System for Executing an Application on Heterogeneous Reconfigurable Processors

A system for executing an application on a pool of reconfigurable processors with first and second reconfigurable processors having first and second architectures that are different from each other is presented. The system comprises an archive of configuration files with first and second configuration files for executing the application on the first and second reconfigurable processors, respectively, and a host system that is operatively coupled to the first and second reconfigurable processors. The host system comprises a runtime processor that allocates reconfigurable processors for executing the application and an auto-discovery module that is configured to perform discovery of whether the reconfigurable processors include at least one of the first reconfigurable processors and whether the reconfigurable processors include at least one of the second reconfigurable processors. The runtime processor starts execution of the first and second configuration files in dependence upon the discovery of the auto-discovery module.

DEPENDENCY-BASED QUEUING OF WORK REQUESTS IN DATAFLOW APPLICATIONS
20230205499 · 2023-06-29 · ·

A computer implemented method comprises a server processing work requests of a work requester. The work requester can communicate to the server a processing dependency of one work request on a second work request. The server can associate the dependency with the work requests and/or a queue of work requests. The dependency include a condition to be met in association with processing the work requests, and the condition can include an action for the server to take in association with processing a work request. A computing system can comprise a work requester, a server, and a set of dependency-aware queues for processing a set of work requests. A queue and/or work requests on the queues can be associated with a processing dependency and the server can process work requests enqueued to the queues in an order based on the dependencies. A work requester/server interface can comprise a dependency framework.

VOICE COMMAND INTEGRATION FOR LOCAL NETWORK CONNECTED DEVICES
20230045888 · 2023-02-16 ·

Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. A primary television receiver executing a first operating system can receive audio data including human voice from a voice enabled remote control. The primary television receiver can transmit the audio data to a secondary television receiver executing a second operating system and that includes a voice command component. The secondary television receiver can convert the audio data into voice command data and transmit the voice command data to the primary television receiver. The primary television receiver can transmit the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet and receive, in response, a command generated based on the voice command data. The primary television receiver can transmit the command to the secondary television receiver. The voice command component can then control an operation of the secondary television receiver based on the command.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A VIDEO SIGNAL
20230050390 · 2023-02-16 ·

Disclosed herein is a receiver that generates a video signal. A first video is assigned to a first display layer of a plurality of display layers. A first trigger signal causes a first application to assign a first user interface to a second display layer, which is positioned over the first display layer. A second trigger signal causes a second application to assign a second user interface to a third display layer, which is positioned over the second display layer. The second trigger signal causes a reduction in a size of the first video, and a first portion of the third display layer and a second portion of the second display layer to be made transparent. The reduced size of the first video is positioned beneath the first portion. A combination of the first display layer, the second display layer, and the third display layer generates the video signal.
