Patent number: 11423313Abstract: Methods and systems for performing hardware approximation of function are provided. In one example, a system comprises a controller, configurable arithmetic circuits, and a mapping table. The mapping table stores a first set of function parameters in a first mode of operation and stores a second set of function parameters in a second mode of operation. Depending on the mode of operation, the controller may configure the arithmetic circuits to compute a first approximation result of a function at an input value based on the first set of function parameters, or to compute a second approximation result of the function at the input value based on the second set of function parameters and to perform post-processing, such as quantization, of the second approximation result.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ron Diamant, Sundeep Amirineni, Mohammad El-Shabani, Kenneth Wayne Patton, Thomas Elmer

Patent number: 10942742Abstract: A reconfigurable processing circuit and system are provided. The system allows a user to program machine-level instructions in order to reconfigure the way the circuit behaves, including by adding new operations. The system can include a profile access content-addressable memory (CAM) configured to receive an execution step value from a step counter. The execution step value can be incremented and/or reset by a step management logic. The profile access CAM can select an entry of a profile table based on an opcode and the execution step value, and the processing engine can execute microcode based on the selected entry of the profile table. The profile access CAM can translate the opcode to an internal short instruction identifier in order to select the entry of the profile table. The system can further include an instruction decoding module configured to merge multiple instruction fields into a single effective instruction field.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ron Diamant, Sundeep Amirineni, Mohammad El-Shabani, Sagar Sonar, Kenneth Wayne Patton

Publication number: 20160032887Abstract: Three bodies interact to drive a transmission having a pair of one-way clutches coupling a single length of drive chain or other elongate flexible member to an intermeshed pair of counter rotatable gears so as to drive a primary shaft in a single rotational direction. The three bodies are a fixed body, a floating body, and a suspended and usually submerged weighted body. The three bodies are interconnected by the single length of the elongate flexible member and are spaced apart there along. The weighted body is mounted at one end of the elongate flexible member. The primary shaft is mounted above the surface of a moving fluid mass to either the fixed or floating body. The end of the flexible member opposite to the weight is mounted to the other of the fixed or floating body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2012Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventor: Roland Wayne Patton
