Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a service at an incident scene is provided herein. During operation, a device will enter a geographic area (e.g., an incident scene), join a local-area network (LAN), and determine what services are presently being offered by other devices on the LAN. From a list of services deployed on the device, a determination is then made as to what services the device will run, and those services are then offered to all devices on the LAN.

Abstract: A video tagging method, a video analytics method, and a Computer Assisted Dispatch (CAD) system use incident reports for video tagging and searching. A CAD system is integrated with field-based video surveillance systems to aid in searching video content and subsequent tagging of the video content. The systems and methods can include extracting keywords from a CAD incident report and creating a small, focused, and incident-specific dictionary on which to perform video searching in real-time. The small, focused, and incident-specific dictionary increases tagging accuracy and reduces tagging processing time in the context of video analytics. Further, a multi-pass approach in real-time continually updates and disseminates to video cameras of interest the small, focused, and incident-specific dictionary as the CAD incident report is updated and as the incident of interest plays out.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the elimination of prolog and epilog instructions in a vector processor. To eliminate the prolog, a functional unit of the vector processor has at least one input for receiving an input data value tagged with a data validity tag and an output for outputting an intermediate result tagged with a data validity tag. The data validity tags indicate the validity of the data. Before a loop is executed, the data validity tags are set to indicate that the associated data values are invalid. During execution of the loop body a functional unit checks the validity of input data. If all of the input data values are valid the functional operation is performed, the corresponding data validity tag set to indicate that the result is valid. If any of the input data values is invalid, the data validity tag of the result is set to indicate that the result is invalid. To eliminate the epilog, an iteration counter is associated with each sink unit of the vector processor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for power reduction in a processor controlled by multiple-instruction control words. A multiple-instruction control word comprises a number of ordered fields, with each ordered field containing an instruction for an element of the processor. The sequence of instructions for a loop is compressed by identifying a set of aligned fields that contain NOP instructions in all of the control words of the sequence. The sequence of control words is then modified by removing the fields of the identified aligned set containing NOP instructions and adding an identifier that identifies the set of fields removed. The sequence of control words is processed by fetching the identifier at the start the loop, then, for each control word in the sequence, fetching a control word and reconstructing the corresponding uncompressed control word by inserting NOP instructions into the compressed control word as indicated by the identifier.

Abstract: Various load and store instructions may be used to transfer multiple vector elements between registers in a register file and memory. A cnt parameter may be used to indicate a total number of elements to be transferred to or from memory, and an rcnt parameter may be used to indicate a maximum number of vector elements that may be transferred to or from a single register within a register file. Also, the instructions may use a variety of different addressing modes. The memory element size may be specified independently from the register element size such that source and destination sizes may differ within an instruction. With some instructions, a vector stream may be initiated and conditionally enqueued or dequeued. Truncation or rounding fields may be provided such that source data elements may be truncated or rounded when transferred. Also, source data elements may be sign- or unsigned-extended when transferred.

Abstract: A cache for storing data elements is disclosed. The cache includes a cache memory having one or more lines and one or more cache line counters, each associated with a line of the cache memory. In operation, a cache line counter of the one or more of cache line counters is incremented when a request is received to prefetch a data element into the cache memory and is decremented when the data element is consumed. Optionally, one or more reference queues may be used to store the locations of data elements in the cache memory. In one embodiment, data cannot be evicted from cache lines unless the associated cache line counters indicate that the prefetched data has been consumed.

Abstract: A re-configurable, streaming vector processor (100) is provided which includes a number of function units (102), each having one or more inputs for receiving data values and an output for providing a data value, a re-configurable interconnection switch (104) and a micro-sequencer (118). The re-configurable interconnection switch (104) includes one or more links, each link operable to couple an output of a function unit (102) to an input of a function unit (102) as directed by the micro-sequencer (118). The vector processor may also include one or more input-stream units (122) for retrieving data from memory. Each input-stream unit is directed by a host processor and has a defined interface (116) to the host processor. The vector processor also includes one or more output-stream units (124) for writing data to memory or to the host processor. The defined interface of the input-stream and output-stream units forms a first part of the programming model.

Abstract: A method for scheduling a computation for execution on a computer with a number of interconnected functional units. The computation is representable by a data-flow graph with a number of nodes connected by edge. A loop-period of the computation is calculated and the nodes are scheduled for throughput by assigning an execution cycle and a functional unit to each node of the data-flow graph. The scheduling of flexible nodes is adjusted to minimize the number of interconnections required in each execution cycle. The edges of the data-flow graph are allocated to one or more of the interconnections between functional units. The scheduling method may be used, for example, to optimize the interconnection fabric design for an ASIC or as part of a compiler for a re-configurable streaming vector processor.
