Network testing systems

A method of testing a digital mobile phone network such as a GPRS or 3 G network comprises creating test traffic using an unmodified test mobile phone coupled to a computer, and using the computer to measure a parameter associated with the network's response to the test traffic. The measurements made by the computer are encoded into the test traffic to create a data stream within the mobile phone network comprising test traffic, measurements relating to the test traffic, and signalling relating to the test traffic, whereby this data stream can be captured at points within the network and analysed to investigate the functioning of the network dynamically as the network is exercised with the test traffic. Software and test equipment for performing the method are also described.

Reintialization of a processing system from volatile memory upon resuming from a low-power state

Boot configuration information is stored to a volatile memory of a processing system during a low-power state. When resuming from the low-power state, a processor device accesses configuration information for a memory controller from a non-volatile memory and restores the memory controller using the configuration information so as to permit access to the volatile memory. The processor device then configures the initial contexts one or more processor cores using the core state information maintained by the volatile memory during the low-power state and accessed via the configured memory controller, and the one or more processor cores completes the boot process by executing resume boot code maintained by the volatile memory during the low-power state and accessed via the configured memory controller, rather than accessing boot code from a non-volatile memory.

RF amplification system and method

Spread-spectrum technology, either direct sequence or frequency hopping, or a combination of the two, is used for transmitting audio signals one way and control signals two ways over an RF channel(s) to reduce interference with / from other RF transmissions and enabling use of multiple such systems in close proximity without requiring pre-selection of transmission frequencies. Alternatively, multiple channels with appended access codes may be used, wherein interference or loss of clear signal results in automatic switching to another channel. The control signals accompany the transmitted audio signal at some time in the transmission interval, or previous to the beginning of the transmission interval, and constitute a coded control message allowing a unique connection. In some cases the encoding keys may only occur at the beginning of the desired message, while in other cases the two-way control signals may continue throughout the interval of the message link.

Method and system for patching instructions in a shader for a 3-D graphics pipeline

A method and system for patching instructions in a 3-D graphics pipeline. Specifically, in one embodiment, instructions to be executed within a scheduling process for a shader pipeline of the 3-D graphics pipeline are patchable. A scheduler includes a decode table, an expansion table, and a resource table that are each patchable. The decode table translates high level instructions to an appropriate microcode sequence. The patchable expansion table expands a high level instruction to a program of microcode if the high level instruction is complex. The resource table assigns the units for executing the microcode. Addresses within each of the tables can be patched to modify existing instructions and create new instructions. That is, contents in each address in the tables that are tagged can be replaced with a patch value of a corresponding register.

QR decomposition in an integrated circuit device

Circuitry speeds up the QR decomposition of a matrix. The circuitry can be provided in a fixed logic device, or can be configured into a programmable integrated circuit device such as a programmable logic device. This implementation performs Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization with no dependencies between iterations. QR decomposition of a matrix can be performed by processing entire columns at once as a vector operation. Data dependencies within and between matrix columns are removed, as later functions dependent on an earlier result may be generated from partial results somewhere in the datapath, rather than from an earlier completed result. Different passes through the matrix are timed so that different computations requiring the same functional units arrive at different time slots. After the Q matrix has been calculated, the R matrix may be calculated from the Q matrix by taking its transpose and multiplying the transpose by the original input matrix.

Ordering constraint management within coherent memory systems

A data processing system including multiple processors 6, 8, 10, 12 each with a local cache memory 14, 16, 18, 20 share a main memory 24 under control of a coherency controller 22. Store requests from a store requester which are to be serviced by data received from the main memory 24 trigger the coherency controller 22 to return exclusive rights to access the data to the store requester before the corresponding data is returned from the main memory 24. The store requester uses possession of the exclusive rights to access the data to permit further processing with an ordering constraint relative to the store request to proceed even though the store request has yet to be finished. The ordering constraint may be, for example, a fence instruction. The store requester in possession of the exclusive rights to access the data values ensures that the store request is finished and its results observed by any instruction as required by the ordering constraint it has released early.

Protograph quasi-cyclic polar codes and related low-density generator matrix family

Data communications and storage systems require error control techniques to be transferred successfully without failure. Polar coding has been used as a state-of-the-art forward error correction code for such an error control technique. However, the conventional decoding based on successive cancellation has a drawback in its poor performance and long latency to complete. Because the factor graph of polar codes has a lot of short cycles, a parallelizable belief propagation decoding also does not perform well. The method and system of the present invention provide a way to resolve the issues by introducing a protograph lifting expansion for a polar coding family so that highly parallelizable decoding is realized to achieve a high coding gain and high throughput without increasing the computational complexity and latency. The invention enables an iterative message passing to work properly by eliminating short cycles through a hill-climbing optimization of frozen bits allocation and permutation.
