  • Patent number: 11556162
    Abstract: A processor utilizes instruction based sampling to generate sampling data sampled on a per instruction basis during execution of an instruction. The sampling data indicates what processor hardware was used due to the execution of the instruction. Software receives the sampling data and generates an estimate of energy used by the instruction based on the sampling data. The sampling data may include microarchitectural events and the energy estimate utilizes a base energy amount corresponding to the instruction executed along with energy amounts corresponding to the microarchitectural events in the sampling data. The sampling data may include switching events associated with hardware blocks that switched due to execution of the instruction and the energy estimate for the instruction is based on the switching events and capacitance estimates associated with the hardware blocks.

  • Patent number: 11487917
    Abstract: A design engine implements a probabilistic approach to generating designs for computer-aided design (CAD) assemblies. The design engine initially generates a population of designs based on a problem definition associated with a design problem. Each design includes a randomly-generated set of design values assigned to various design variables. The design engine repairs any infeasible designs in the population of designs and then executes a dynamic simulation with the population of designs. The design engine selects the most performant designs and identifies, based on those performant designs, design variables that are dependent on one another. The design engine generates a probability model indicating conditional probabilities between design values associated with dependent design variables. The design engine then iteratively samples the probability model to generate a subsequent population of designs.
