Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic reconfiguration of logic circuits through sequence operations code that can modify the operational state of configurable logic circuitry during execution. This allows the system to adapt its structure and functionality dynamically, transitioning between different operational modes and configurations to optimize performance for different computational tasks.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the processing system into configurable logic circuitry elements that can be independently controlled and reconfigured. By dividing the logic circuit into multiple configurable units, the system can parallelize operations and reconfigure different segments for different functions, thereby improving both processing efficiency and operational flexibility.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sequence operations code as an intermediary layer between conventional sequential software and parallel processing hardware. This intermediary code translates and orchestrates operations to exploit parallel processing capabilities while maintaining a relatively simple software structure, bridging the gap between sequential programming paradigms and parallel execution requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical sequential execution mechanisms with configurable logic circuitry that can execute operations in parallel. By substituting the sequential instruction execution model with a parallel configurable logic model controlled by sequence operations code, the system achieves higher productivity while managing complexity through systematic control mechanisms.

AI summary

A method and system are provided for deriving a resultant software program from an originating software program that may include overlapping branch logic. The method may include deriving a plurality of software objects from a sequence of processor instructions; associating software objects in accordance with an original logic of the sequence of processor instructions; determining and resolving memory precedence conflicts within the associated plurality of software objects; de-overlapping the execution of the associated plurality of software objects by replacing all overlapping branch logic instructions of the associated series of software objects with equivalent and non-overlapping branch logic instructions; and/or applying the de-overlapped associated plurality of software objects in a programming operation by a parallel execution logic circuitry. The resultant software is more easily converted into programming reconfigurable logic than the originating software program, computers or processors, or by means of a computer or a communications network.
