  • Patent number: 11662381
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a phase rotator, that is located at a built-in self-test (BIST) path of a receiver, receiving a clock signal from an on-chip clock. The phase rotator shifts the phases of the clock signal. The phase rotator transmits the shifted clock signal to a binary sequence generator, that is located at the receiver. The binary sequence generator outputs a binary sequence, where the binary sequence generator is driven by the shifted clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20230139036
    Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

  • Publication number: 20230120934
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating network messages on a parallel processor are disclosed. A system includes at least a parallel processor, a general purpose processor, and a network interface unit. The parallel processor includes at least a plurality of compute units, a command processor, and a cache. A thread within a kernel executing on a compute unit of the parallel processor generates a network message and stores the network message and a corresponding indication in the cache. In response to detecting the indication of the network message in the cache, the command processor processes and conveys the network message to the network interface unit without involving the general purpose processor.
