number: 12294515
    Abstract: One aspect provides a system and method for selecting a path for a data flow in a network. During operation, a first node receiving the data flow can determine flow information that specifies a destination node. The system estimates a Quality of Experience (QoE) value of each node based on the flow information and current operating status of each node. A management service generates a QoE topology of the network based on connectivity among the nodes and the QoE value associated with each node; determines a plurality of potential paths between the first node and the destination node, with each potential path comprising a plurality of intermediate nodes; and selects a path that provides best QoE performance based on the QoE topology. Selecting the path comprises computing a cumulative QoE value of each potential path based on QoE values of the intermediate nodes included in the potential path.

  • Patent number: 11379714
    Abstract: An in-memory computing memory device is disclosed. The memory device comprises an array of memory cells, a plurality of word lines, a plurality of bit lines, (M+1) input circuits, a wordline driver and an evaluation circuitry. The array is divided into (M+1) lanes and each lane comprises P memory cell columns and an input circuit. The input circuit in each lane charges a predefined bit line with a default amount of charge proportional to an input synapse value and then distributes the default amount of charge to the other second bit lines with a predefined ratio based on a constant current. The evaluation circuitry couples a selected number of the bit lines to an accumulate line and convert an average voltage at the accumulate line into a digital value in response to a set of (M+1) input synapse values and the activated word line.
