Abstract:
Technologies related to dynamic reconfiguration of programmable hardware are generally described. In some examples, coprocessor regions in programmable hardware such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) may be dynamically assigned to transition the FPGA from a starting arrangement of coprocessor regions to an efficient arrangement. A placement algorithm may be executed to determine the efficient arrangement, and a path finding algorithm may be executed to determine path finding operations leading from the starting arrangement to the efficient arrangement. The path finding operations may be performed to implement the transition.
Abstract:
Technologies are presented for a multi-step progressive auto-fill function that allows a series of gestures or touches to activate and guide an auto-fill function suitable for information entry. A first gesture may call forth a group of contextual domains for information. A subsequent gesture or motion may cause the selection of a contextual domain, and another action may allow the selection of particular content for placement at a location indicated by the first gesture.
Abstract:
Technologies related to personal assistant context building are generally described. In some examples, network service communications, such as network traffic resulting from the use of mobile applications or “apps” on a mobile device, may be captured, parsed, and included in personal assistant context databases for use in configuring automated personal assistant user interaction operations. In some examples, parsing services may be provided to parse forwarded network service communications and generate converted data for inclusion in personal assistant context databases.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described herein for managing heat within a phase change memory (PCM) structure utilizing electrocaloric effect materials. Some example PCM structures may include an electrocaloric effect material layer thermally coupled to an array of PCM cells. The electrocaloric effect material layer may be segmented so that activation of each segment is coordinated with a subset of the PCM cells within the array. While excess heat emanates from a PCM cell during memory operations, a corresponding electrocaloric effect material segment may be activated to decrease the thermal resistance of the electrocaloric effect material, which transfers the excess heat away from the neighboring PCM cells.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein generally relate to real time inference based systems. Example embodiments may set forth devices, methods, and computer programs related to search engine inference based virtual assistance. One example method may include a computing device adapted to receive text as input and a computer processor arranged to determine at least one inference regarding subject matter of the text based on one or more web searches of one or more terms within the text. The inference(s) may then be automatically displayed upon the inference(s) being determined. The text may be automatically received as input from a voice-to-text converter as voice-to-text conversion producing the text is occurring.
Abstract:
Technologies and implementations for providing an application programming interface (API) testing services for transferring data center services. In some examples, multiple API calls used by a service at an origin data center are converted into respective test segments. An API test module including each of the test segments is formed for a multiple number of target data centers and the API test module is transmitted from the origin data center to the target data centers for execution at the target data centers. One or more test results based at least in part on the transmitted API test module being executed at the target data centers are received, and a report based on the one or more test results that indicates which of the application programming interface calls from the origin data center are compatible with the target data centers is generated.
Abstract:
In one example embodiment, live migration in a datacenter may include JIT compiling a process that is configured to be executed on both a source instruction set architecture and a destination instruction set architecture, mapping variables and address stacks of the process on both the source instruction set architecture and the destination instruction set architecture into a labeled form thereof, and mapping the labeled form of the variables and address stacks onto the destination instruction set architecture.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein generally include methods for the testing and repair of a hardware accelerator image in a programmable logic circuit. In a processor chip that includes multiple programmable logic circuits, a hardware accelerator image programmed into a first programmable logic circuit is tested by programming a testing circuit with a duplicate hardware accelerator image and bringing the testing circuit to the same logic state as the first programmable logic circuit. Comparing outputs from the first programmable logic circuit and the testing circuit indicates the accuracy of the hardware accelerator image programmed into the first programmable logic circuit. The testing circuit may replace the first programmable logic circuit, or the testing circuit may be reprogrammed for testing other hardware accelerator images programmed into other programmable logic circuits of the processor chip.
