Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes multiple interconnected driver cells enabled/disabled based on a first set of control signals. The multiple circuit cells are arranged to define a first aggregate enabled/disabled configuration exhibiting a first aggregated delay. The first aggregated delay is based on the individual enabled/disabled states of the circuit cells. Timing circuitry evaluates the first aggregate delay with respect to a circuit design constraint, and selectively generates a second set of control signals to configure the multiple circuit cells to define a second aggregate enabled/disabled configuration having a second aggregate delay different than the first aggregate delay.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manufacturing an integrated circuit chip is disclosed. The method includes selecting cell-based circuit representations to define an initial circuit design. The initial circuit design is partitioned into multiple sub-design blocks to define a partitioned design. Circuit representations of local clock sources are inserted into the partitioned design. Each local clock source is for clocking a respective sub-design block and based on a global clock source. A timing analysis is performed to estimate skew between each local clock source and the global clock source. The partitioned design is automatically modified based on the estimated skew.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device is disclosed. The IC device includes a global clock source to generate a global clock signal. Multiple local clock sources are employed in the IC device. Each local clock source provides a local clock signal for a partitioned sub-design block in the IC device. Each local clock signal is based on the global clock signal. The IC device includes a clock controller having inputs from the global clock source and the multiple local clock sources. The clock controller (1) measures skew between each local clock source and the global clock source, and (2) generates respective control signals to adjust respective phases of each local clock signal to reduce the measured skew.

Abstract: A system includes a processing device configured to execute instructions including accessing messages sent by a first user and other users. The instructions include identifying a first subset of messages that were sent by the first user and identifying a second subset of messages that are related to a first topic and were sent by the first user. The instructions include determining an authority value based on counts of the first and second subsets. The instructions include identifying a third subset of messages that resulted from the other users forwarding the second subset. The instructions include determining a power value based on a count of users that sent the third subset and computing an impact score for the first user on the first topic based on the authority and power values. The instructions include, based on the impact score, contacting the first user in relation to the first topic.

The instructions include, based on the impact score, contacting the first user in relation to the first topic.

Abstract: This patent relates to a system for identifying influential users of a social network platform. The system may access records of messages sent or received by a plurality of users. The system can determine a power of a user to reach other users based at least in part on the messages. The system can determine an authority of the user on a topic. The system can also compute an impact score that reflects both the power and the authority of the user on the topic. Such scores may be used to select users based on impact as part of social trend analysis, marketing or other functions.

Abstract: A computing system may perform a method comprising displaying, on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display of the computing system, a plurality of initial animations to a user, each of the plurality of animations being displayed in response to an identical function call, having an identical visual appearance, and being displayed to prompt an input from the user. The method may also comprise monitoring, by a processor of the computing system, the user's input to each of the plurality of animations. The method may also comprise displaying, by the GUI, a subsequent animation to the user, the subsequent animation being displayed in response to the identical function call but having a different visual appearance than the plurality of initial animations, the different visual appearance of the subsequent animation being based on the monitored inputs.

Abstract: A system for identifying influential users of a social network platform. The system may compute a score for each of multiple users. Such a score may be topic-based, leading to a more accurate identification of influential users. Such a topic-based score may indicate authority and/or impact of a user with respect to a topic. The impact may be computed based on authority combined with other factors, such as power of the user. The authority score may be simply computed, in whole or in part, directly from a tweet log without, for example creating a retweet graph. As a result, the scores may be computed, using MapReduce primitives or other constructs that allow the computations to be distributed across multiple parallel processors. Such scores may be used to select users based on impact as part of social trend analysis, marketing or other functions.
