  • Publication number: 20150138065
    Abstract: A head mounted integrated interface (HMII) is presented that may include a wearable head-mounted display unit supporting two compact high resolution screens for outputting a right eye and left eye image in support of the stereoscopic viewing, wireless communication circuits, three-dimensional positioning and motion sensors, and a processing system which is capable of independent software processing and/or processing streamed output from a remote server. The HMII may also include a graphics processing unit capable of also functioning as a general parallel processing system and cameras positioned to track hand gestures. The HMII may function as an independent computing system or as an interface to remote computer systems, external GPU clusters, or subscription computational services, The HMII is also capable linking and streaming to a remote display such as a large screen monitor.

  • Patent number: 8789006
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for testing a circuit representation. A command line input is received at a command line interface. The command line input is translated into one or more test conditions. Additionally, a test environment configured to simulate the circuit representation and verify the one or more test conditions is generated.

  • Publication number: 20080071926
    Abstract: A novel network architecture that integrates the functions of an internet protocol (IP) router into a network processing unit (NPU) that resides in a host computer's chipset such that the host computer's resources are perceived as separate network appliances. The NPU appears logically separate from the host computer even though, in one embodiment, it is sharing the same chip.

  • Publication number: 20070005329
    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and generating integrated circuits using a high-level language are described. The high-level language is used to generate performance models, functional models, synthesizable register transfer level code defining the integrated circuit, and verification environments. The high-level language may be used to generate templates for custom computation logical units for specific user-determined functionality. The high-level language and compiler permit optimizations for power savings and custom circuit layout, resulting in integrated circuits with improved performance per watt of power consumption.
