Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for a scalable configurable chip architecture. The system includes a first cluster and a second cluster multi-chip modules, and a data network coupling the first cluster to the second cluster. Each multi-chip module in the first cluster of multi-chip modules comprising a first plurality of chips coupled together by a first interconnect, each chip of the first plurality of chips configured to facilitate processing of at least one function of a first set of functions of an autonomous vehicle (AV). Each multi-chip module in the second cluster of multi-chip modules comprising a second plurality of chips coupled together by a second interconnect, each chip of the second plurality of chips configured to facilitate processing of at least one function of a second set of functions of the AV.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer monitoring system and method that enable monitoring of execution of various performance core processes by one or more performance core processors in, for example, an autonomous vehicle system. Each performance core processor is integrated on a single chip or die with a corresponding monitoring core processor that monitors its performance, execution of performance core processes, etc. Each monitoring core processor is communicatively coupled to all other monitoring core processors in the peer-to-peer monitoring systems and monitors those processors. Each monitoring core processor, upon receiving a communication from another monitoring core processor may perform various actions to ensure continuity of operation of the peer-to-peer monitoring system and/or the performance core processors.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating a driving trajectory for a vehicle while the vehicle is blocked (e.g., the sensor of the vehicle have detected an object results in the vehicle being unable to move) by an object (e.g., another vehicle, bicycle, or a pedestrian) and executing the driving trajectory when the vehicle becomes unblocked. In addition, techniques are provided for updating a portion of a driving trajectory of a vehicle based on a determination that an object will cross a segment of the current driving trajectory at a later point, without recalculating the whole trajectory.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a dc-dc converter for operating at substantially fixed switching frequency, the converter including a rectifier, and a resonant inverter coupled to the rectifier, the resonant inverter including a switch and a reactive network having first, second, third and fourth energy storage elements, wherein an impedance magnitude at the output of the switch due to the reactive network has minima at dc and at a frequency near a second harmonic of the switching frequency.

Abstract: A resistance compression network substantially decreases the variation in effective resistance seen by a tuned rf inverter as loading conditions change. Circuits can include resistance compression networks and rectifiers to form rf-to-dc converters having narrow-range resistive input characteristics.
