  • Modifying search result ranking based on corpus search statistics
    Patent number: 8756220
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for ranking search results of a search query using corpus search statistics. In one aspect, a method includes determining a first relevance of a first corpus to a search query, determining a second relevance of a second corpus to the search query, determining a measure of relative relevance of the first corpus and the second corpus to the search query, and providing the measure of relative relevance to a ranking engine for ranking of search results for a new search corresponding to the search query.

  • Mixed concurrent and serial logic simulation of hardware designs
    Patent number: 8738350
    Abstract: A method of simulating a design described in HDL is provided. In this method, modules of the design can be partitioned into first modules for simulation by a serial simulation engine and second modules for simulation by a concurrent simulation engine. The first and second modules can be prioritized for simulation based on classes of events consistent with an execution model of the HDL. Simulations of the serial and concurrent simulation engines can be synchronized for each class of events. Synchronizing can include transferring updated interface variable values, which are shared by the second modules and at least a subset of the first modules, between the serial simulation engine and the concurrent simulation engine. This transferring can include translating representations of the updated interface variable values.

  • Concurrent simulation of hardware designs with behavioral characteristics
    Patent number: 8156457
    Abstract: Simulating hardware includes generating a data flow representation of the hardware, based on a hardware description language (HDL) description. The data flow representation including compatibility information that preserves behavioral and synthesizable characteristics of the HDL description. Simulating hardware further includes generating code from the data flow representation, and executing the code concurrently.
