Enhanced Air-Cooling System with Optimized Asynchronously-Cooled Thermal Energy Storage

A transformative dry-cooling system that includes two primary dry-cooling components has been developed in this project. The two main features of this new technology consist of: (a) an ultra-enhanced air-cooled condenser (ACC), with novel swirl-producing and boundary-layer disrupting enhanced surface on the air-side of the condenser that substantially increase the heat transfer coefficients, and (b) a novel daytime peak-load shifting system that reduces the ambient air inlet temperature for air cooling, consisting of a highly compact and enhanced air pre-cooler that transfers the heat load to a unique thermal energy storage (TES), and which is coupled to the ACC in (a).

Systems and methods for automatic data management for an asynchronous task-based runtime

A compilation system can define, at compile time, the data blocks to be managed by an Even Driven Task (EDT) based runtime/platform, and can also guide the runtime/platform on when to create and/or destroy the data blocks, so as to improve the performance of the runtime/platform. The compilation system can also guide, at compile time, how different tasks may access the data blocks they need in a manner that can improve performance of the tasks.

Optimized asynchronous training of neural networks using a distributed parameter server with eager updates

A method of training a neural network includes, at a local computing node, receiving remote parameters from a set of one or more remote computing nodes, initiating execution of a forward pass in a local neural network in the local computing node to determine a final output based on the remote parameters, initiating execution of a backward pass in the local neural network to determine updated parameters for the local neural network, and prior to completion of the backward pass, transmitting a subset of the updated parameters to the set of remote computing nodes.

Handling gait disturbances with asynchronous timing

An example method may include i) detecting a disturbance to a gait of a robot, where the gait includes a swing state and a step down state, the swing state including a target swing trajectory for a foot of the robot, and where the target swing trajectory includes a beginning and an end; and ii) based on the detected disturbance, causing the foot of the robot to enter the step down state before the foot reaches the end of the target swing trajectory.
