Show HN: Resource Manager – Manage all resources on the computer

Hello everyone, I'm BIOcanse.Windows Task Manager has inaccurate readings and limited monitoring items. Various hardware adjustments are also very separated—CPU, GPU, and fans all require their own individual software. Their interfaces and interactions are primitive, and they often overwrite each other's configurations. Moreover, driver management of the CPU and GPU is too clumsy, and the memory usage issue on Windows is also very serious. So I made Resource Manager to view and manage all these resources in one place, making monitoring and scheduling work seamlessly together.Monitoring:This software integrates almost every possible monitoring item, letting you look at your computer from a God's-eye view!Scheduling:One of the core features. It uses algorithms I wrote to optimize memory usage and reasonably schedule processes across multiple CPU cores. It also supports GPU scheduling, which means it can switch the GPU a program uses while it is running. For example, after launching a game, if GPU usage is high or VRAM is about to overflow, it will move the remaining software to another GPU (for most personal computers, this is usually the integrated GPU).Reporting:Many times, computer performance problems are actually just caused by a single program or driver—the benefits of 100 programs optimizing themselves cannot make up for a memory leak in just one program. The reporting page reports abnormal resource usage (CPU, GPU, memory, VRAM, disk read/write, network traffic, and causing system interruptions).Hardware Adjustment:All the parameters you can think of for hardware like the CPU and GPU can be adjusted here. However, my own setup is an AMD CPU + NVIDIA GPU, so other setups still need to be verified. I do have several computers with Intel CPUs to verify Intel CPU support, but I really do not have a single AMD GPU. Although most of it uses mature open-source dependencies, there may still be risks, so please use it with caution. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50380521 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Show HN: SrcWranglr

I spend a lot of time diving deep into C/C++ code bases for various reasons. Normally for Vulnerability Research. I like to get a good feel for the software, it's data structures, control flow, etc. Are all usually important.In the past we have SourceTrail, this is now defunct and its abilities were somewhat limited. If you have thousands to spend you can grab a Understand license... Wait maybe thats SourceNavigator. Either way I wrote SrcWranglr. Its my very first Rust project (congrats to the insufferable Rusteans, I finally cracked and learned Rust).Anyhow SrcWranglr is wicked free, wicked fast, has a modern UI, and features that assist in finding bugs/vulns. You can run semgrep rules over the codebase, or have a fuzz harness generated for you by the program with ease.. Its still super early in development but it already helped me discover a 0day :-).. Give it a shot if you want. I am open to any suggestions and if it is in your heart to contribute let me know. I only get to work on personal projects here and there on account of work... But yea enough babbling.https://github.com/jdefrancesco/SrcWranglr Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50380536 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Structured Priors: Towards an algebra of component priors for prior-data fitted networks

arXiv:2611.04056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prior-data fitted networks are typically trained using synthetic data generated by a single, manually constructed generator. In cases where such a generator combines multiple components, e.g., in TabPFN, Mitra, or TabICLv2, this is achieved through a mixture using manually specified weights, the impact of which on the network only becomes apparent after pre-training. Instead of such a hand-built generator, this work proposes a structured prior: a small set of named component priors, linked by operators whose algebraic properties are formally proven and whose influence on the trained network has been validated. Within a measure-theoretic framework, the operators of mixture, convolution, amplitude scaling, local transform, and projection are defined. Their governing laws are proven. These operators are implemented in the macl2l software package. Experiments demonstrate that the implemented generators reproduce the identities within the resolution of a permutation test. Furthermore, it is shown that trained networks obey the distributive law; that a mixed prior composed of small components performs as well as or better than any individual component in seven out of eight open regression benchmarks; and that on two of these tables a structured prior reaches, with a ninth of the data budget, an error that a generic random-function prior does not reach even with the full budget. A theorem on model averaging demonstrates that networks trained on individual components constitute the Bayes predictor for the mixture, provided that the component networks are themselves the Bayes predictors for their respective priors. However, the pre-registered test of this averaged predictor with trained component networks failed, because the networks identify the generating component too rarely. The paper proposes a research program focused on the algebra of structured priors for prior-data fitted networks.

TB-Transolver: Parallelized and Coherent Long-Horizon Rollouts via Temporal Bundling for Time-Dependent PDEs

arXiv:2611.04063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transolver has recently gained widespread adoption for solving diverse physical problems on unstructured geometric meshes by leveraging its Physics-Attention mechanism, which seamlessly extends standard softmax attention to handle physical domains at scale. For time-dependent problems, existing literature relies on time-conditioned or autoregressive rollouts to preserve temporal causality while retaining Physics-Attention as the spatial backbone. However, a fundamental limitation of this formulation is its sequential execution model, wherein computational costs scale linearly with the temporal horizon, rendering standard Transolver inefficient for transient problems despite its exceptional spatial efficacy. This bottleneck has historically hindered its broader application in time-dependent physical modeling. To address this limitation, we introduce TB-Transolver (also referred to as Temporally Bundled Transolver), an efficient framework built on temporal bundling that scales Transolver for time-dependent PDEs. Furthermore, we propose \emph{spatiotemporal coherence} (${\rm C(K)}$) as a general metric to systematically quantify snapshot correlation within a temporal bundle, enabling the \emph{a priori} selection of optimal bundle widths using training data alone, thereby avoiding expensive grid searches. We demonstrate the computational efficacy of TB-Transolver across four physically distinct domains, namely, plasticity, fluid dynamics, reaction-diffusion, and global weather forecasting; achieving training speedups of up to $29\times$ over conventional autoregressive and time-conditioned baselines. Finally, these computational gains are further amplified through distributed multi-node and multi-GPU parallelism, yielding aggregated speedups of up to $45.6\times$ at optimal bundle widths for systems exhibiting high spatiotemporal coherence compared to single-GPU implementations.

Towards Efficient Whole Page Ranking with One-Pass Inference

arXiv:2611.05542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Whole-page ranking jointly optimizes advertisements and organic content to balance business outcomes and user engagement under complex layout and business constraints. Existing non-autoregressive (NAR) approaches enable efficient page generation but typically score candidate items independently of previously selected items, limiting their ability to capture order-dependent interactions. Autoregressive (AR) methods address this limitation through sequential conditioning, but incur substantial inference overhead that challenges large-scale deployment. Bridging this quality-efficiency gap remains a challenge in industrial whole-page ranking. We propose Multi-Item Scoring (MIS), a prefix-aware NAR-style framework that incorporates sequential context into efficient multi-item scoring. MIS integrates global candidate interactions, localized prefix conditioning, and position-aware scoring within a shared representation architecture. By computing reusable representations once per request and performing lightweight prefix-conditioned scoring during constrained beam search, MIS captures important sequential dependencies without repeated full-model inference. Experiments on KuaiRand-1K and RL4RS demonstrate that MIS approaches the generation quality of an autoregressive CGA baseline while achieving 4.07x and 3.54x faster CPU decoding, respectively. In a randomized evaluation on a large-scale social-video platform, MIS improves the realization metric by 0.104% and watch time by 0.058%, while reducing ranking-service CPU consumption by 9.73%. These results demonstrate that prefix-aware multi-item scoring can narrow the quality gap between NAR and AR generation while retaining the efficiency required for industrial scalability.

Uncertainty-Aware Resource Orchestration for Agentic AI Systems

arXiv:2611.05392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems powered by large language models (LLMs) execute as autonomous multi-step pipelines that dynamically invoke tools, integrate observations into memory, and iterate until a task is resolved or a resource budget is exhausted. Unlike classical workflows with fixed graphs, the aggregate compute, bandwidth, and end-to-end latency demands of such pipelines are unknown at dispatch time: they emerge at runtime from intermediate observations and stochastic token sampling, yielding heavy-tailed, multi-modal random variables. This unpredictability forces infrastructure orchestrators into a dilemma: under-provisioning risks mid-execution throttling and deadline violations, while over-provisioning wastes scarce edge or cloud capacity. Existing schedulers require a fully known pipeline graph, while edge resource-management methods rely on parametric or stationary demand models, and neither fits the unknown, non-stationary profiles of agentic pipelines. We formalize this setting as the uncertainty-aware agentic orchestration problem, where the goal is to reserve, at dispatch time, compute and bandwidth allocations that cover actual pipeline demands, and to verify that the pipeline can meet its deadline, each with a prescribed probability. We then propose Conformal Reservation for Orchestration (CRO), an online algorithm that translates a sliding window of past execution traces into dispatch-time resource allocations with finite-sample, distribution-free coverage guarantees via conformal prediction. Simulations over heterogeneous task mixes with multi-modal and heavy-tailed profiles show that CRO is the only evaluated method that simultaneously satisfies target probabilistic coverage across all risk levels while, among coverage-feasible methods, attaining the lowest over-reservation, roughly halving the resource waste of the Chebyshev-bound baseline.

Use decision models with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations

Some agent-evaluation questions are narrow and repeatable, and decision models answer exactly that kind of question. This post shows how to connect two decision models, Jev and Strands Decider, to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations through code-based evaluators, and how to validate a decision-model check before you gate a release on it.
