Patents by Inventor Oreste Villa

Oreste Villa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11625279
    Abstract: In general, an application executes on a compute unit, such as a central processing unit (CPU) or graphics processing unit (GPU), to perform some function(s). In some circumstances, improved performance of an application, such as a graphics application, may be provided by executing the application across multiple compute units. However, when using multiple compute units in this manner, synchronization must be provided between the compute units. Synchronization, including the sharing of the data, is typically accomplished through memory. While a shared memory may cause bottlenecks, employing local memory for each compute unit may itself require synchronization (coherence) which can be costly in terms of resources, delay, etc. The present disclosure provides read-write page replication for multiple compute units that avoids the traditional challenges associated with coherence.

  • Patent number: 10990587
    Abstract: A system and method of storing and analyzing information is disclosed. The system includes a compiler layer to convert user queries to data parallel executable code. The system further includes a library of multithreaded algorithms, processes, and data structures. The system also includes a multithreaded runtime library for implementing compiled code at runtime. The executable code is dynamically loaded on computing elements and contains calls to the library of multithreaded algorithms, processes, and data structures and the multithreaded runtime library.
