  • Publication number: 20220415050
    Abstract: A Media Analytics Co-optimizer (MAC) engine that utilizes available motion and scene information to increase the activation sparsity in artificial intelligence (AI) visual media applications. In an example, the MAC engine receives video frames and associated video characteristics determined by a video decoder and reformats the video frames by applying a threshold level of motion to the video frames and zeroing out areas that fall below the threshold level of motion. In some examples, the MAC engine further receives scene information from an optical flow engine or event processing engine and reformats further based thereon. The reformatted video frames are consumed by the first stage of AI inference.

  • Publication number: 20220405096
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for reuse of FMA execution unit hardware logic to provide native support for execution of get exponent, get mantissa, and/or scale instructions within a GPU. These new instructions may be used to implement branch-free emulation algorithms for mathematical functions and analytic functions (e.g., transcendental functions) by detecting and handling various special case inputs within a pre-processing stage of the FMA execution unit, which allows the main dataflow of the FMA execution unit to be bypassed for such special cases. Since special cases are handled by the FMA execution unit, library functions emulating various functions, including, but not limited to logarithm, exponential, and division operations may be implemented with significantly fewer lines of machine-level code, thereby providing improved performance for HPC applications.

    Abstract: A hardware and/or software (e.g., a controller and/or firmware or software) that monitors a remaining capacity of a battery and adjusts a continuum of system performance settings ranging from best performance to best energy efficiency. The controller starts with best performance setting (at the expense of energy efficiency), and then the controller gradually shifts toward energy efficiency setting (at the expense of performance) when a battery usage exceeds a pre-defined drain rate (e.g., there is a deficit in the battery remaining capacity until the next charge). The controller reverts from energy efficiency setting towards high performance setting when the battery drain rate or discharge rate slows down (e.g., there is a surplus in the battery remaining capacity until the next charge).

  • Publication number: 20220399893
    Abstract: A single-phase clocked data multiplexer (MUX-D) scan capable flipflop (FF) design that improves over existing transmission-gate (t-gate) based master-slave flipflops in terms of dynamic capacitance (Cdyn) as well as performance while remaining comparable in area. Unique features of the design are a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (non-t-gate) style structure with an improvement in circuit parameters achieved by eliminating clock inversions and maximally sharing NMOS devices across NAND structures. The core of the flipflop adopts an all CMOS NAND, And-OR-Inverter (AOI) complex logic structure to implement a true edge-triggered flip-flop functionality.
