Publication number: 20230418555Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Indu Prathapan, Puneet Sabbarwal, Pankaj Gupta

Patent number: 11537309Abstract: In described examples, circuitry for saving and restoring a design block state includes first memories configured to receive, and store in different first memories in a first order, different portions of first data; and a second memory coupled to first memories. First memories with the most memory cells have N memory cells. First memories with fewer memory cells have M memory cells. When saving state, first data from different first memories is written in a second order to different corresponding regions of the second memory as second data. The second order repeats portions of the first data stored in sequentially first N mod M cells, determined using the first order, of corresponding first memories with fewer cells. When restoring state, second data is read from the second memory and stored, in the first order, in corresponding first memories; repeated portions are repeatedly stored in corresponding first memories with fewer cells.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Texas Instmments IncorporatedInventors: Puneet Sabbarwal, Indu Prathapan
