Novel match mismatch emulation scheme for an addressed location in a cam

A novel match / mismatch emulation scheme for an addressed location in a CAM system that includes a plurality of CAM blocks. The plurality of CAM blocks are organized into at least one rectangular array having rows each having a plurality of CAM blocks, a group of CAM cells and associated read / write bit lines connecting the group of CAM cells to an addressed search circuit. During debug mode, where the individual array cells do not participate in search, all the cells in the debug column behave the same way to emulate a match / mismatch on all words. The circuit provides a control input to include address evaluation of a debug cell in a row. The circuit also provides simultaneous switching noise analysis on an evaluating row. The resulting CAM cell provides a circuit to test individual rows for defects and noise analysis.

Non-volatile semiconductor memory device

A write bit line and a read bit line are provided separately for a memory cell. A source line connecting to the memory cell is formed of a source impurity region the same in conductivity type as a substrate region. A memory cell transistor and the source impurity region are connected by a metal interconnection line of a low resistance. A rise in the source line potential can be prevented, and a memory cell current can reliably be generated according to storage data. Further, fast data reading can be achieved. Additionally, by performing precharging and data amplification in a unit of read bit line, the load of the read bit line can be alleviated to achieve fast reading. An accessing time of a non-volatile semiconductor memory device that uses a variable resistance element as a storage element is reduced without increasing the current consumption.

Techniques For Improving Write Stability Of Memory With Decoupled Read And Write Bit Lines

InactiveUS20080181029A1Improve writing stabilityDigital storageWrite bitComputer hardware
In a memory circuit, data from all cells along a selected word line is read. Then, the read data is written back to half-selected cells and new data is written to the selected cells in the next cycle. In cases where a READ bit line (RBL) and WRITE bit line (WBL) are decoupled, RBL and WBL can be accessed simultaneously. Hence, the WRITE in the n-th cycle can be delayed to the n+1-th cycle as far as there is no data hazard such as reading data from memory before correct data are actually written to memory. As a result, there is no bandwidth loss, although the latency of the WRITE operation increases. WRITE stability issues in previous configurations with decoupled RBL and WBL are thus addressed.

Cull streams for fine-grained rendering predication

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique to perform fine-grained rendering predication using an IGPU. A graphics driver divides a 3D object into batches of triangles. The IGPU processes each batch of triangles through a modified rendering pipeline to determine if the batch is culled. The IGPU writes bits into a bitstream corresponding to the visibility of the batches. Advantageously, this approach to rendering predication provides fine-grained culling without adding unnecessary overhead, thereby optimizing both hardware resources and performance.
