  • Patent number: 11983120
    Abstract: Compressing memory addresses within an execution trace via reference to a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) entry. A microprocessor identifies a TLB entry within a TLB slot, the TLB entry mapping a virtual memory page to a physical memory page. The microprocessor initiates logging of the TLB entry by initiating logging of at least a virtual address of the virtual memory page, and an identifier that uniquely identifies the TLB entry from among a plurality of live TLB entries. Subsequently, the microprocessor identifies a cache entry within a memory cache slot, the cache entry comprising a physical memory address corresponding to a cache line. The microprocessor initiates logging of the cache entry by matching a physical memory page identification portion of the physical memory address with the TLB entry, and then initiates logging of at least the identifier for the TLB entry and an offset portion.

  • Patent number: 11977167
    Abstract: An improved, efficient method for mapping world points from an environment (e.g., points generated by a LIDAR sensor of an autonomous vehicle) to locations (e.g., pixels) within rolling-shutter images taken of the environment is provided. This improved method allows for accurate localization of the world point in a rolling-shutter image via an iterative process that converges in very few iterations. The method poses the localization process as an iterative process for determining the time, within the rolling-shutter exposure period of the image, at which the world point was imaged by the camera. The method reduces the number of times the world point is projected into the normalized space of the camera image, often converging in three or fewer iterations.
