  • Patent number: 12131155
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for speculatively vectorising program code. The apparatus includes processing circuitry for executing program code, the program code including an identified code region comprising at least a plurality of speculative vector memory access instructions. Execution of each speculative vector memory access instruction is employed to perform speculative vectorisation of a series of scalar memory access operations using a plurality of lanes of processing. Tracking storage is used to maintain, for each speculative vector memory access instruction, tracking information providing an indication of a memory address being accessed within each lane. Checking circuitry then references the tracking information during execution of the identified code region by the processing circuitry, in order to detect any inter lane memory hazard resulting from the execution of the plurality of speculative vector memory access instructions.

  • Publication number: 20240352800
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automated closed-loop control of drilling trajectory during directional drilling, which define target inclinations and/or target azimuths for a sequence of automated control loops performed over distances of measured depth during directional drilling, wherein the sequence of automated control loops transition from drilling a curve or bend in a wellbore to drilling a horizontal or lateral section or tangent section of the wellbore. In embodiments, the sequence of automated control loops can be configured to incrementally change dog leg severity of the wellbore in a pre-defined manner with the final dog leg severity being at or near zero.

  • Patent number: 10909006
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a main processor to execute a main stream of program instructions, two or more checker processors to execute respective checker streams of program instructions in parallel with each other, the checker streams corresponding to different portions of the main stream executed by the main processor, and error detection circuitry to detect an error when a mismatch is detected between an outcome of a given portion of the main stream executed on the main processor and an outcome of the corresponding checker stream executed on one of the plurality of checker processors. This approach enables high performance main processors 4 to be checked for errors with lower circuit area and power consumption overhead than a dual-core lockstep technique.

  • Patent number: 10831494
    Abstract: A main processor 4 executes a main program and has an associated cache memory 6. Event detection circuitry 12 detects events consequent upon execution of the main program and indicative of data to be used by the main processor. One or more programmable further processors 16, 18 is triggered to execute a further program by the events detected by the event detection circuitry 12. Prefetch circuitry 28 is responsive to the further program executed by the one or more programmable further processors to trigger prefetching of the data to be used by the main processor to the cache memory.
