Abstract:
A neural network including an embedding layer to receive a gate function vector and an embedding width and alter a shape of the gate function vector by the embedding width, a concatenator to receive a gate feature input vector and concatenate the gate feature input vector with the gate function vector altered by the embedding width, a convolution layer to receive a window size, stride, and output feature size and generate an output convolution vector with a shape based on a length of the gate function vector, the window size of the convolution layer, and the output feature size of the convolution layer, and a fully connected layer to reduce the gate output convolution vector to a final path delay output.
Abstract:
A distributed test circuit includes partitions arranged in series to form a scan path, each partition including a scan multiplexer, a test data register, and a segment insertion bit component. The scan multiplexer of each partition provides inputs to the corresponding test data register of the each partition. Broadcast control logic generates a select signal to the scan multiplexer of each partition to place the test circuit in a broadcast mode when the select signal is asserted, and to switch the test circuit to a daisy mode when select signal is de-asserted. The segment insertion bit is operable to include or bypass each partition from the scan path.
Abstract:
A method for adapting power consumption of a processor based upon an application demand is provided. The method initiates with determining an application demand based upon a current processing operation. Then, a time interval associated with the application demand is determined. Next, unnecessary power consuming functions for the application demand are determined. Then, a clock frequency for the unnecessary power consuming functions is reduced for the time interval. In one embodiment, the power is terminated to the unnecessary power consuming functions. In another embodiment, the clock frequency of the processor is adjusted for at least a portion of the time interval. A program interface for adapting power consumption of a computer system, processor instructions for adapting power consumption of a computer system and a processor are included.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for enhanced security for communication over a network, and more particularly to Network Address Translation (NAT) integration Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), is described. A client computer makes a second address request in order to prompt an address server to provide a public address. This address, recorded in a mapping table accessible by a gateway computer. This public address is used as a source address for packets from a client using IPSec. When the gateway computer identifies a packet's source address as one of it's public addresses, NAT is suspended for this packet, and the packet is routed without NAT. Incoming traffic is routed using the mapping table.
Abstract:
A circuit package includes a central chip and multiple input/output (IO) chips disposed along a periphery of the central chip, wherein at least some of the IO chips being non-rectangular and extending into corner regions of the periphery. The IO chips may have non-rectangular patterned areas in the shape of isosceles trapezoids, right trapezoids, and stepped tables, for example.
Abstract:
Adaptive clock mechanisms for serial links utilizing a delay-chain-based edge generation circuit to generate a clock that is a faster (higher-frequency) version of an incoming digital clock. The base frequency of the link clock utilized by the line transmitters is determined by the (slower) clock utilized by the digital circuitry supplying data to the line transmitters. An edge generator that may be composed of only non-synchronous circuit elements multiplies the edges of the slower clock to generate the link clock and also a clock forwarded to the receiver at a phase offset from the link clock.
Abstract:
A process to manage congestion in a network involves converting traffic received from the local endpoints to a bandwidth demand for one or more destination endpoint in a remote group, and determining a sum over the destination endpoints of a minimum of a maximum bandwidth of a link and a bandwidth demand to one or more of the remote endpoints.
Abstract:
A circuit system and method of manufacturing a printed circuit board includes providing an integrated circuit package mounted on a first side of a printed circuit board and a power regulator connected to power terminals of the integrated circuit package through a cutout in the printed circuit board. The power regulator draws power from the printed circuit board by way of side pins around a periphery of the cutout.
Abstract:
A circuit board includes chip die mounted on a three dimensional rectangular structure, a three dimensional triangular prism structure, or a combination thereof. A ball grid array for the chip die mounted on any such three dimensional structure is interposed between the three dimensional structure and the circuit board itself.
Abstract:
A static random access memory (SRAM) or other bit-storing cell arrangement includes memory cells and a hierarchical bitline structure including local bitlines for subsets of the memory banks and a global bitline spanning the subsets. A keeper circuit for the global bitline is replaced by bias circuitry on output transistors of the memory cells.
