Publication number: 20240330140Abstract: A network device provides for configuring and adapting an observation interval and a reporting interval for a sensing device so as to conserve resources of the sensing device. The network device can store information associated with an observation interval and a reporting interval and modify the associated timing interval based on user input, an indication of life of a power source of the sensing device, data associated with a client user, for example, data received from a sensing device associated with a client user, or both. The network device can adapt the observation interval, the reporting interval, or both for any one or more sensing devices so as to conserve resources of the sensing device, for example, to conserve life of a power source of the sensing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Navneeth N. KANNAN, David GOODWIN, Cesar A. MORENO, Jay CHAMBERS, William RYAN

Patent number: 9582278Abstract: A system for generating processor hardware supports a language for significant extensions to the processor instruction set, where the designer specifies only the semantics of the new instructions and the system generates other logic. The extension language provides for the addition of processor state, including register files, and instructions that operate on that state. The language also provides for new data types to be added to the compiler to represent the state added. It allows separate specification of reference semantics and instruction implementation, and uses this to automate design verification. In addition, the system generates formatted instruction set documentation from the language specification.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2008Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Albert Ren-Rui Wang, Richard Ruddell, David William Goodwin, Earl A. Killian, Nupur Bhattacharyya, Marines Puig Medina, Walter David Lichtenstein, Pavlos Konas, Rangarajan Srinivasan, Christopher Mark Songer, Akilesh Parameswar, Dror E. Maydan, Ricardo E. Gonzalez

Patent number: 9104827Abstract: Systems and method for automatically generating a set of shared processor datapaths from the description of the behavior of one or more ISA operations is presented. The operations may include, for example, the standard operations of a processor necessary to support an application language such as C or C++ on the ISA. Such operations, for example, may represent a configurable processor ISA. The operations may also include one or more extension operations defined by one or more designers. Thus, a description of the behaviors of the various standard and/or extension operations that compose the ISA of an instance of a standard or configurable processor is used to automatically generate a set of shared processor datapaths that implement the behavior of those operations.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Darin Stamenov Petkov, David William Goodwin, Dror Eliezer Maydan
