  • Intersection Testing in a Ray Tracing System Using Three-Dimensional Axis-Aligned Box
    Publication number: 20250218105
    Abstract: Methods and intersection testing modules are provided for determining, in a ray tracing system, whether a ray intersects a 3D axis-aligned box representing a volume defined by a front-facing plane and a back-facing plane for each dimension. The front-facing plane of the box which intersects the ray furthest along the ray is identified. It is determined whether the ray intersects the identified front-facing plane at a position that is no further along the ray than positions at which the ray intersects the back-facing planes in a subset of the dimensions, and this determination is used to determine whether the ray intersects the axis-aligned box. The subset of dimensions comprises the two dimensions for which the front-facing plane was not identified, but does not comprise the dimension for which the front-facing plane was identified.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing a power state wherein a temperature-based voltage regulation is disabled. In an embodiment, a load circuit receives one or more clock signals, and one or more supply voltages. Power management logic facilitates either one of a first power state and a second power state, each for providing power to the load circuit. The first power state enables each clock signal provided to the load circuitry, and further comprises an enabled state of a functionality to perform inverse temperature dependency voltage regulation. The second power state disables each clock signal provided to the load circuitry, and further comprises a disabled state of the functionality. In another embodiment, during the second power state, each voltage supply provided to the load circuit is regulated in a respective voltage range which enables at least some state of the load circuit to be maintained.

  • XML INTERPRETER
    Publication number: 20250217227
    Abstract: A system implements an interpreter for extensible markup language (XML) to validate XML produced by large language models (LLMs). The system uses an LLM to generate a first set of XML instructions to perform a first task in an environment communicatively coupled to the system. The system executes the first set of XML instructions and observes a result of the execution. Based on the observed result, the system either uses the LLM to generate a second set of XML instructions to perform a second task, or detects an error in the first set of XML instructions. When an error is detected, the system uses the LLM to modify the first set of XML instructions to correct the error.
