  • Patent number: 11070231
    Abstract: A method of reducing the storage requirements of blockchain metadata via dictionary-style compression includes receiving a request to add a transaction block to a blockchain. The method further includes determining an identifier (ID) of a dictionary block most recently stored on the blockchain. The method further includes compressing, by a processing device, one or more transactions of the transaction block based on the dictionary block to generate a compressed transaction block. The method further includes adding the ID of the dictionary block to the compressed transaction block. The method further includes providing the compressed transaction block, including the ID of the dictionary block, for storage on the blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20070247648
    Abstract: A system and method for tetrahedral interpolation computations using data-level parallelism that takes advantage of data-level parallelism in media processors. If the tetrahedron points in a 3D lookup table are packed together in a memory, the interpolation computation can be implemented without extra instructions to unpack them. An algebraic manipulation of the interpolation equation allows computing the difference on the fraction coefficients instead of the tetrahedron node values. Not only will this technique preserve the full precision without over or underflow, but the packed data from the 3D lookup can be used directly, thereby allowing a faster implementation of the color space transformation overall and implementing as part of a direct-copy image path on a media processor. Such a system and method allows the implementation of the direct copy pipeline to function at the required performance rate as requested by a customer specification while obtaining the required product design speed.
