  • Patent number: 11443243
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method performed by a data processing (DP) accelerator, includes receiving, at the DP accelerator, first data representing a set of training data from a host processor; receiving, at the DP accelerator, a watermark kernel from the host processor; and executing the watermark kernel within the DP accelerator on an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The watermark kernel, when executed, is configured to: generate a watermark, train the AI model using the set of training data, and implant the watermark within the AI model during training of the AI model. The DP accelerator then transmits second data representing the trained AI model having the watermark implanted therein to the host processor. In an embodiment, the method further includes receiving a pre-trained AI model and the training is performed for the pre-trained AI model.

  • Publication number: 20220284150
    Abstract: This patent studies a scale-span modeling method to simulate the structural mechanical responses and dynamic progressive failure behaviors of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) in drilling. Firstly, considering the different mechanical behaviors of fiber and matrix in micro state, a three-dimensional multi-scale dynamic progressive damage evolution model based on micro failure theory is proposed. Based on the degradation elastic parameters of microcomponent in typical volume element model, a new damage evolution model of fiber and resin matrix and an auxiliary deletion criterion of failure element are proposed. Secondly, the relationship between the macro stress and the micro stress of representative volume element in the composite model is established by using the stress amplification factor. Combined with the bilinear cohesion element model, the damage behavior of the composite in and between layers under the cutting action of dagger drill is simulated.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of a data processing (DP) accelerator obtaining a watermark of an artificial intelligence (AI) model includes receiving, from a host device, the AI model to execute on the DP accelerator, and receiving input data that triggers output from the AI model on the DP accelerator. The DP accelerator calculates AI model output, in response to the received input and provides the output to the host device. The output can be a watermark extracted from the AI model. DP accelerator can call a security unit of the DP accelerator to digitally sign the output. In an embodiment, the security unit digitally signs the output from the AI model using a key that is retrieved from, or is derived from, a key stored in a secure storage on the security unit.
