Publication number: 20170255730Abstract: A simulation system that includes a simulation accelerator that uses parallel processing to accelerate the simulation of register transfer level codes (RTLs) while minimizing memory access latency is disclosed. The accelerator has an array of parallel computing resources. The simulation accelerator receives compiled RTLs in which the components of the design are mapped to instructions. The instructions are divided into groups, in which instructions belonging to a same group are logically independent of each other. The simulation accelerator fetches instructions and data for processing by the parallel computing resources for one group of instructions at a time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2017Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: VIVIAN CHOU, JULIEN LAMOUREUX, SHERMAN LEE

Patent number: 8310880Abstract: A controller uses N dedicated ports to receive N signals from N non-volatile memories independent of each other, and uses a bus in a time shared manner to transfer data to and from the N non-volatile memories. The controller receives from a processor, multiple operations to perform data transfers, and stores the operations along with a valid bit set active by the processor. When a signal from a non-volatile memory is active indicating its readiness and when a corresponding operation has a valid bit active, the controller starts performance of the operation. When the readiness signal becomes inactive, the controller internally suspends the operation and starts performing another operation on another non-volatile memory whose readiness signal is active and for which an operation is valid. A suspended operation may be resumed any time after the corresponding readiness signal becomes active and on operation completion the valid bit is set inactive.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: 248 Solid State, Inc.Inventors: Reinhard Kuehne, Vivian Chou

Patent number: 8207880Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiving integrated circuit services voice communications in a WLAN with at least one other wireless device and includes a WLAN interface, a transcoder, and a switch box. The WLAN interface wirelessly communicates with at least one wireless device to receive inbound packetized audio data from the at least one wireless device and to transmit outbound packetized audio data to the at least one wireless device. The transcoder receives the inbound packetized audio data and converts the inbound packetized audio data to inbound Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) WLAN audio data. The WLAN interface also receives outbound PCM WLAN audio data and converts the outbound PCM WLAN audio data to the outbound packetized audio data. The switch box operably couples between the transcoder and a PCM bus, to which an audio COder/DECoder (CODEC) couples. A speaker and a microphone coupled to the audio CODEC.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Charles T. Aragones, Sherman Lee, Vivian Chou
