Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a processor with limited bit width is used to process data of larger bit widths, then the processor can handle more data types, but the computing efficiency and overhead are degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides multi-bit width data into multiple smaller bit width components. For example, a 32-bit value is split into four 8-bit components. This segmentation allows the processor to handle larger bit width data types by processing smaller components separately, maintaining computing efficiency while improving adaptability to different data types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bit width processing capability of a processor is increased, then larger bit width data can be processed directly, but the computing cost and overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of increasing the processor's bit width processing capability directly, the patent segments large bit width data into smaller components that match the processor's native capabilities. This approach avoids the increased computing cost and energy loss associated with processing larger bit widths directly, while still enabling the processor to handle various data types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent processes data in partial steps by dividing it into smaller bit width components. Rather than attempting to process the entire multi-bit value in one operation (which would be excessive for the processor's capabilities), it performs multiple smaller operations that are more energy-efficient and better matched to the processor's architecture.
3Device complexity
If multi-bit width data is processed as a whole, then the computation is simpler, but processors with limited bit width cannot process it efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments multi-bit width data into smaller components that the processor can handle efficiently. While this increases the number of operations required, each operation becomes simpler and more efficient, as it operates within the processor's native bit width capabilities. The overall processing efficiency improves because the processor operates at optimal performance levels on each component.
