Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computing systems face challenges in optimizing the space and time required for configuring devices due to a significant number of redundant write operations and inefficient handling of register configurations, which consume valuable storage and execution time.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves optimizing register configurations by identifying redundant operations, reordering write sequences to minimize distances, indexing values and addresses, and applying encoding techniques such as ULEB and Huffman encoding to reduce the size of configuration data, thereby minimizing the number of store operations and execution time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If redundant write operations are included in the configuration sequence, then the device configuration is complete and correct, but the configuration data size and execution time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes redundant write operations from the configuration sequence. The system identifies operations that write the same value to the same register address multiple times, keeping only the necessary operations while eliminating duplicates, thus reducing execution time without compromising configuration correctness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of the configuration sequence to identify and mark redundant operations before execution. By pre-processing the configuration data to detect patterns of redundancy, the system can optimize the sequence in advance, removing unnecessary operations while ensuring all required configurations are preserved
2Reliability
If redundant write operations are included in the configuration sequence, then the device configuration is complete and correct, but the configuration data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts redundant configuration data from the storage sequence. By identifying operations that repeat the same value-address pairs, the system removes duplicate data entries, reducing the overall configuration data size while maintaining all necessary configuration information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the representation parameters of the configuration data by encoding redundant information more efficiently. Instead of storing complete value-address pairs for every write operation, the system uses differential encoding and indexing to represent repeated operations with fewer bits, reducing storage requirements
3Quantity of substance
If the configuration data is heavily compressed using complex schemes, then the data size is reduced, but the implementation complexity and difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses simple, lightweight encoding schemes that are easy to implement in hardware rather than complex compression algorithms. The approach employs basic techniques like run-length encoding, differential encoding, and lookup tables that require minimal computational resources and can be implemented with simple logic circuits
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the encoding parameters to use simpler representations. Instead of complex compression transformations, the system uses direct encoding methods such as storing only changed values, using delta encoding for sequential values, and implementing lookup tables for repeated patterns, all of which are computationally inexpensive
4Loss of time
If write operations are reordered to minimize distances, then the execution time is reduced, but the sequence complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary reordering of write operations based on their target register addresses and values. By analyzing the configuration sequence in advance and sorting operations to group similar or adjacent register writes together, the system minimizes the time required for execution while using simple sorting and grouping logic rather than complex optimization algorithms

AI summary
Presented herein are systems and methods for configuring devices with write operations. One or more processors can identify a first sequence of write operations to configure a device. Each write operation in the first sequence of write operations can identify a set of a value and an address to which to write the value. The one or more processors can determine one or more distances between a set of the value and the address of a write operation and at least one other set of the value and the address of one or more other write operations in the first sequence of write operations. The one or more processors can generate a second sequence of write operations based at least on the one or more distances. The one or more processors can cause the device to be configured using the second sequence of write operations.
