  • Patent number: 9311085
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling low power and high performance loads is herein described. Software, such as a compiler, is utilized to identify producer loads, consumer reuse loads, and consumer forwarded loads. Based on the identification by software, hardware is able to direct performance of the load directly to a load value buffer, a store buffer, or a data cache. As a result, accesses to cache are reduced, through direct loading from load and store buffers, without sacrificing load performance.

  • Publication number: 20160092504
    Abstract: A user performs a gesture with a hand-held or wearable device capable of sensing its own orientation. Orientation data, in the form of a sequence of rotation vectors, is collected throughout the duration of the gesture. To construct a trace representing the shape of the gesture and the direction of device motion, the orientation data is processed by a robotic chain model with four or fewer degrees of freedom, simulating a set of joints moved by the user to perform the gesture (e.g., a shoulder and an elbow). To classify the gesture, a trace is compared to contents of a training database including many different users' versions of the gesture and analyzed by a learning module such as support vector machine.

  • Patent number: 8301970
    Abstract: Sequential circuits with error-detection are provided. They may, for example, be used to replace traditional master-slave flip-flops, e.g., in critical path circuits to detect and initiate correction of late transitions at the input of the sequential. In some embodiments, such sequentials may comprise a transition detector with a time borrowing latch.

  • Patent number: 8245111
    Abstract: A processor may comprise a cache, which may be divided into a first and second section while the processor operates in a low-power mode. A cache line of the first section may be fragmented into segments. A first encoder may generate first data bits and check bits while encoding a first portion of a data stream and a second encoder may, separately, generate second data bits and check bits while encoding a second portion of the data stream. The first data bits may be stored in a first segment of the first section and the check bits in a first portion of the second section that is associated with the first segment. The first decoder may correct errors in multiple bit positions within the first data bits using the check bits stored in the first portion and the second decoder may, separately, decode the second data bits using the second set of check bits.

  • Patent number: 8125246
    Abstract: Two latches store the state of a data signal at a transition of a clock signal. Comparison logic compares the outputs of the two latches and produces a signal to indicate whether the outputs are equal or unequal. Systems using the latches and comparison logic are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7653850
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide sampling of a data signal output from a path stage using a latch, sampling of the data signal output from the path stage using an edge-triggered flip-flop, comparing a first value output by the latch with a second value output by the edge-triggered flip-flop, and generating an error signal if the first value is different from the second value.
