Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described to program memory cells and verify stored values programmed into the cells. The next stage in stored memory can be moved to the current verification iteration when certain conditions are met. Verification can include counting bits that exceed a voltage value for a stage being verified to produce a bit count number and determining if the bit count number for the stage being verified meets a threshold value. If the bit count number does not meet the threshold, the verification process can continue with a current verify iteration and thereafter move to a next verify iteration. If the bit count number does meet the threshold, the process can add a next stage to the current verify iteration and thereafter move to a next verify iteration.

Abstract: Technologies for image processing based on a creation workflow for creating a type of images are provided. Both multi-stage image generation as well as multi-stage image editing of an existing image are supported. To accomplish this, one system models the sequential creation stages of the creation workflow. In the backward direction, inference networks can backward transform an image into various intermediate stages. In the forward direction, generation networks can forward transform an earlier-stage image into a later-stage image based on stage-specific operations. Advantageously, this technical solution overcomes the limitations of the single-stage generation strategy with a multi-stage framework to model different types of variation at various creation stages. Resultantly, both novices and seasoned artists can use these technologies to efficiently perform complex artwork creation or editing tasks.

The microcontroller may have a third processor that controls the flow of the memory operation and directs the first and second processors to execute the instructions. The instructions of the various processors may be updated, which provides for flexible flow, core operation control, and condition testing.
