20250156321. VARIOUS EMBODIMENTS INCLUDE TECHNIQUES F_simplified_abstract_(nvidia corporation)

Abstract: various embodiments include techniques for managing cache memory in a computing system. the disclosed techniques include a cache policy manager that monitors activity of various components that access a common cache memory. the cache policy manager establishes cache rules that determine what data remains stored in cache memory and what data is removed from cache memory in order to make room for new data. as the activities of these components change over time, cache rules that work well for a previous activity profile may no longer work well for the current activity profile. therefore, the cache policy manager dynamically modifies the cache rules as the activity profile changes in order to select cache rules at any given time that work well with the current activity profile. these techniques are advantageous over conventional approaches that employ static cache rules that work well only for specific activity profiles.

Abstract: in various embodiments, a memory key service is used to remotely access one or more portions of a physical memory included in a host node. the memory key service generates a first memory key that maps a host address space from a first protection domain associated with the host node to a second protection domain associated with a proxy node. the memory key service generates a second memory key based on the first memory key and a first address range associated with the host node. the memory key service transmits the second memory key to a software component executing on the proxy node. the software component causes a shared storage system to access a first portion of the physical memory based on the second memory key.

20250156644. IN VARIOUS EXAMPLES, SYNTHETIC QUESTION-_simplified_abstract_(nvidia corporation)

Abstract: in various examples, synthetic question-answer (qa) pairs may be generated using question and answer generation models comprising corresponding language models (e.g., autoregressive llms). a repository of textual data representing a particular knowledge base may be used to source synthetic qa pairs by partitioning textual data from the repository into units of text (e.g., paragraphs) that represent context. for each unit of text, the question generation model may be prompted to generate a synthetic question from that unit of text, and the answer generation model may be prompted to generate a synthetic answer to the synthetic question. textual entailment and/or human evaluations may be used to filter out low quality, incorrect, and/or non-productive qa pairs that may be a result of hallucinations. as such, the synthetic qa pairs may be used as, and/or may be used to generate, training data for one or more machine learning models.

20250157126. APPROACHES PRESENTED HEREIN PROVIDE FOR _simplified_abstract_(nvidia corporation)

Abstract: approaches presented herein provide for the generation of image content including fine objects, such as those that may be less than one pixel in width. fine objects such as hairs can be represented by curve equations, and curves defined by these equations can be given an inflated width in order to perform conservative hit testing to efficiently identify pixels that a hair might intersect. once candidate pixels are identified through ray tracing or sampling, for example, false positives or pixels with little hair representation can be removed from consideration. for remaining pixels, a linear representation of the inflated curve can be used to determine intersection points and vertices of a pixel quad corresponding to a hair, which can be used to generate a convex geometric shape representative of the object. the percentage of the pixel area occupied by this geometric shape can be used to determine an alpha or blending value for blending the pixel value of this hair or object with the background pixel color.

20250157170. IN VARIOUS EXAMPLES, METADATA-BASED IMAG_simplified_abstract_(nvidia corporation)

Abstract: in various examples, metadata-based image harmonization for image stitching systems and applications are disclosed. systems and methods are disclosed that preprocess images with respect to rendering parameters, with the effect of blending those parameters at a border between images to facilitate a smooth rendering when those images are stitched together. an image signal processing (isp) parameter harmonization function may input metadata parameters associated with a set of images to match and blend one or more of the rendering parameters across an overlapping border between images prior to applying those images to a stitching algorithm. a scaling of the metadata parameter may be performed using a parameter gain function. pixels in both images located along the border are adjusted to the same boundary metadata parameter value, and smoothed based on the parameter gain function. a discontinuity in rendering parameters is avoided, substantially avoiding corresponding artifacts in the resulting stitched image.
