20170199665 | NEURAL NETWORK FOR KEYBOARD INPUT DECODING - In some examples, a computing device includes at least one processor; and at least one module, operable by the at least one processor to: output, for display at an output device, a graphical keyboard; receive an indication of a gesture detected at a location of a presence-sensitive input device, wherein the location of the presence-sensitive input device corresponds to a location of the output device that outputs the graphical keyboard; determine, based on at least one spatial feature of the gesture that is processed by the computing device using a neural network, at least one character string, wherein the at least one spatial feature indicates at least one physical property of the gesture; and output, for display at the output device, based at least in part on the processing of the at least one spatial feature of the gesture using the neural network, the at least one character string. | 2017-07-13 |
20170199666 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR CONCURRENTLY ACCESSING MULTIPLE PARTITIONS OF A NON-VOLATILE MEMORY - Apparatuses and methods for performing multithread, concurrent access of different partition of a memory are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a non-volatile memory array comprising a plurality of partitions. Each of the plurality of partitions may include a respective plurality of memory cells. The apparatus may further include a plurality of local controllers that are each configured to independently and concurrently access a respective one of the plurality of partitions to execute a respective memory access command of a plurality of memory access commands responsive to receiving the respective memory access command. The example apparatus may further include a controller configured to receive the plurality of memory access commands and to determine a respective target partition of the plurality of partitions for each of the plurality of memory access commands. The controller may be further configured to provide each of the plurality of memory access commands to a local controller of the plurality of local controllers associated with the respective target partition. | 2017-07-13 |
20170199667 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCALABLE PROCESSING OF ABORT COMMANDS IN A HOST BUS ADAPTER SYSTEM - An HBA or proxy HBA device is configured to use separate Abort Buffer and I/O Buffer in each channel thereby allowing parallel queuing of regular I/O commands and Abort commands. Processing of Abort commands is prioritized such that Abort commands can be processed before all I/O commands received before the abort command are processed. The use of parallel queuing of regular I/O commands and Abort commands is of particular advantage in systems where multiple channels may receive abort commands simultaneously in the situation where the multiple channels share a common communication resource. In a particular embodiment the abort processing logic is implemented in a fiber channel adapter card which includes a proxy host bus adapter device which connects multiple HBAs via fiber channel to a storage area network. | 2017-07-13 |
20170199668 | DATA PATH CONTROL FOR NON-VOLATILE MEMORY - Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for controlling a data path for non-volatile memory. An apparatus includes one or more memory die. A memory die includes a memory core. A memory core includes an array of non-volatile memory cells and an internal data pipeline. A memory die includes a buffer that stores data associated with storage operations for a memory core. A memory die includes an internal controller that communicates with a memory core to initiate storage operations. An internal controller may delay initiating a storage operation in response to determining that an internal data pipeline and a buffer are both full. | 2017-07-13 |
