摘要:
An electronic image processing apparatus has a controller and a plurality of resources in an arbitrary configuration. Each of the resources includes an associated processor storing data related to operational constraints of the associated resource and a bus interconnects the processors to the controller for directing the operation of the resources. The controller is adapted to operate independent of a particular configuration of the plurality of resources by receiving from each of the processors the data related to the operational constraints of each associated resource and interrogating each of the processors to determine the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources. The controller then responds to the data related to the operational constraints of each of the processors and to the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources to dynamically configure the image processing apparatus to operate in accordance with the the operational constraints of each of the processors and to the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources.

A system is provided to allow for automated scheduling and completion of print jobs in a printing machine. A generic system for describing functionality of various modules forming a print engine is described. Such a module description is provided for each of a plurality of subassemblies which form the printing machine. A component communicates description information about itself to a scheduling unit once it is integrated into a complete printing machine. The scheduling unit, in turn, analyzes all functions available from various subassemblies comprising the machine. This analysis returns data representative of all available functions to the printing machines. Upon receipt of user input on one or more printing jobs, the scheduler then correlates the user information with the available properties of the printing machine to schedule an efficient completing of all printing tasks.

A system dynamically schedules the creation of images in an on-demand printing apparatus outputting simplex and duplex prints. For each simplex print, a simplex print block is appended to a schedule of images to be created, and for each duplex print, a duplex print block is appended to the schedule. The duplex block includes two portions, one portion for each image in the duplex print, separated by a number of pitches which can be occupied by other images. The duplex and simplex blocks are then organized in a manner which preserves the desired final sequence of prints and minimizes the number of unused image pitches in the printing apparatus. The scheduling technique can also be applied to multi-pass color printing.

Executing a map reduce sequence may comprise executing all jobs in the sequence by a collection of a plurality of processes with each process running one or more mappers, combiners, partitioners and reducers for each job, and transparently sharing heap state between the jobs to improve metrics associated with the job. Processes may communicate among themselves to coordinate completion of map, shuffle and reduce phases, and completion of said all jobs in the sequence.

摘要:
Qualitative reasoning for physical systems, and techniques for automatic code generation are used to automatically construct digital controllers/device drivers for electro-mechanical systems. Such construction uses models of the system's components described as finite state machines, to form a configuration space. Transitions of the configuration space are labelled as external or internal and a state of the system is identified as a desired state while other states are identified as undesirable. From this configuration space a controller is generated to drive the system to the desired state while avoiding the undesirable states.

A method for increasing performance of an operation on a distributed memory machine is provided. Asynchronous parallel steps in the operation are transformed into synchronous parallel steps. The synchronous parallel steps of the operation are rearranged to generate an altered operation that schedules memory accesses for increasing locality of reference. The altered operation that schedules memory accesses for increasing locality of reference is mapped onto the distributed memory machine. Then, the altered operation is executed on the distributed memory machine to simulate local memory accesses with virtual threads to check cache performance within each node of the distributed memory machine.

Executing a map reduce sequence may comprise executing all jobs in the sequence by a collection of a plurality of processes with each process running zero or more mappers, combiners, partitioners and reducers for each job, and transparently sharing heap state between the jobs to improve metrics associated with the job. Processes may communicate among themselves to coordinate completion of map, shuffle and reduce phases, and completion of said all jobs in the sequence.
