Publication number: 20230305844Abstract: Various techniques for accelerating dynamic programming algorithms are provided. For example, a fused addition and comparison instruction, a three-operand comparison instruction, and a two-operand comparison instruction are used to accelerate a Needleman-Wunsch algorithm that determines an optimized global alignment of subsequences over two entire sequences. In another example, the fused addition and comparison instruction is used in an innermost loop of a Floyd-Warshall algorithm to reduce the number of instructions required to determine shortest paths between pairs of vertices in a graph. In another example, a two-way single instruction multiple data (SIMD) floating point variant of the three-operand comparison instruction is used to reduce the number of instructions required to determine the median of an array of floating point values.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Maciej Piotr TYRLIK, Ajay Sudarshan TIRUMALA, Shirish GADRE, Frank Joseph EATON, Daniel Alan STIFFLER

Patent number: 10778852Abstract: A Toll-Free Management Platform (TFMP) includes methods and systems for number administration, customer administration, call management services, texting services and text registry, and a smart services registry. The TFMP may allow users to receive through a web-based interface, an activate request from a user, wherein the request includes at least a customer record template reference and an indication of when to active a toll-free telecommunications number associated with the request. The request may include at least one IP address datum associated with the toll-free telecommunications number. A user interface may allow activating a toll-free number, and users may access the TFMP to create and access existing templates of toll-free call routing templates, and utilize a routing tree engine to create customized call routing trees for the toll-free numbers of interest to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Somos, Inc.Inventors: Sriram Sharma, William Carter, Manisha Bhat, Pamela J.
