  • Publication number: 20180039531
    Abstract: Techniques for performing redundant multi-threading (“RMT”) include the use of an RMT compare instruction by two program instances (“work-items”). The RMT compare instruction specifies a value from each work-item to be compared. Upon executing the RMT compare instructions, the work-items transmit the values to a hardware comparator unit. The hardware comparator unit compares the received values and performs an error action if the values do not match. The error action may include sending an error code in a return value back to the work-items that requested the comparison or emitting a trap signal. Optionally, the work-items also send addresses for comparison to the comparator unit. If the addresses and values match, then the comparator stores the value at the specified address. If either or both of the values or the addresses do not match, then the comparator performs an error action.

  • Patent number: 9888259
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of encoding a division block in video encoding and a method of decoding a division block in video decoding. An input picture is divided into encoding unit blocks. The encoding unit blocks are divided into sub-blocks. The sub-blocks are encoded by selectively using at least one of intra prediction encoding and inter prediction encoding. A decoding process is performed through a reverse process of the encoding method. When pixel values of an encoding unit block are encoded in video encoding, the flexibility in selecting an encoding mode is increased and the efficiency of encoding is increased.
