Abstract: An accelerator for bitonic sorting includes a plurality of compare-exchange circuits and a first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer associated with each of the compare-exchange circuits. An output of each FIFO buffer is a FIFO value. The compare-exchange circuits are configured to, in a first mode, store a previous value from a previous compare-exchange circuit or a memory to its associated FIFO buffer and pass a FIFO value from its associated FIFO buffer to a subsequent compare-exchange circuit or the memory; in a second mode, compare the previous value to the FIFO value, store the greater value to its associated FIFO buffer, and pass the lesser value to the subsequent compare-exchange circuit or the memory; and in a third mode, compare the previous value to the FIFO value, store the lesser value to its associated FIFO buffer, and pass the greater value to the subsequent compare-exchange circuit or the memory.

Abstract: A method for distributed processing involves receiving a graph (G) of targets and of influencers, with each influencer related to at least one target, receiving an action graph of actions performed by one or more of the influencers, and key partitioning G across shards. The method further involves transposing the first graph (G) to obtain a first transposed graph (GT), valuing partitioning GT across the shards, storing the action graph on multiple shards, issuing, to a shard, a request specifying an influencer, to perform an intersection, receiving a response to the request of a set of influencers each of which is related to a target, and determining whether to send a recommendation to the target based on the response.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a circuit. The circuit includes an IFFT (inverse fast fourier transform) block. The IFFT block generates a modulated signal in response to a data signal. A clip logic block is coupled to the IFFT block, and generates a clipped signal in response to the modulated signal. A first subtractor is coupled to the clip logic block and the IFFT block, and subtracts the modulated signal from the clipped signal to generate an error signal. A cyclic filter is coupled to the first subtractor, and filters the error signal to generate a filtered error signal. A second subtractor is coupled to the cyclic filter and the IFFT block. The second subtractor subtracts the filtered error signal from the modulated signal to generate a processed signal.
