  • Patent number: 9692673
    Abstract: Consideration of system jitter in selecting a “message passing collectives algorithm” used in a message passing interface. A set of multiple message passing collectives algorithms are ranked against each other with at least some consideration of relative jitter-related performance as between the algorithms. The consideration of jitter includes consideration of “system jitter” (OS jitter and/or network jitter). In some embodiments, multiple rankings are performed for different levels of system jitter.

  • Patent number: 5490121
    Abstract: A nonlinear equalizer aids in transmitting data with more speed and accuracy by reducing nonlinear signal distortion such as found in a mud transmission channel in an MWD telemetry system. The nonlinear equalizer receives an input signal that is modified by at least one nonlinear function element. The nonlinear equalizer also includes multiple linear equalizers: one such linear equalizer receives the unmodified input signal, and the other linear equalizers receive output signals from the nonlinear function elements. Output signals of the linear equalizers are summed to provide the nonlinear equalizer's output signal.
