Abstract: A pattern matching component is provided. The pattern matching component utilizes a plurality of processors to efficiently identify and retrieve information from a plurality of data sources. In some examples, the pattern matching component concurrently executes multiple portions of a data access plan, such as a query execution plan, using a plurality of processors disposed within a multi-core processor. The pattern matching component may concurrently execute multiple portions of the data access plan using a plurality of processors in a distributed system. Concurrent execution of at least some of the operations required to identify and retrieve the information results in increased efficiency over conventional query execution methods.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for digital circuit testing in which latches store a single command for each assigned node in a circuit to be tested. Buffers are used to drive the nodes of the circuit being tested in accordance with the drive commands. The outputs from the circuit being tested are selectively applied to at least one comparator. A multiplexor reduces the number of comparators required for accessing the all pertinent nodes of the digital circuit being tested.

Abstract: A floating point arithmetic system with rounding anticipation including an arithmetic unit for arithmetically combining two mantissas; a carry circuit for determining whether the sum will overflow upon the addition of two mantissas and whether the difference will have a leading zero upon the subtraction of two mantissas; the subtrahend in subtraction and the augend in addition include guard, round, and sticky digits; a rounding circuit is responsive to the carry circuit for rounding the least significant digit of the sum when the sum will overflow and for designating for rounding the guard digit of the sum when the sum will not overflow, for designating for rounding the round digit of the difference when the difference will have a leading zero, and for designating for rounding the guard digit of the difference when the difference will not have a leading zero; and means for introducing to the arithmetic unit at the designated digit during the arithmetic combining of the two mantissas an amount equal to one-hal
