    摘要: Techniques of randomized testing of massively open online courses (MOOCs) involve generating independent A/B tests on the plurality of individual sections of a MOOC. Along these lines, a MOOC may have many learning modules, with many students enrolled in the MOOC. A course instructor may wish to experiment with different variations of course content in order to discover whether any such variations may improve the MOOC. Rather than perform a single A/B test during the MOOC to obtain results for which the course instructor would have to wait weeks, the instructor submits variations of various individual learning modules of the MOOC to a A/B testing server. The A/B testing server may then assign students in each lecture to different versions of a learning module. The A/B testing server may also evaluate the results of the testing in order to provide a recommendation about the MOOC as a whole.

    摘要: Systems and methods for a random number generator including a systolic array to receive a plurality of first inputs, and to provide a random number output. In one embodiment, the systolic array can be arranged in two or greater dimensions, and each cell of the array comprises a ring oscillator. Data is read from a random access memory to provide the inputs to the systolic array. A linear feedback shift register receives the random number output as a feedback signal used to address the memory to read data to provide as the inputs to the systolic array.

    摘要: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for a random number generator that includes an entropy source. The entropy source may be coupled to a deterministic feedback circuit and a stochastic feedback circuit. The deterministic feedback circuit may include detection logic to detect when a bit of the output signal of the entropy source has registered, a pre-delay feedback path to cause the entropy source to power off responsive to the detection, and a post-delay feedback path to cause the entropy source to power on, after the entropy source is powered off, to generate a second bit of the output signal. The post-delay feedback path may include one or more delay cells that are bypassed by the pre-delay feedback path. Other circuits and techniques related to random number generators are also described. Further embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
