Abstract: The present disclosure discloses method and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of an autonomous vehicle for determining safe navigation. The ECU determines current location of vehicle based on orientation and location information of vehicle. One or more pre-defined vehicle parameters and surrounding infrastructure data is determined. Traffic density at current route of vehicle is determined based on surrounding infrastructure data and current location of vehicle. The ECU predicts traffic density at one or more alternate routes for predefined time and distance from current location of vehicle, based on traffic information received from surrounding infrastructure data for one or more alternate routes. Thereafter, route is selected based on one or more pre-defined vehicle parameters, traffic density at current route and traffic density at one or more alternate routes for safely navigating vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing the latency of data move operations. A register rename unit within a processor determines whether a decoded move instruction qualifies for a zero cycle move operation. If so, control logic assigns a physical register identifier associated with a source operand of the move instruction to the destination operand of the move instruction. Additionally, the register rename unit marks the given move instruction to prevent it from proceeding in the processor pipeline. Further maintenance of the particular physical register identifier may be done by the register rename unit during commit of the given move instruction.

Abstract: Developability of a drug candidate is decided based on the Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of the drug candidate under investigation. The approaches known as of date do not always guarantee good initial estimates of all the PK-PD parameters of interest. In the present invention, a computer based solution based on hybrid modified league championship algorithm (HMLCA) is described to produce robust and optimal parameter values PK/PD parameters with minimal human intervention. Embodiments of the present disclosure generate optimized set of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameter values by a) performing crossover technique that result in better formation and b) addition and removal of good and poor solutions respectively after a time interval to avoid unnecessary computation.

Abstract: A processor includes a mechanism for disabling a memory array of a branch prediction unit. The processor may include a next fetch prediction unit that may include a number of entries. Each entry may correspond to a next instruction fetch group and may store an indication of whether or not the corresponding the next fetch group includes a conditional branch instruction. In response to an indication that the next fetch group does not include a conditional branch instruction, the fetch prediction unit may be configured to disable, in a next instruction execution cycle, the memory array of the branch prediction unit.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently replacing clients running a large scale application uses a pool of clients, which includes a group of active clients running the large scale application and at least one standby client. When a particular active client is identified to be replaced, one of the at least one standby client is selected as a replacement client for the particular active client. The particular active client is replaced with the selected replacement client with respect to the running of the large scale application such that the particular client is removed from the group of active clients and the selected replacement client is added to the group of active clients.
