Patent number: 11973697Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for sending messages between cores across multiple field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other devices are disclosed. A uniform destination address directs a message to a core in any FPGA. Message routing within one FPGA may use a bufferless directional 2D torus Network on Chip (NOC). Message routing between FPGAs may use remote router cores coupled to the NOCs. A message from one core to another in another FPGA is routed over a NOC to a local remote router then to external remote router(s) across inter-FPGA links or networks to the remote router of the second FPGA and across a second NOC to the destination core. Messages may also be multicast to multiple cores across FPGAs. A segmented directional torus NOC is also disclosed. The insertion of shortcut routers into directional torus rings achieves shorter ring segments, reducing message delivery latency and increasing NOC bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Gray Research LLCInventor: Jan Stephen Gray

Patent number: 11948786Abstract: A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasably secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates so that it orbits around the evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Elbit Systems of America, LLCInventors: Stephen Carroll, William J. Baney, Cooper Gray Temple, Matthew Robert Curtis

Patent number: 11677662Abstract: A configurable directional 2D router for Networks on Chips (NOCs) is disclosed. The router, which may be bufferless, is designed for implementation in programmable logic in FPGAs, and achieves theoretical lower bounds on FPGA resource consumption for various applications. The router employs an FPGA router switch design that consumes only one 6-LUT or 8-input ALM logic cell per router per bit of router link width. A NOC comprising a plurality of routers may be configured as a directional 2D torus, or in diverse ways, network sizes and topologies, data widths, routing functions, performance-energy tradeoffs, and other options. The router and NOC enable feasible FPGA implementation of large integrated systems on chips, interconnecting hundreds of client cores over high bandwidth links, including compute and accelerator cores, industry standard IP cores, DRAM/HBM/HMC channels, PCI Express channels, and 10G/25G/40G/100G/400G networks.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Gray Research LLCInventor: Jan Stephen Gray
