15347 results about "Parallel computing" patented technology

Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or the execution of processes are carried out simultaneously. Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time. There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction-level, data, and task parallelism. Parallelism has long been employed in high-performance computing, but it's gaining broader interest due to the physical constraints preventing frequency scaling. As power consumption (and consequently heat generation) by computers has become a concern in recent years, parallel computing has become the dominant paradigm in computer architecture, mainly in the form of multi-core processors.

Method for selecting active code traces for translation in a caching dynamic translator

A method is shown for selecting active, or hot, code traces in an executing program for storage in a code cache. A trace is a sequence of dynamic instructions characterized by a start address and a branch history which allows the trace to be dynamically disassembled. Each trace is terminated by execution of a trace terminating condition which is a backward taken branch, an indirect branch, or a branch whose execution causes the branch history for the trace to reach a predetermined limit. As each trace is generated by the executing program, it is loaded into a buffer for processing. When the buffer is full, a counter corresponding to the start address of each trace is incremented. When the count for a start address exceeds a threshold, then the start address is marked as being hot. Each hot trace is then checked to see if the next trace in the buffer shares the same start address, in which case the hot trace is cyclic. If the start address of the next trace is not the same as the hot trace, then the traces in the buffer are checked to see they form a larger cycle of execution. If the traces subsequent to the hot trace are not hot themselves and are followed by a trace having the same start address as the hot trace, then their branch histories are companded with the branch history of the hot trace to form a cyclic trace. The cyclic traces are then disassembled and the instructions executed in the trace are stored in a code cache.

FPGA with register-intensive architecture

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA's) may be structured in accordance with the disclosure to have a register-intensive architecture that provides, for each of plural function-spawning LookUp Tables (e.g. a 4-input, base LUT's) within a logic block, a plurality of in-block accessible registers. A register-feeding multiplexer means may be provided for allowing each of the plural registers to equivalently capture and store a result signal output by the corresponding, base LUT of the plural registers. Registerable, primary and secondary feedthroughs may be provided for each base LUT so that locally-acquired input signals of the LUT may be fed-through to the corresponding, in-block registers for register-recovery purposes without fully consuming (wasting) the lookup resources of the associated, base LUT. A multi-stage, input switch matrix (ISM) may be further provided for acquiring and routing input signals from adjacent, block-interconnect lines (AIL's) and/or block-intra-connect lines (e.g., FB's) to the base LUT's and/or their respective, registerable feedthroughs. Techniques are disclosed for utilizing the many in-block registers and/or the registerable feedthroughs and/or the multi-stage ISM's for efficiently implementing various circuit designs by appropriately configuring such register-intensive FPGA's.
