  • METHOD FOR TESTING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF A SOLENOID VALVE FOR TRIGGERING A SAFETY VALVE
    Publication number: 20230015389
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for testing a solenoid valve for triggering a safety valve having a single-acting fluidic drive and a positioner. The drive fluid pressure is increased by a first pressure difference. An attempt is made to switch the solenoid valve to the safety position. The drive fluid pressure is measured at a specified point in time that is selected such that the pressure in the drive fluid lowers at most by the first pressure difference. If the pressure in the drive fluid is higher than a reference pressure at the specified point in time, the functionality test of the solenoid valve is failed. The lowering of the pressure in the drive fluid is monitored over a defined period of time to make conclusions regarding the pressure generating system. The pressure does not fall below the operating pressure so the position of the valve member remains constant.

  • WRITE COMBINE BUFFER (WCB) FOR DEEP NEURAL NETWORK (DNN) ACCELERATOR
    Publication number: 20230020929
    Abstract: A compute tile includes a WCB that receives a workload of writing an output tensor of a convolution into a local memory of the compute tile. The local memory may be a SRAM. The WCB receives write transactions. A write transaction includes a data block, which is a part of the output tensor, and metadata describing one or more attributes of the data block. The WCB may store write transactions in its internal buffers. The WCB may determine whether to combine two write transactions, e.g., based on an operation mode or metadata in the write transactions. In embodiments where the WCB determines to combine the two write transactions, the WCB may combine the two write transactions into a new write transaction and write the new write transaction into the local memory or an internal memory of the WCB. The total number of write transactions for the workload can be reduced.
