Adaptive deterministic grouping of blocks into multi-block units

The present invention presents techniques for the linking of physical blocks of a non-volatile memory into composite logical structures or “metablocks”. After determining an initial linking of good physical blocks into metablocks, a record of the linking is maintained in the non-volatile memory where it can be readily accessed when needed. In one set of embodiments, the initially linking is deterministically formed according to an algorithm and can be optimized according to the pattern of any bad blocks in the memory. As additional bad blocks arise, the linking is updated using by replacing the bad blocks in a linking with good blocks, preferably in the same sub-array of the memory as the block that they are replacing.

Physical resynthesis of a logic design

A multiple-pass synthesis technique improves the performance of a design. In a specific embodiment, synthesis is performed in two or more passes. In a first pass, a first synthesis is performed, and in a second or subsequent pass, a second synthesis or resynthesis is performed. During the first synthesis, the logic will be mapped to for example, the logic structures (e.g., logic elements, LUTs, synthesis gates) of the target technology such as a programmable logic device. Alternatively a netlist may be provided from a third party. Before the second synthesis, a fast or abbreviated fit may be performed of the netlist to a specific device (e.g., specific programmable logic device product). Before the second synthesis, the netlist obtained from the first synthesis (or provided by a third party) is unmapped and then the second synthesis is performed. Since a partial fit is performed, the second synthesis has more visibility and optimize the logic better than by using a single synthesis pass. After the second synthesis pass, a more detailed fit is performed.

Scaleable low-latency switch for usage in an interconnect structure

A scalable low-latency switch extends the functionality of a multiple level minimum logic interconnect structure for usage in computers of all types, networks and communication systems. The multiple level minimum logic interconnect structure employs a data flow technique based on timing and positioning of messages moving through the structure. The scalable low-latency switch is distributed throughout multiple nodes in the structure so that a supervisory controller providing a global control function and complex logic structures are avoided while the interconnect structure operates as a "deflection" or "hot potato" system in which processing and storage overhead at each node is reduced. The interconnect structure using the scalable low-latency switch employs a method of achieving wormhole routing through an integrated circuit chip by a novel procedure for inserting messages into the chip. Rather than simultaneously inserting a message into each unblocked node on the outer cylinder at every angle, messages are inserted simultaneously into two columns A and B only if an entire message fits between A and B. Messages are inserted into column 0 at time 0. Messages are inserted into column 1 at time t0+tC, where time tCis the time for a first bit of a message to move from column 0 to column 1 on the top level. Messages are inserted into column 2 at time t0+2tC, and so forth. The strategy prevents the first bit of one message from colliding with an interior bit of another message already in the switch. Contention between entire messages is addressed by resolving the contention between the first bit only so that messages wormhole through many cells.

Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation

In view of the foregoing, an improved handheld electronic device includes a keypad in the form of a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. As a user enters keystrokes, the device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants from which a user can choose. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry, and when initiating an activity session on a word such as during editing, the display outputs variants of the entire word being edited, rather than providing as variants only those parts of a word that are being edited. The device also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. In certain predefined circumstances, the disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device.

Apparatus and method for clock skew adjustment in a programmable logic fabric

InactiveUS7362135B1Minimize operating periodMinimize clock periodSolid-state devicesCAD circuit designProcessor registerProgrammable logic device
A programmable logic fabric includes configurable logic block (CLB) containing registers and combinatorial logic elements. An input switch matrix distributes incoming signals to CLB inputs or inputs of embedded logic elements including a register clock. A routing network allows a variety of routing paths with distinct delays to be selected to route the CLB outputs to the input switch matrices. Presented clock delay insertion architectures allow a leaf node of dedicated clock network and a register clock input can be alternatively routed through the routing network, thereby allowing for the generation of a variable amount of clock delay. Required clock delay for each register minimizing the clock period is computed by clock skew optimization program. A set of alternative clock routes is generated for each register clock where each route delay is close to the corresponding required delay while satisfying the monotone increasing conditions. Optimal clock route for each register clock can be efficiently selected from the alternative clock routes by an integer monotonic program to reduce the clock period of a custom design implemented in the fabric.
