Presented are embodiments of methods and systems for library-based compilation and dispatch to automatically spread computations of a program across heterogeneous cores in a processing system. The source program contains a parallel-programming keyword, such as mapreduce, from a high-level, library-oriented parallel programming language. The compiler inserts one or more calls for a generic function, associated with the parallel-programming keyword, into the compiled code. A runtime library provides a predicate-based library system that includes multiple hardware specific implementations (“variants”) of the generic function. A runtime dispatch engine dynamically selects the best-available (e.g., most specific) variant, from a bundle of hardware-specific variants, for a given input and machine configuration. That is, the dispatch engine may take into account run-time availability of processing elements, choose one of them, and then select for dispatch an appropriate variant to be executed on the selected processing element. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus are provided for making function calls to various cryptography accelerators. An application program interface abstraction layer coupled to a cryptography accelerator receives generic function calls from designer configured software and performs operations such as security association management, policy management, packet processing, cryptography accelerator configuration, and key commit management. Upon receiving a generic function call, the abstraction layer performs processing to make a chip specific function call or update abstraction layer management information associated with the generic function call.

The invention discloses a geophysics inversion method based on a generic function reconstruction under a modified total variation model constraint. The method comprises the following steps: (1) constructing an inversion objective function aiming at the problem of regularized inversion of the modified total variation model constraint; (2) performing a generic function reconstruction on stable function terms of the modified total variation; (3) iteratively solving a calculation formula of a new model on the model itself according to an objective function minimization equation; and (4) setting inversion parameters, repeating the iteration to obtain a desired model result, and the result is used for inferring geological structures or positioning geological anomaly bodies. According to the geophysics inversion method based on the generic function reconstruction under the modified total variation model constraint, a generic function reconstruction method is innovatively provided, and the constraint property of the stable function term on the model is reserved, thereby greatly simplifying the numerical calculation difficulty caused by the high nonlinearity to the inversion; the inversionadopts a solution mode which is iterative to the model itself, and compared with a solution mode which is iterative to the correction amount of the model, the regularization directly applies a stablefunction constraint on the model, thereby obtaining a more reasonable model result.
