  • Patent number: 9521002
    Abstract: A method for storing digital data information on a data carrier and for reading the information therefrom uses a disk having an individual digital identifier. A signature is formed, and the information includes information items, which can be processed by a first electronic data processing device only if the identifier and the signature are in a predefined relation to one another. To supply a household appliance operated by an electric motor with process control data, while ensuring that only original data are used, the information components can be processed by a second electronic data processing device even if the signature and the identifier are not in the predefined relation to one another. Also, a household appliance operable by an electric motor, in particular a food processor, has an electronic data processing device. A system and an integrated semiconductor circuit also realize the features for storing digital data information.

  • Patent number: 9383977
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating a compiler description from an architecture description. Information is automatically extracted from an architecture description that is usable in a description of an architecture described by the architecture description. The extracted information is imported into a program comprising a graphical user interface that accepts user provided additional information that is usable in the compiler description. User provided additional information is accessed that is usable in the compiler description. A compiler description is automatically generated for the architecture described by the architecture description, based on the automatically extracted information and the accessed user provided additional information.

  • Patent number: 9317298
    Abstract: Generating an instruction set for an architecture. A hierarchical description of an architecture is accessed. Groups in the hierarchical description that can be pre-encoded without increasing final width of said instruction set are pre-encoded. The hierarchical description is permutated into a plurality of variations. Each variation comprises a leaf-group and one or more sub-graphs to be encoded. For each said variation, the leaf-group and the one or more sub-graphs are encoded to produce a potential instruction set for each variation. One of the potential instruction sets is selected.

  • Patent number: 9280326
    Abstract: Generating a description of compiler code selector rules from an architecture description. A method comprises accessing a target architecture model written in an architecture description language (ADL) and extracting semantic information therefrom to generate a plurality of semantic statements. Rules that map from source code operations to semantic patterns are accessed. The semantic statements are searched for matches for the semantic patterns to generate mappings that serve as a description of compiler code selector rules.

  • Patent number: 8898651
    Abstract: A method and system for the automatic generation of user guides. Specifically, the method of the present invention includes accessing an abstract processor model of a processor, wherein said abstract processor model is represented using a hierarchical architecture description language (ADL). The abstract processor model includes a plurality of instructions arranged in a hierarchical structure. An internal representation of the abstract processor model is generated by flattening the abstract processor model. The flattening process generates a plurality of rules grouped by common convergent instructions. Each rule describes an instruction path through the hierarchical structure that converges at a corresponding convergent instruction. An instruction-set documentation is automatically generated from the plurality of rules, wherein the instruction-set documentation is arranged convergent instruction by convergent instruction.
