    Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The primary device may process the statistics to determine whether the compute task will be offloaded to the secondary devices or performed locally. The primary device may generate a distribution scheme for the secondary devices based on the statistics. This may involve modeling first delays associated with transmission of signals from the primary device to the secondary devices, second delays associated with transmission of compute results from the secondary devices to the primary device, and third delays associated with processing resources of the secondary devices. The optimized distribution scheme may minimize overall runtime of the compute task given the modeled delays, scheduling grants for the secondary devices, and a radio resource allocation for the secondary devices.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. A first radio may be configured to establish a communication link with an external device, a second radio may be configured to establish a communication link with network equipment. One or more processors in the electronic device may receive information indicative of a duration and termination of the communication link with the external device to operate the second radio in one or more operational modes. If desired, one of the operational modes may include a low-power idle mode during which the second radio performs discontinuous reception while pausing network paging monitoring.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for distributed processing of a matrix data structure is disclosed. In one aspect, the method can include obtaining a first matrix data structure (DS), segmenting the obtained matrix DS into a set of M different matrix DS portions, segmenting each of the different M matrix DS portions into respective sets of K matrix DS sub-portions, for each of the respective sets of K matrix DS sub-portions: generating an obfuscation matrix having the same dimensions as each of the K matrix DS sub-portions, and generating, by one or more computers, an obfuscated representation of each respective set of K matrix DS sub-portions that includes (i) the K matrix DS sub-portions and (ii) the obfuscation matrix, and transmitting data representing each (of the N) obfuscated representation of the (K) matrix DS sub-portions of the respective sets of M matrix DS portions to a different computer for processing.
