    Abstract: Described are methods and circuits for margin testing digital receivers. These methods and circuits prevent margins from collapsing in response to erroneously received data and can thus be used in receivers that employ historical data to reduce intersymbol interference (ISI). Some embodiments detect receive errors for input data streams of unknown patterns and can thus be used for in-system margin testing. Such systems can be adapted to dynamically alter system parameters during device operation to maintain adequate margins despite fluctuations in the system noise environment due to e.g. temperature and supply-voltage changes. Also described are methods of plotting and interpreting filtered and unfiltered error data generated by the disclosed methods and circuits. Some embodiments filter error data to facilitate pattern-specific margin testing.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for parallel optimization of continuously running quantum error correction by closed-loop feedback. In one aspect, a method includes continuously and effectively optimizing qubit performance in-situ whilst an error correction operation on the quantum system is running. The method directly monitors the output from error detection and provides this information as feedback to calibrate the quantum gates associated with the quantum system. In some implementations, the physical qubits are spatially partitioned into one or more independent hardware patterns, where the errors attributable to each hardware pattern are non-overlapping. The one or more different sets of hardware patterns are then temporarily interleaved such that all physical qubits and operations are optimized. The method allows for the optimization of each section of a hardware pattern to be performed individually and in parallel, and can result is O(1) scaling.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for system event searching based on heterogeneous logs are provided. A system can include a processor device operatively coupled to a memory device wherein the processor device is configured to mine a variety of log patterns from various of heterogeneous logs to obtain known-event log patterns and unknown-event log patterns, as well as to build a weighted vector representation of the log patterns. The processor device is also configured to evaluate a similarity between the vector representation of the unknown-event and known-event log patterns, identify a known event that is most similar to an unknown event to troubleshoot system faults based on past actions for similar events to improve an operation of a computer system.

    Abstract: Read operations are performed in a memory device which efficiently provide baseline read data and recovery read data. In one aspect, on-die circuitry, which is on a die with an array of memory cells, obtains recovery read data before it is requested or needed by an off-die controller. In another aspect, data from multiple reads is obtained and made available in a set of output latches for retrieval by the off-die controller. Read data relative to multiple read thresholds is obtained and transferred from latches associated with the sense circuits to the set of output latches. The read data relative to multiple read thresholds can be stored and held concurrently in the set of output latches for retrieval by the off-die controller.

    Abstract: A redundant tracking system comprising multiple redundant tracking sub-systems, enabling seamless transitions between such tracking sub-systems, provides a solution to this problem by merging multiple tracking approaches into a single tracking system. This system is able to combine tracking objects with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) and 3DoF through combining and transitioning between multiple tracking systems based on the availability of tracking indicia tracked by the tracking systems. Thus, as the indicia tracked by any one tracking system becomes unavailable, the redundant tracking system seamlessly switches between tracking in 6DoF and 3DoF thereby providing the user with an uninterrupted experience.
