  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE VIA HARDWARE-ASSISTED TOURNAMENT
    Publication number: 20220198261
    Abstract: A system and method for providing for adoption of solvers for solving at least one task is disclosed. The system and method include a controller, solvers capable of solving the at least one task, and at least one memory. The controller admits ones of the solvers into a competition for solving the at least one task, provides, via the at least one memory, an input of the task to the admitted solvers, provides, via the at least one memory, intermediate results of execution by the admitted solvers that are provided the input, receives a prediction of the next intermediate result from the admitted solvers predicting from at least one of the provided input and received intermediate results, and ranks the at least one of the admitted solvers for solving the task based on at least one of the next intermediate results, the provided input and received intermediate results.

  • Power management through power gating portions of an idle processor
    Patent number: 9696790
    Abstract: Processor power may be managed by executing state storage and power gating instructions after receiving an idle indication. The idle indication may be received while the processor is executing instructions in a first mode, and the processor may execute the state storage and power gating instructions in a second mode. The state storage and power gating instructions may be inaccessible to the processor when operating in the first mode.
