A system includes a memory, an interface engine, and a master. The memory is configured to store data. The inference engine is configured to receive the data and to perform one or more computation tasks of a machine learning (ML) operation associated with the data. The master is configured to interleave an address associated with memory access transaction for accessing the memory. The master is further configured to provide a content associated with the accessing to the inference engine.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for maintaining situational stability at a target location. The systems may include a database of machine-learning (ML)-derived event profiles. The systems may include a plurality of edge-nodes that are proximal to the target location. Each edge-node may generate a data stream of situational data pertaining to the target location. Each edge-node may transmit its data stream to the other edge-nodes. Each edge-node may conglomerate its own data stream with the data streams received from the other edge-nodes to create a conglomerated data stream. Each edge-node may monitor its conglomerated data stream for data that matches one of the event profiles. When a consensus is determined among the edge-nodes that a match occurred, the systems may execute a pre-determined response.
