  • Publication number: 20240152486
    Abstract: A representative reconfigurable processing circuit and a reconfigurable arithmetic circuit are disclosed, each of which may include input reordering queues; a multiplier shifter and combiner network coupled to the input reordering queues; an accumulator circuit; and a control logic circuit, along with a processor and various interconnection networks. A representative reconfigurable arithmetic circuit has a plurality of operating modes, such as floating point and integer arithmetic modes, logical manipulation modes, Boolean logic, shift, rotate, conditional operations, and format conversion, and is configurable for a wide variety of multiplication modes. Dedicated routing connecting multiplier adder trees allows multiple reconfigurable arithmetic circuits to be reconfigurably combined, in pair or quad configurations, for larger adders, complex multiplies and general sum of products use, for example.

  • Patent number: 7991800
    Abstract: The present invention involves a computer system and method which implements a marketing management system. The computer comprises a processor, at least one database containing marketing information, and a database segmentation manager the segmentation manager is coupled to the processor and database. The database segmentation manager includes a node organizer for maintaining concatenated nodes defining a subset of data from the database. The node organizer includes a dataset node for creating a subset of said database according to query criteria and creating a temp table storing a portion of the fields and rows obtained by the query criteria. The segmentation manager further includes universe display software enabling an external user to view the database and nodes. The computer further has a graphic workflow manager capable of providing a visual representation with a plurality of items from the database and having a place and an order of a plurality of work tasks relating to the database.
