Filed:

Jun 15, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/624538

International Classification:

G01S 19/09

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for cloud-offloaded position calculation with on-device acquisition. One method includes operations for collecting raw global positioning system (GPS) signals for a set of positions, and storing in memory the raw GPS signals. The method further includes processing the raw GPS signals in batch mode at the computing device to obtain acquisition data for the positions, where the processing includes identifying tasks for parallel processing by a graphics processing unit (GPU), performing, by the GPU, the tasks in parallel by assigning each of the tasks to a core processor within the GPU, and combining results from performing the tasks to obtain the acquisition data. Additionally, the method includes an operation for transmitting the acquisition data to a server for calculating locations for the set positions at the server, the server storing the locations and making the locations available for location-tracking applications.

International Classification:

G01S 19/28
G01S 19/09

Abstract:

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine readable mediums which utilize a new GNSS processing method called cloud-offloaded, device-acquisition GPS (CODA-GPS). Rather than offloading both the acquisition and localization processes as was done with CO-GPS, the computing device performs satellite acquisition itself and sends the acquisition data to the cloud for localization. Also disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide for reduced acquisition calculations for devices. The reduced acquisition time is achieved through visible satellite prediction techniques that allows for searching only a limited set of satellites.

International Classification:

Abstract:

Various methods and systems for implementing resource management for an infrastructure are provided. Resource management includes datacenter byproduct management interfaces, datacenter power management, datacenter operations optimization and infrastructure resource management. Resource management facilitates using and distributing physical resources, including incidental physical resources that are generated during operation of an infrastructure, based on a minimum threshold reserve of the physical resource associated with the operating the infrastructure. Resource management can include controlling an amount of the physical resource that is generated and an amount the physical resource that is reserved. The minimum threshold reserve in combination with the control over generating and reserving the physical resource help identify an allocable amount of the physical resource. Physical resources of an infrastructure are quantified to support resource management. Quantifying physical resources is associated with devices of the infrastructure and requests for physical resources in the infrastructure to perform different types of operations.
