Disclosed embodiments relate to software control of graphics hardware that supports logical slots. In some embodiments, a GPU includes circuitry that implements a plurality of logical slots and a set of graphics processor sub-units that each implement multiple distributed hardware slots. Control circuitry may determine mappings between logical slots and distributed hardware slots for different sets of graphics work. Various mapping aspects may be software-controlled. For example, software may specify one or more of the following: priority information for a set of graphics work, to retain the mapping after completion of the work, a distribution rule, a target group of sub-units, a sub-unit mask, a scheduling policy, to reclaim hardware slots from another logical slot, etc. Software may also query status of the work.

In some embodiments, a real-time event is detected and context is determined based on the real-time event. An application model is fetched based on the context and meta-data associated with the real-time event, the application model referencing a micro-function and including pre-condition and post-condition descriptors. A graph is constructed based on the micro-function. The micro-function is transformed into micro-capabilities by determining a computing resource for execution of a micro-capability by matching pre-conditions and post-conditions of the micro-capability, and enabling execution and configuration of the micro-capability on the computing resource by providing access in a target environment to an API capable of calling the micro-capability to configure and execute the micro-capability. A request is received from the target environment to execute and configure the micro-capability on the computing resource. The micro-capability is executed and configured on the computing resource, and an output of the micro-capability is provided to the target environment.

Various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing a distributed computing system machine-learning training service are provided. Initially a machine learning model is accessed. A plurality of synthetic data assets are accessed, where a synthetic data asset is associated with asset-variation parameters that are programmable for machine-learning. The machine learning model is retrained using the plurality of synthetic data assets. The machine-learning training service is further configured for executing real-time calls to generate an on-the-fly-generated synthetic data asset such that the on-the-fly-generated synthetic data asset is rendered in real-time to preclude pre-rendering and storing the on-the-fly-generated synthetic data asset. The machine-learning training service further supports hybrid-based machine learning training, where the machine learning model is trained based on a combination of the plurality of synthetic data assets, a plurality of non-synthetic data assets, and synthetic data asset metadata associated with the plurality of synthetic data assets.

One example method includes receiving, from a microservice, a service request that identifies a service needed by the microservice, and an API of an endpoint that provides the service, evaluating the service request to determine whether the service request conforms to a policy, when the service request has been determined to conform with the policy, evaluating the endpoint to determine if endpoint performance meets established guidelines, and when it is determined that the endpoint performance does not meet the established guidelines, identifying an alternative endpoint that meets the established guidelines and that provides the requested service. Next, the method includes transforming the API of the service identified in the service request to an alternative API of the service provided by the alternative endpoint, and sending the service request and the alternative API to the alternative endpoint.

In a method of group control and management among electronic devices, wherein the electronic devices is in communication with a control device, a projectable space instance is provided for the control device to create a workspace, wherein a control and management tool and a plurality of unified tools for driving respective electronic devices are selectively added to the projectable space instance. The projectable space instance is then parsed with a projector by the control device to automatically generate a projected workspace corresponding to the workspace to be created via the projectable space instance. The control and management tool realizes at least one status information of at least a first one of the electronic devices by way of the unified tools, and controls at least a second one of the electronic devices to execute at least one task corresponding to the at least one status information.

A query operation is performed to obtain information for a select entity of a computing environment. The information includes boost information of one or more boost features currently available for the select entity. The one or more boost features are to be used to temporarily adjust one or more processing attributes of the select entity. The boost information obtained from performing the query operation is provided in an accessible location to be used to perform one or more actions to facilitate processing in the computing environment.

A system of monitoring and optimizing computing resources usage for computing application may include predicting a first performance metric for job load capacity of a computing application for optimal job concurrency and optimal resource utilization. The system may include generating an alerting threshold based on the first performance metric. The system may further include, in response to a difference between the alerting threshold and a job load of the computing application within an interval exceeding a threshold, predicting a second performance metric for job load capacity of the computing application for optimal job concurrency and optimal resource utilization. The system may further include, in response to a difference between the first performance metric and the second performance metric exceeding a difference threshold, updating the alerting threshold with a job load capacity with the optimal resource utilization rate corresponding to the second performance metric.

A robotic process automation system provides a capability to deploy software robots (bots) by receiving from a deployment user a bot deployment request comprising a bot identification that identifies a specific preexisting bot and an authorized class of user to execute the specific preexisting bot. Credentials of the deployment user are checked. An execution device upon which the specific preexisting bot will execute is identified from a set of available devices. An authorization token is issued for the execution device to uniquely identify the execution device and to authorize the execution device to communicate with the robotic process automation system. In response to a request by the execution device the specific preexisting bot and credentials corresponding to the authorized class of user are provided, wherein the specific preexisting bot executes on the execution device automatically without input from any individual corresponding to the authorized class of user.

Techniques discussed herein relate to providing composable edge devices. In some embodiments, a user request specifying a set of services to be executed at a cloud-computing edge device may be received by a computing device operated by a cloud computing provider. A manifest may be generated in accordance with the user request. The manifest may specify a configuration for the cloud-computing edge device. Another request can be received specifying the same or a different set of services to be executed at another edge device. Another manifest which specifies the configuration for that edge device may be generated and subsequently used to provision the request set of services on that device. In this manner, manifests can be used to compose the platform to be utilized at any given edge device.
