  • Publication number: 20210247797
    Abstract: A system for clock management in an m columns×n rows array-based accelerators. Each row of the array may include a clock domain that clocks runtime clock cycles for the m processing elements. The clock domain includes a data detection and timing control circuit which is coupled to a common clock phase bus which provides a local clock source in multiple selectable phases, wherein the data detection and timing control circuit is configured to select a clock phase to clock a next clock cycle for a next concurrent data processing by the m processing elements. Each of m processing elements is coupled to access data from a first memory and a second memory and to generate respective outputs from each of the m processing elements to a corresponding m processing element of a same column in a subsequent neighboring row for the next processing in the next clock cycle.

  • Publication number: 20210077042
    Abstract: A method for controlling the movement of an X-ray source via a suspension device includes obtaining, during a movement of the suspension device along the rail, a first speed of the suspension device at the first reference point. The first reference point may correspond to a first target position. The method may also include determining whether the first speed of the suspension device at the first reference point is less than a threshold speed. In response to a result of the determination that the first speed of the suspension device at the first reference point is less than the threshold speed, the method may further include actuating a control device to move the suspension device to the first target position.

  • Patent number: 10705589
    Abstract: A system includes an ARM core processor, a programmable regulator, a compiler, and a control unit, where the compiler uses a performance association outcome to generate a 2-bit regulator control values encoded into each individual instruction. The system can provide associative low power operation where instructions govern the operation of on-chip regulators or clock generator in real time. Based on explicit association between long delay instruction patterns and hardware performance, an instruction based power management scheme with energy models are formulated for deriving the energy efficiency of the associative operation. An integrated voltage regulator or clock generator is dynamically controlled based on instructions existing in the current pipeline stages leading to additional power saving. A compiler optimization strategy can further improve the energy efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10230388
    Abstract: Time domain signal processing (TDSP) encodes information into time rather than voltage with high efficiency. Circuit level design techniques can also reduce the area and energy consumption of TDSP. Design examples on both conventional signal processing blocks and emerging facial recognition applications can be used to demonstrate the potential of the techniques. On a 45 nm CMOS technology, more than about 45% area and energy reduction can be simultaneously achieved from TDSP compared with standard CMOS techniques in emerging applications.
