  • Patent number: 11928512
    Abstract: A reconfigurable data processor comprises an array of configurable units configurable to allocate a plurality of sets of configurable units in the array to implement respective execution fragments of the data processing operation. Quiesce logic is coupled to configurable units in the array, configurable to respond to a quiesce control signal to quiesce the sets of configurable units in the array on quiesce boundaries of the respective execution fragments, and to forward quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments when the corresponding sets of processing units are ready. An array quiesce controller distributes the quiesce control signal to configurable units in the array, and receives quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments from the quiesce logic.

  • Patent number: 11928445
    Abstract: A complier produces a configuration file to configure a fracturable data path of a configurable unit in a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor to concurrently generate different address sequences generated using different address associated with different operations. The fracturable data path includes multiple computation stages respectively including a pipeline register. The compiler analyzes a first address calculation and a second address calculation and assigns a first set of stages to the first operation to generate the first address sequence and a second set of stages to the second operation to generate the second address sequence using the second set of stages, based on the analysis. A configuration file for the configurable unit is generated by the compiler that assigns the first set of stages to the first operation and the second set of stages to the second operation and includes two or more immediate values for each computation stage.

  • Publication number: 20230388249
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer-readable media for controlling and managing the identification and provisioning of resources within an on-demand center as well as the transfer of workload to the provisioned resources. One aspect involves creating a virtual private cluster within the on-demand center for the particular workload from a local environment. A method of managing resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment includes detecting an event associated with a local compute environment and based on the detected event, identifying information about the local environment, establishing communication with an on-demand compute environment and transmitting the information about the local environment to the on-demand compute environment, provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment to substantially duplicate the local environment and transferring workload from the local-environment to the on-demand compute environment.

  • Publication number: 20230367845
    Abstract: A method comprises executing (K+P) number of transposition cycles to generate a transpose-extended matrix having N rows and (K+P) columns, in which columns 1 to K comprise a transposition of a first matrix having K rows and N columns, and columns (K+1) to (K+P) comprise constants or elements of an N×1 matrix. The method includes computing a sum-product of a row of a second matrix, having M rows and N columns, multiplied by a column among columns 1 to K of the transpose-extended matrix; and, computing a second sum-product of the row of the second matrix multiplied by a column among columns (K+1) to (K+P) of the transpose-extended matrix. The sum-products can comprise gradients of input matrices. A transpose processing unit can execute the transposition cycles to read K rows of the first matrix and insert P number of constant or N×1 columns to generate the transpose-extended matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230367844
    Abstract: A computing method comprises generating an integrated matrix having (K+P) number of columns, columns 1 through K of the integrated matrix comprising columns 1 through K of a multiplicand matrix and columns (K+1) though P of the integrated matrix comprising addend columns. The method computes K number of products of elements of a row of the integrated matrix multiplied by elements of a column of a second multiplicand matrix; computes a (K+1) product comprising an element of an addend column multiplied by a constant; and, computes a sum of the K number of products added to the (K+1) product. The sum is equivalent to a sum of products of a column of the M×K matrix multiplied by a row of the K×N matrix added to the an element of an addend column of the integrated matrix. A computing system and a computer program product can implement the method.

    Abstract: A system and method of reserving resources in a compute environment are disclosed. The method embodiment comprises receiving a request for resources within a computer environment, determining at least one completion time associated with at least one resource type required by the request, and reserving resources within the computer environment based on the determine of at least the completion time. A scaled wall clock time on a per resource basis may also be used to determine what resources to reserve. The system may determine whether to perform a start time analysis or a completion time analysis or a hybrid analysis in the process of generating a co-allocation map between a first type of resource and a second type of resource in preparation for reserving resources according to the generated co-allocation map.
