Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for persisting user settings for non-persistent application streaming environments are disclosed. An application streaming service may receive a selection of an application for a user and assign a compute instance to the user. An agent provided by the compute instance obtains a storage location of a user settings file associated with the user (e.g., based on use of the application during a previous session). The agent downloads the user settings file from the storage location to the compute instance and mounts the user settings file at a file system location associated with an execution environment of the compute instance. The application is executed and the user settings file is updated during use of the application. In response to termination of the session, the agent uploads the updated user settings file to a storage location. The user settings file is not persisted on the compute instance.

A reconfigurable compute fabric can include multiple nodes, and each node can include multiple tiles with respective processing and storage elements. The tiles can be arranged in an array or grid and can be communicatively coupled. In an example, a first node can include a tile cluster of N memory-compute tiles, and the N memory-compute tiles can be coupled using a first portion of a synchronous compute fabric. Operations performed by the respective processing and storage elements of the N memory-compute tiles can be selectively enabled or disabled based on information in a mask field of data propagated through the first portion of the synchronous compute fabric.

Reconfigurable multi-thread processor for simultaneous operations on split instructions and operands
A superscalar processor has a thread mode of operation for supporting multiple instruction execution threads which are full data path wide instructions, and a micro-thread mode of operation where each thread supports two micro-threads which independently execute instructions. An executed instruction sets a micro-thread mode and an executed instruction sets the thread mode.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to dynamic precision bit string accumulation are described. Dynamic bit string accumulation can be performed using an edge computing device. In an example method, dynamic precision bit string accumulation can include performing an iteration of a recursive operation using a first bit string and a second bit string and determining that a result of the iteration of the recursive operation contains a quantity of bits in a particular bit sub-set of the result that is greater than a threshold quantity of bits associated with the particular bit sub-set. The method can further include writing a result of the iteration of the recursive operation to a first register and writing at least a portion of the bits associated with the particular bit sub-set of the result to a second register.

A code converter uses machine learning to determine conflicts and redundancies in software code. Generally, the code converter uses machine learning to convert software code into vectors that represent the code. These vectors may then be compared with other vectors to determine similarities between code. The similarities may be used to detect conflicts and/or redundancies created during the development process (e.g., when a developer attempts to change the code).

Systems and methods for providing metric data for patterns in a modeling environment are disclosed. In some aspects, contexts for generating metric data for a pattern are constructed. The pattern represents one or more computations executable in the modeling environment and associated with operation or behavior of a real-world system. The contexts include information about the pattern. The metric data is associated with one or more objectives with which the use of the pattern is associated. Code for the pattern for each context is generated. Metric data is generated for the pattern and under each context. The metric data of the pattern under each context is associated with the objectives. The metric data and the association are stored for use in providing information about or based on the metric data when the pattern is to be or is used in a model representing the real-world system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image forming control method, a consumable chip, an image forming apparatus, and a consumable. For the image forming control method, based on the environmental data, the encryption and decryption processing and transmission are performed on the preset compensation value of the image forming control parameter using the environmental data respectively detected by the consumable chip and the image forming apparatus. The preset compensation value is prevented from being intercepted and tampered during transmission, which makes data transmission more secure, thereby ensuring the printing and image forming quality.
