Abstract: In an example, a method of transferring data may include synchronizing work-items corresponding to a first subgroup and work-items corresponding to a second subgroup with a barrier. The method may include performing an inter-subgroup data transfer between the first subgroup and the second subgroup.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to generate a pulse width modulated signal from a sampled digital signal by chaotic modulation. The method includes generating predetermined chaotic intervals having random interval values using a chaotic interval generator, and generating the pulse width modulated signal from a reference signal and the sampled digital signal during each of the chaotic intervals. Thus, electromagnetic interference (EMI) that affects an audio amplifier can be remarkably reduced.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of enabling equalization of a room parameter with a simple structure and low cost in an audio system using an acoustic transducer array. The apparatus to equalize a room parameter includes an audio signal generation unit to generate two identical audio signals, an audio signal modification unit to modify the audio signals, a sound beam generation unit to transform each of the two modified signals into a sound, to directly transmit one sound to the position of a listener, and to transmit the other sound to the position of the listener such that the other sound is reflected from a reflecting object and transmitted to the position of the listener, a sound magnitude determination unit to collect a sound generated through synthesis of the two sounds at the position of the listener, and a control unit to obtain a delay constant and a filter coefficient.

Abstract: A method of providing sounds in phase to a listener in an audio system by adjusting sounds with respect to the position of the listener includes generating first and second audio signals having identical magnitudes and opposite phases, and delaying the first audio signal from the second audio signal for a time corresponding to a predetermined delay constant, providing the first and second audio signals to first and second sound transform units, respectively, collecting a synthesized sound generated through a synthesis of first and second sounds corresponding to the first and second audio signals from the position of the listener, and determining a magnitude of the synthesized sound, and obtaining a delay constant to minimize the magnitude of the synthesized sound by repeatedly performing the generating of the first and second audio signals, the providing of the first and second signals, and the determining of the magnitude of the synthesized sound with a plurality of delay constant values; and an apparatus to
