An approach is provided for providing recommendations based on preloaded models. A recommendation model platform determines to cause, at least in part, preloading of a device with at least one user model, at least one item model, or a combination thereof. Then, the recommendation model platform determines to cause, at least in part, processing of the at least one user model, the at least one item model, or a combination thereof to generate at least one recommendation for: (a) the device, (b) at least one user of the device, or (c) a combination thereof.

An apparatus comprising a chip comprising a plurality of nodes, a first plurality of links connecting the plurality of nodes in a first ring network having a first topology, and a second plurality of links connecting the plurality of nodes in a second ring network having a second topology, wherein the first topology is different than the second topology.

Systems and methods described herein are directed to solutions for Network on Chip (NoC) interconnects that automatically and dynamically determines the number of layers needed in a NoC interconnect system based on the bandwidth requirements of the system traffic flows. The number of layers is dynamically allocated and minimized by performing load balancing of the traffic flows between the channels and routes of different NoC layers as they are mapped. Additional layers may be allocated to provide the additional virtual channels that may be needed for deadlock avoidance and to maintain the isolation properties between various system flows. Layer allocation for additional bandwidth and additional virtual channels (VCs) may be performed in tandem.

A method for address translation in a memory comprising a plurality of memory streaming units (MSUs), wherein n represents the number of MSUs and n is not a power of two, and wherein the memory further comprises a striped region, the method comprising determining an MSU from among the plurality of MSUs having a physical address (PA) in the striped region corresponding to a logical address (LA) comprising performing a modulo n operation on less than all the bits representing the LA; and transmitting the LA to the MSU.
摘要:
An interface for coupling an agent to a fabric supports a set of coherent interconnect protocols and includes a global channel to communicate control signals to support the interface, a request channel to communicate messages associated with requests to other agents on the fabric, a response channel to communicate responses to other agents on the fabric, and a data channel to couple to communicate messages associated with data transfers to other agents on the fabric, where the data transfers include payload data.
摘要:
Systems and methods for automatically building a deadlock free inter-communication network in a multi-core system are described. The example embodiments described herein involve deadlock detection during the mapping of user specified communication pattern amongst blocks of the system. Detected deadlocks are then avoided by re-allocation of channel resources. An example embodiment of the deadlock avoidance scheme is presented on Network-on-chip interconnects for large scale multi-core system-on-chips.

Systems and methods described herein are directed to solutions for NoC interconnects that provide end-to-end uniform- and weighted-fair allocation of resource bandwidths among various contenders. The example implementations are fully distributed and involve tagging the messages with meta-information when the messages are injected in the interconnection network. Example implementations may involve routers using various arbitration phases, and making local arbitration decisions based on the meta-information of incoming messages. The meta-information can be of various types based on the number of router arbitration phases, and the desired level of sophistication.

An apparatus comprising a chip comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein a first node from among the plurality of nodes is configured to receive a first flit comprising a first timestamp, receive a second flit comprising a second timestamp, determine whether the first flit is older than the second flit based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp, transmit the first flit before the second flit if the first flit is older than the second flit, and transmit the second flit before the first flit if the first flit is not older than the second flit.
