Low latency path failover to avoid network blackholes and scheduler for central processing unit engines for hardware offloaded artificial intelligence/machine learning workloads and low power system for acoustic event detection

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• determine a designated network path configured to transfer traffic data from the apparatus, via one or more network switches, to a second communication device;
• determine at least one network failure, associated with the network path, causing at least a subset of the traffic data to be blocked along the network path;
• determine one or more tracker windows associated with one or more other network paths that are available to transfer traffic content;
• and
• select at least one network path of the one or more other network paths to transfer the at least the subset of the traffic data to the second communication device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

• determining a designated network path configured to transfer traffic data from a first communication device, via one or more network switches, to a second communication device;
• determining at least one network failure, associated with the network path, causing at least a subset of the traffic data to be blocked along the network path;
• determining one or more tracker windows associated with one or more other network paths that are available to transfer traffic content;
• and
• selecting at least one network path of the one or more other network paths to transfer the at least the subset of the traffic data to the second communication device.
