Patents by Inventor Richard Douglas Trauben

Richard Douglas Trauben 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: 11934308
    Abstract: Techniques for data manipulation using processor cluster address generation are disclosed. One or more processor clusters capable of executing software-initiated work requests are accessed. A plurality of dimensions from a tensor is flattened into a single dimension. A work request address field is parsed, where the address field contains unique address space descriptors for each of the plurality of dimensions, along with a common address space descriptor. A direct memory access (DMA) engine coupled to the one or more processor clusters is configured. Addresses are generated based on the unique address space descriptors and the common address space descriptor. The plurality of dimensions can be summed to generate a single address. Memory is accessed using two or more of the addresses that were generated. The addresses are used to enable DMA access.

  • Patent number: 10997102
    Abstract: Techniques for data manipulation using processor cluster address generation are disclosed. One or more processor clusters capable of executing software-initiated work requests are accessed. A direct memory access (DMA) engine, coupled to the one or more processor clusters, is configured, wherein the DMA engine employs address generation across a plurality of tensor dimensions. A work request address field is parsed, where the address field contains unique address space descriptors for each of the plurality of dimensions, along with a common address space descriptor. DMA addresses are generated based on the unique address space descriptors and the common address space descriptor. Memory using two or more of the DMA addresses that were generated is accessed, where the two or more DMA addresses enable processing within the one or more processor clusters.
