Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for optimizing processor performance through memory placement in computing devices are tedious, time-consuming, and lack flexibility, often resulting in underutilized processing resources.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface (GUI) system for configuring memory placement in computing devices, allowing users to input memory placement requests and generate configuration data without the need for code compilation or flashing, using an allocator to allocate memory based on user inputs and device capacity.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If iterative code changes and recompilation are performed to optimize memory placement, then processor performance can be improved, but the process becomes time-consuming and tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a visual copy or representation of the memory placement configuration through a graphical user interface. Instead of directly modifying code and recompiling, users can visually configure memory placement parameters, and the system generates the necessary code configurations automatically. This copying approach eliminates iterative compilation cycles while preserving the optimization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary graphical user interface layer between the user and the memory placement configuration. This intermediary translates user-friendly visual selections into actual code configurations and memory placement parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually write and recompile code while still achieving optimized memory placement.
2Productivity
If multiple code changes are made to allocate memory blocks to different processing modules, then memory optimization can be achieved, but the complexity of the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple memory allocation configurations into a single visual interface. Instead of requiring separate code changes for each memory block allocation, the GUI allows users to configure all memory placement parameters in one unified view, automatically generating the necessary code configurations for multiple processing modules simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical user interface serves multiple functions: it displays memory layout, allows configuration of memory placement parameters, generates code configurations, and visualizes the effects of different allocation strategies. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate tools or processes into a single system.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional memory placement methods are used, then code can be compiled and flashed, but flexibility for engineers to adjust configurations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic configuration system where memory placement parameters can be adjusted in real-time through the graphical user interface. Users can modify memory allocation settings, latency parameters, and processing module assignments without recompiling code, and immediately see the effects through visual feedback. This dynamic approach replaces static code-based configuration with flexible visual control.
