The size of the set of chain candidates is reduced utilizing an angle filter. Each remaining chain candidate of the reduced set of chain candidates is ranked and the chain candidate having a best ranking is selected as the best candidate chain. The first navigational map data set is updated utilizing attributes from the best candidate chain.

  • Computer architecture allowing recycling of instruction slack time
    Patent number: 10831232
    Abstract: A computer architecture suitable for out-of-order processors manages the problem of timing slack, in which an instruction completes before its clock cycle, by recycling that slack to allow the next succeeding instruction allowing that instruction to begin execution earlier. This recycling mechanism is enabled through the use of a transparent gating between execution units which allows data transfer before clock cycle boundaries and, in some cases, by aggressively issuing children instructions contemporaneously with their parent instruction after a grandparent instruction is issued.
