  • Patent number: 8458635
    Abstract: A convolution of the kernel over a layout in a multi-core processor system includes identifying a sector, called a dynamic band, of the layout including a plurality of evaluation points. Layout data specifying the sector of the layout is loaded in shared memory, which is shared by a plurality of processor cores. A convolution operation of the kernel and the evaluation points in the sector is executed. The convolution operation includes iteratively loading parts of the basis data set, called a stride, into space available in shared memory given the size of the layout data specifying the sector. A plurality of threads is executed concurrently using the layout data for the sector and the currently loaded part of the basis data set. The iteration for the loading basis data set proceeds through the entire data set until the convolution operation is completed.

  • Patent number: 6785369
    Abstract: A system and method for playing back data segments stored in one or more locations and managed by one or more playback servers. In a preferred embodiment the system and method receive data describing data segments to be played back; transmit notifications to the playback servers to prepare for playback; and transmit playback requests to the playback servers. The system and method are also capable of playing back the segments in a specified order and such that gaps between the segments are minimized. Additionally, a graphical display can be provided to display the status of the segments being played back.

  • Patent number: 6785370
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a telephone switching environment. In a preferred embodiment the system and method construct a call record for each telephone call; receive data regarding telephony events; match a received telephony event with a call record; update the matching call record based on the received telephony event data; and combine the updated call record with data indicating the location of recorded audio data for the segment of the call, to generate a master call record representing the lifetime of the telephone call. Additionally, the system and method are capable of assembling and playing back segments of telephone calls using the recorder locations described in the master call record for each telephone call, and of using the master call record to display a graphical representation of the telephone call.

  • Patent number: 5955646
    Abstract: Chimeric regulatory regions and gene cassettes based upon Agrobacterium tumefaciens opine sythase genes are provided for expressing foreign genes in plants. Various upstream activating sequences from opine synthase genes like the mannopine synthase and the octopine synthase genes are operably linked with promoters (or promoters plus activating sequences), both of which are then operably linked to the foreign gene. These regions and cassettes permit expression levels and patterns that could not be obtained previously.
