Abstract: Arithmetic circuits calculate d?1 energy values (hi2 to hid) indicating energies generated by 2-body to d-body coupling on the basis of a plurality of weight values indicating strength of 2-body to d-body coupling of 2 to d neurons including a first neuron whose output value is allowed to be updated and n-bit output values of n neurons. An adder circuit calculates a sum of these values, and a comparator circuit compares a value based on a sum of the sum and a noise value with a threshold, to determine the output value of the first neuron. An update circuit outputs n-bit updated output values in which one bit has been updated on the basis of a selection signal and the output value of the first neuron. The holding circuit holds the updated output values and outputs the updated output values as the n-bit output values used by the arithmetic circuits.

Abstract: A communication apparatus internally generates a virtual terminal (emulator) of a mobile terminal. The virtual terminal performs handover to a 3G network in place of the mobile terminal. In the event of an incoming call to the mobile terminal, the virtual terminal receives the call in place of the mobile terminal and notifies the mobile terminal of the call. Consequently, without having to perform handover, the mobile terminal is able to receive communication notification, whereby telephone communication by the mobile terminal remains enabled without the expenditure of power for handover, enabling a reduction in power consumption.

Abstract: A method includes: each time a target block to be simulated among blocks produced by dividing a program of a target processor to be simulated changes from one to another among the blocks, generating and storing in a memory, association information that associates an internal state of the target processor with a performance value of each instruction of the target block, and an execution code of the target processor to which program included in the target block is converted; executing the execution code using the association information associated with the internal state to calculate the performance value of the target block; deleting the execution code and the association information of a block to be deleted from among the plurality of blocks produced by dividing the program of the target processor based on a probability of execution in response to a branch in a preceding block in execution from the memory.

Abstract: A code converter 11 of a simulation apparatus 1 detects, during the execution of a program in a target CPU, an externally dependent instruction affected by the external environment in each of divided blocks, predicts the execution result of the externally dependent instruction, simulates the instruction execution in the predicted result, and generates a host code in which a code for performance simulation is embedded based on the simulation result. A simulation executor 12 performs performance simulation about instruction execution in the prediction result of the program using the host code, and when the execution result of the externally dependent instruction is different from the setting of the prediction result during the execution, corrects the execution time of the instruction in the prediction result using the execution time of instructions executed before and after the instruction, and the like. A simulation information collector 13 collects and outputs performance simulation information.

Abstract: An operation of a processor with out-of-order execution is simulated by a computer configured to access a storage unit storing a specific internal state of the processor. A program executed by the processor is divided into a plurality of blocks. When a target block on which an operation simulation is to be performed is changed from a first block to a second block in the plurality of blocks, the computer determines whether the second block is a block that performs a process according to an exception that has occurred in the first block. When it is determined that the second block is a block that performs the process according to the exception, the computer performs the operation simulation of the second block after changing an internal state of the processor in the operation simulation to the specific internal state stored in the storage unit.
