摘要: The technology relates to partially redundant equipment architectures for vehicles able to operate in an autonomous driving mode. Aspects of the technology employ fallback configurations, such as two or more fallback sensor configurations that provide some minimum amount of field of view (FOV) around the vehicle. For instance, different sensor arrangements are logically associated with different operating domains of the vehicle. Fallback configurations for computing resources and/or power resources are also provided. Each fallback configuration may have different reasons for being triggered, and may result in different types of fallback modes of operation. Triggering conditions may relate, e.g., to a type of failure, fault or other reduction in component capability, the current driving mode, environmental conditions in the vicinity of vehicle or along a planned route, or other factors. Fallback modes may involve altering a previously planned trajectory, altering vehicle speed, and/or altering a destination of the vehicle.

摘要: One example system for preventing data loss during memory blackout events comprises a memory device, a sensor, and a controller operably coupled to the memory device and the sensor. The controller is configured to perform one or more operations that coordinate at least one memory blackout event of the memory device and at least one data transmission of the sensor.

摘要: The technology provides for a system and method to secure a processing device in a socket in high shock and vibration environments, such as inside a vehicle. The processing device may be fitted in the socket, which may be soldered on a circuit board. A mounting plate may be attached to the circuit board. The processing device may be arranged between the circuit board and the mounting plate such that the processing device may be secured to the socket by a compression force applied by the mounting plate. The mounting plate may further provide cooling for the processing device.

摘要: A system and method for low latency and higher bandwidth communication between a central processing unit (CPU) and an accelerator is disclosed. When the CPU updates a copy of data stored at a shared memory, the CPU also sends an “invalidate” command to a cache coherent interconnect (CCI). The CCI forwards the invalidate command to a dedicated cache register (DCR). The DCR marks its copy of the data as “out-of-date” and requests an up-to-date copy of the data from the CCI. The CCI then retrieves up-to-date data for the DCR. When the DCR receives the up-to-date data from the CCI, the DCR replaces the out-of-date data with the up-to-date data, and marks the up-to-date data with the status of “valid.” The DCR can then provide data to an accelerator with a status of “out-of-date” or “valid.”
