Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure introduce an offset-based representation for a computation graph of a neural network model. In this representation, the edges in the graph are implemented as offsets to the base address of the graph when the model is loaded into memory rather than pointers to address locations in memory. By replacing the pointer fields with offsets, the model in memory is no longer dependent on the allocation of memory. This overcomes the limitations of performance and/or power that is critical for comparing two models and copying a model to another memory location in latency sensitive applications and in mobile environments.

Abstract: System and methods are maintaining various versions of a graph (e.g., a geometric graph) by a graph management engine. A graph may be partitioned into a number of cells (e.g., utilizing a spatial projection formula). Each cell may be associated with graph data such as nodes and/or edges that are located within the area defined by the boundaries of a cell. The graph management engine may process modifications to the graph. Upon determining that a modification is to be made to a cell, the graph management engine may generate a new cell to contain the previous cell content as modified. The new cell may be assigned a new cell identifier, and a version map corresponding to current cell version identifiers may be maintained. Subsequent data requests for graph data may be processed utilizing the version map to ensure that current graph data is provided in response to the request.

Abstract: A system for providing a graph protocol for forming a decentralized and distributed graph database is disclosed. The system involves receiving, from a device, a bid request to generate a graph on a graph protocol network via the graph protocol.

The system may then arrange the masternodes into a unique artificially-intelligent router of the graph protocol network. The system may then proceed to generate the graph on the graph protocol network by utilizing the masternodes of the router and may process any queries associated with the generated graph.
