Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing distributed learning over a plurality of parallel machine network nodes by allocating a per-sender receive queue at every machine network node and performing distributed in-memory training; and training each unit replica and maintaining multiple copies of the unit replica being trained, wherein all unit replicas train, receive unit updates and merge in parallel in a peer-to-peer fashion, wherein each receiving machine network node merges updates at later point in time without interruption and wherein the propagating and synchronizing unit replica updates are lockless and asynchronous.
Abstract:
A system and method for analysis of complex systems which includes determining model parameters based on time series data, further including profiling a plurality of types of data properties to discover complex data properties and dependencies; classifying the data dependencies into predetermined categories for analysis; and generating a plurality of models based on the discovered properties and dependencies. The system and method may analyze, using a processor, the generated models based on a fitness score determined for each model to generate a status report for each model; integrate the status reports for each model to determine an anomaly score for the generated models; and generate an alarm when the anomaly score exceeds a predefined threshold.
Abstract:
A method for reducing optical components at a receiver which include converting an input signal at a receiver to include an interleaving of alternate signal diversity components, the signal diversity components including phase diversity when the converting includes 0 and 90 degree interleaving and the signal diversity components include polarization diversity interleaving when the converting includes interleaved orthogonal polarizations, and combining the signal diversity components for enabling a single photo detection at the receiver to detect the alternative signal diversity components for subsequent analog-to-digital conversion.

Abstract:
A system for evolutionary analytics supports three dimensions (analytical workflows, the users, and the data) by rewriting workflows to be more efficient by using answers materialized as part of previous workflow execution runs in the system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for data transport, comprising encoding one or more streams of input data using nonbinary low density parity check (NB-LDPC) encoders, corresponding to orthogonal polarization states. Receiving one or more streams of input data using a buffer coupled to the encoders, the data written to the buffer bR bits at a time, where R is the code rate. Generating one or more signals using a 2b-ary mapper implemented as a look-up table (LUT) to store coordinates of a corresponding signal constellation, the 2b-ary mapper configured to assign bits of one or more signals to a signal constellation and to associate the bits of the signals with signal constellation points, wherein the constellation is expanded to avoid bandwidth expansion due to coding, generating substantial net coding gains within a same bandwidth. Modulating nonbinary LDPC-coded data streams using in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) modulators and multiplexing the data streams using polarization beam combiner.
Abstract:
A method by an optical network unit ONU includes, for downstream transmission, using a first tunable laser for coherent detection on a sub-band basis to increase receiver sensitivity and reduce analog-to-digital conversion ADC and digital signal processor DSP requirements within the ONU, and for upstream transmission, using a second tunable laser and using an optical signal beating between the first and second tunable lasers to generate a tunable radio frequency RF signal source for upstream multi-band OFDMA signal generation thereby avoiding need for an otherwise more costly RF clock source within the ONU, enabling low-speed digital-to-analog conversion DAC operation and rendering the ONU colorless in both optical and radio frequency RF domains.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed to manage a multi-processor system with one or more manycore devices, by managing real-time bag-of-tasks applications for a cluster, wherein each task runs on a single server node, and uses the offload programming model, and wherein each task has a deadline and three specific resource requirements: total processing time, a certain number of manycore devices and peak memory on each device; when a new task arrives, querying each node scheduler to determine which node can best accept the task and each node scheduler responds with an estimated completion time and a confidence level, wherein the node schedulers use an urgency-based heuristic to schedule each task and its offloads; responding to an accept/reject query phase, wherein the cluster scheduler send the task requirements to each node and queries if the node can accept the task with an estimated completion time and confidence level; and scheduling tasks and offloads using a aging and urgency-based heuristic, wherein the aging guarantees fairness, and the urgency prioritizes tasks and offloads so that maximal deadlines are met.
