Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for storing incomplete dialog sessions between a user and an automated assistant in order that the dialog sessions can be completed in furtherance of certain actions. While interacting with an automated assistant, a user can become distracted and not complete the interaction to the point of the automated assistant performing some action. In response, the automated assistant can store the interaction as a dialog session. Subsequently, the user may express interest, directly or indirectly, in completing the dialog session, and the automated assistant can provide the user with a selectable element that, when selected, causes the dialog session to be reopened. The user can then continue the dialog session with the automated assistant in order that the originally intended action can be performed by the automated assistant.

One embodiment provides a parallel processor comprising a memory interface and a processing array coupled with the memory interface. The processing array is configured to address memory accessed via the memory interface via a virtual address mapping and includes circuitry to resolve a page fault for the virtual address mapping, wherein each of the multiple compute blocks is separately preemptable.

A method of processing exceptions in an exception-driven computing-based system that operates in either initialisation mode or exception-driven mode. The method includes, upon detecting an exception has occurred, causing the processor to execute exception handling instructions. When the system is operating in initialisation mode the exception handling instructions invoke a first exception handler that causes a main register set to be saved before processing the exception and restored after processing the exception, and when the system is operating in exception-driven mode the exception handling instructions invoke a second exception handler that does not cause the main register set to be saved and restored. In some examples, the exception handling instructions are initially configured to invoke the first exception handler and are dynamically updated when the system switches from initialisation mode to exception-driven mode to invoke the second exception handler.

An information processing apparatus includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor is operable to perform first processing and second processing in one of a plurality of operating states. The operating states includes a normal state and a power-saving state. The power-saving state is a state in which the first processor consumes less power than the normal state. The second processor is operable to perform the second processing while consuming less power than the first processor does. The second processor detects the first processing that the second processor is not able to perform. The second processor also causes the first processor to transition from the sleep state to the power-saving state to perform the first processing when the first processor is in a sleep state in which a power supply is stopped.

A method for processing an application in a portable terminal is provided. The method includes displaying a main application and at least one corresponding sub-application item, calling a corresponding sub-application when selecting the sub-application item, displaying the sub-application so as to overlay on a partial area of a main application screen, and processing information selected from the main application in the sub-application.

Enabling restoration of qubits following quantum process termination is disclosed. In one example, a quantum restore service, executing on a processor device of a quantum computing device, detects an exit request corresponding to a quantum process associated with one or more qubits. The quantum restore service obtains metadata, including an identification of the quantum process (such as a quantum process identifier (ID), a quantum process name, and/or a Quantum Assembly Language (QASM) file descriptor) and an identification of each qubit. The quantum restore service then maintains the qubits in association with the identification of the quantum process based on the metadata after termination of the quantum process. In some examples, the quantum restore service may allocate a logical partition, associate the logical partition with the quantum process, and then associate the qubits with the logical partition. In this manner, the qubits may be preserved after the quantum process has terminated.

Embodiments for performing cooperative user mode scheduling between user mode schedulable (UMS) threads and primary threads are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, privileged hardware states are transferred from a kernel portion of a UMS thread to a kernel portion of a primary thread.

A system and process for managing thread execution includes providing two data register sets coupled to a processor and using, by the processor, the two register sets as first-level registers for thread execution. A portion of main memory or cache memory is assigned as second-level registers where the second-level registers serve as registers of at least one of the two data register sets for executing the threads. Data for the threads may be moved between the first-level registers and second-level registers for different modes of thread processing.

A task switching assisting method includes storing, by an information processing apparatus, task information regarding a task executed by a user. An element related to execution of the task is stored in correlation with the task information, an operation related to the task is determined, a work status with respect to the correlated element related to the execution of the task is determined based on the determined operation related to the task, the task is switched by saving or restoring the work status, based on the task information and the work status with respect to the correlated element related to the execution of the task, task execution resource information for executing the task and task saving resource information at a time of saving the task are analyzed on a task basis, and the task information is generated based on a result of the analysis, by the information processing apparatus.

User interface state (UI) information (such as UI control values) are stored and revived when the user navigates and returns to an application. When an instance of a page is created, the page registers with a tombstone list and indicates which page state information on the page is to be stored and revived when a user navigates away from the application. When the user provides an input indicating navigation away from the application, the application accesses the tombstone list and stores the UI page state information. UI page state information is stored in a page state dictionary data structure that corresponds to the current instance of the page. Then, when the user navigates back to the application, the application accesses the page state dictionary and restores the values of the UI page state information so that the user interface display is in the same state as when the user navigated away from the application.
