  • Patent number: 12265830
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to techniques for powering compute platforms in low temperature environments. Embodiments include a preheating stage that is added to a power up sequence. The preheating stage may include a force-on stage and a force-offstage. During the force-on stage, all power rails of target components are forced to an ON state so that the target components consume current. When a target operating temperature is reached, the power rails of the target components are turned off, which causes the target components to revert back to their initial (pre-boot) state allowing the normal boot process to take place. Since the target components are now heated up, the boot process can execute faster than when the target components were cold. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 12235674
    Abstract: Method for time synchronization in a network between at least one master and at least one slave, which is an interrupt-capable network component and uses a timer, which accesses a slave time to generate at least one interrupt recurring at a predefined cycle duration, at a respective trigger point in time that is synchronized with the slave time. When a synchronization message arrives, a time offset between the master time and the slave time is determined in the slave, and a time fraction is determined from the time offset, which corresponds to an integer multiple of the predefined cycle duration of the at least one interrupt. An interrupt offset is then determined from the time fraction and the time offset. At least one time jump is carried out by a synchronization unit in the slave to correct the time offset.

  • Patent number: 12236501
    Abstract: The present invention relates to latency compensation for image processing devices. In order to assign overlay data to frames of a raw image stream (210), past frames within a selection of frames of the raw image stream are considered, which past frames already underwent image processing. A current frame of the raw image stream (210) is compared to the past frames contained in the selection of frames, and that one of the past frames is identified that is most similar to the current frame. Overlay data from the identified past frame are chosen and assigned to the current frame. Thus, the current frame can be presented together with the assigned overlay data chosen from the most similar past frame and without the need to wait for the result of a computationally expensive and time-consuming image processing of the current frame.

  • Patent number: 12228994
    Abstract: A system and method are described herein for estimating power usage of various components of a CPU and controlling voltage regulators based on the estimated power usage. The power estimates may be based on digital power meter readings at each component, on voltage information from a voltage regulator, and on other power information. This power information is transmitted over a mesh interconnect disposed throughout the CPU such that power estimation can be accurately calculated and used to control voltage regulators without being limited by external bus speeds. More of the power management processes and components may be disposed on the CPU and connected to the mesh interconnect. These power management processes include various calibrations, adjustments, and limits so as efficiently manage and use the more rapidly processed power estimations.

  • Patent number: 12228961
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a memory system that generates a multiplied timing signal from a reference timing signal. During operation, the system receives a reference timing signal. Next, the system produces a multiplied timing signal from the reference timing signal by generating a burst comprising multiple timing events for each timing event in the reference timing signal, wherein consecutive timing events in each burst of timing events are separated by a bit time. Then, as the reference clock frequency changes, the interval between bursts of timing events changes while the bit time remains substantially constant.
