Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to the design of the functional units of a processor core, and more specifically, to adding logical operations of a first functional unit of a processor core to a second functional unit of the processor core. In an aspect, a processor core includes a first functional unit configured to provide first functionality, wherein the first functional unit includes circuitry configured to perform a first set of logical operations, a second functional unit configured to provide second functionality different from the first functionality, wherein the second functional unit includes circuitry configured to perform a subset of logical operations of the first set of logical operations, and a data bus connecting the first functional unit and the second functional unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for macro-operation fusion. In an aspect, a method for macro-operation fusion comprises detecting that a plurality of macro-operations involving a first register is a fusible set of macro-operations comprising a first macro-operation to perform an arithmetic operation using a second register and a second macro-operation to perform the arithmetic operation using an immediate value, wherein the arithmetic operation is addition or subtraction. The method also comprises decoding the fusible set to one micro-operation that performs functions of the fusible set, and executing the one micro-operation that performs the functions of the fusible set. In some aspects, the detection, decoding, and executing steps may be performed by an instruction fetch unit, a decoder unit, and an execution unit, respectively, of a processor. In some aspects, the instruction fetch unit routes the fusible set of macro-operations to the same decoder unit from a plurality of available decoder units.

Abstract: A compute node capable of enhanced performance and/or energy savings is proposed. The proposed compute node may check whether a last instruction of a first group-retrieved in a first decode cycle—is potentially a fusible instruction. If so, the proposed compute node may refrain from decoding the last instruction in the first decode cycle. Instead, the proposed compute node may determine if a first instruction of a second group of instructions retrieved in a second decode cycle (subsequent to the first decode cycle) is fusible with the last instruction of the first group. If so, the two instructions may be fused to a single micro-operation.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a safety area for a vehicle are discussed herein. In some cases, a first safety area can be based on a vehicle travelling through an environment and a second safety area can be based on a steering control or a velocity of the vehicle. A width of the safety areas can be updated based on a position of a bounding box associated with the vehicle. The position can be based on the vehicle traversing along a trajectory. Sensor data can be filtered based on the sensor data falling within the safety area(s).

Abstract: In some examples, a first device includes multiple fixed first cameras and a movable second camera. A processor is configured to receive, from at least one of the fixed first cameras, a plurality of first images of an airspace corresponding to an area of operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and detect, based at least on the first images, a candidate object approaching or within the airspace. Based on detecting the candidate object, the processor controls a movable second camera to direct a field of view of the movable second camera toward the candidate object. Based on one or more second images from the movable second camera captured at a first location and one or more third images from a third camera captured at a second location, the processor may determine that the candidate object is an object of interest and perform at least one action.

Abstract: Techniques for estimating a ground profile, including a ground height (e.g., elevation) and ground roll, for an environment associated with a vehicle are described herein. Sensor data associated with a vehicle may be used to determine sensor data points associated with a path of the vehicle. Based on an upper bound slope and lower bound slope, such as a maximum and/or minimum rate of ground roll change, a region (e.g., search window) may be determined. Based on the region, a subset of sensor data points included in the region may be determined. The subset of sensor data points may be used to determine a representative height and representative roll. In some instances, the representative height and representative roll may be determined using a Hough transform and the subset of sensor data points. A ground profile may be determined based on the representative height and representative roll.

Abstract: Aspects disclosed include hardware micro-fused memory (e.g., load and store) operations. In one aspect, a hardware micro-fused memory operation is a single atomic memory operation performed using a plurality of data register operands, for example a load pair or store pair operation. The load pair or store pair operation is treated as two separate operations for purposes of renaming, but is scheduled as a single micro-operation having two data register operands. The load or store pair operation is then performed atomically.

Abstract: Inaccurate sensor data, such as by caused by reflections, may skew ground profile estimations that identify a profile or plane associated with a surface, such as a roadway. Correcting a ground profile that was based on inaccurate sensor data may include determining a location at which a slope of the ground profile meets or exceeds a maximum slope, determining a line associated with the location and having a slope of a magnitude equal to the maximum slope, and using the line to determine a subset of sensor data points that lies outside a region defined by the line. The subset of sensor data points that lies outside the region may be excluded from the set of sensor data points used to generate ground profile(s) and a new ground profile may be determined using the set of sensor data points, less the subset of sensor data points.

Abstract: Techniques for estimating a ground profile for an environment associated with a vehicle are described herein. Sensor data associated with a vehicle may be used to determine sensor data points associated with a path of the vehicle. Using a first metric and a second metric, such as a maximum slope and minimum slope based on the position of the vehicle and/or a previously-determined ground point, a region (e.g., search window) may be determined, and based on the region, a subset of sensor data points included in the region. The subset of sensor data points may be used to determine a ground point. In some instances, the ground point may be determined based on an average height of the sensor data points. A ground profile may be determined that at least partially includes the ground point.
