Publication number: 20230334285Abstract: A method for memory storage including storing a neural network by storing values of the neural network each as a reference to a representative value; and, in some embodiments, storing additional values of the neural network. Each of the representative values can be generated by assigning each of the values of the neural network to a cluster; and for each cluster, selecting a centroid from the cluster. The method can include performing one or more multiply-accumulate operations A1B1+ . . . +AnBn on input vectors A and input vectors B, by accumulating input vectors A to an accumulated sum of input vectors A per input vector B having the same representative value and subsequently multiplying each of the accumulated sums of input vectors A by the representative value of the input vector B. A system is also described, and a method for configuring memory according to a data structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Andreas Moshovos, Ali Hadi Zadeh, Isak Edo Vivancos, Omar Mohamed Awad

Publication number: 20230297337Abstract: A system and method for accelerating multiply-accumulate (MAC) floating-point units during training of deep learning networks. The method including: receiving a first input data stream A and a second input data stream B; adding exponents of the first data stream A and the second data stream B in pairs to produce product exponents; determining a maximum exponent using a comparator; determining a number of bits by which each significand in the second data stream has to be shifted prior to accumulation by adding product exponent deltas to the corresponding term in the first data stream and using an adder tree to reduce the operands in the second data stream into a single partial sum; adding the partial sum to a corresponding aligned value using the maximum exponent to determine accumulated values; and outputting the accumulated values.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Omar MOHAMED AWAD, Mostafa MAHMOUD, Andreas MOSHOVOS

Patent number: 10341882Abstract: A mobile communication device has a processor, a radio, a near field communication (NFC) device, a battery, and memory for storing data. The power level of the battery is measured. When the measured power level is above a first predetermined level, power is provided to the radio to allow communication. Sufficient power is provided to operate the NFC device as a reader and a tag. When the measured power level of the battery falls below the first predetermined level, battery power to the radio is shut off. Sufficient power is maintained to the NFC device to allow it to operate only as a tag. Sufficient power is maintained to the memory to retain the data stored in the memory. When the measured power level of the battery falls below a second predetermined level, the NFC device is required to harvest all of its power from the field.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Steven Deane Hall, Mohamed Awad, Theodore Trost

Patent number: 9473214Abstract: Apparatus for harvesting and using power in a near field communications mode, includes a host device with operating components. A first near field communication (NFC) device is contained in the host device and is configured to be selectively coupled to one of the operating components. The first NFC device harvests energy from a second NFC device and converts the harvested energy to electrical power. The first NFC device receives information from the second NFC device and power on the operating component as a function of the information received from the second NFC device. The first NFC device transfers data to or from the operating component when the operating component is powered on. The first NFC device powers off the operating component when the transfer of data between the first NFC device and the operating component has been completed.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventor: Mohamed Awad
