  • Patent number: 11907830
    Abstract: Hardware for implementing a Deep Neural Network (DNN) having a convolution layer. A plurality of convolution engines each perform a convolution operation by applying a filter to a data window. Each of the plurality of convolution engines includes multiplication logic that combines a weight of a filter with a respective data value of a data window; control logic that receives configuration information identifying a set of filters for operation on a set of data windows at the plurality of convolution engines; determines a sequence of convolution operations for evaluation at the multiplication logic; requests weights and data values for at least partially applying a filter to a data window; and causes the multiplication logic to combine the weights with their respective data values. Accumulation logic accumulates the results of a plurality of combinations performed by the multiplication logic to form an output for a convolution operation of the determined sequence.

  • Patent number: 11894155
    Abstract: A nuclear reactor is designed to couple the load path of control elements with the reactor core, thus reducing opportunity for differential movement between the control elements and the reactor core. A core barrel can be fabricated in a manufacturing facility to include the reactor core, control element supports, and control element drive system. The core barrel can be mounted to a reactor vessel head. Movement, such as through seismic forces, transmits an equal direction and magnitude to the control elements and the reactor core, thus inhibiting the opportunity for differential movement.
