  • Publication number: 20230096887
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to operate a network switching device using predicated instructions that implement conditional algorithms of data packet processing are disclosed. The disclosed techniques relate to compiling source codes into objects codes for execution on target network switching devices as well as the actual execution of such compiled object codes. Compilation of a source code may include identifying conditional instructions (CIs) in the source code, which specify contingent actions to be performed by the NSD on a data packet, and compiling the identified CIs to generate corresponding sets of predicated instructions (PIs) of the object code executable by the NSD.

  • Patent number: 10644197
    Abstract: There is herein described a process for providing improved device performance and fabrication techniques for semiconductors. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for forming features, such as pixels, on GaN semiconductors using a p-GaN modification and annealing process. The process also relates to a plasma and thermal anneal process which results in a p-GaN modified layer where the annealing simultaneously enables the formation of conductive p-GaN and modified p-GaN regions that behave in an n-like manner and block vertical current flow. The process also extends to Resonant-Cavity Light Emitting Diodes (RCLEDs), pixels with a variety of sizes and electrically insulating planar layer for electrical tracks and bond pads.
