Abstract: A microprocessor system comprises a computational array and a hardware data formatter. The computational array includes a plurality of computation units that each operates on a corresponding value addressed from memory. The values operated by the computation units are synchronously provided together to the computational array as a group of values to be processed in parallel. The hardware data formatter is configured to gather the group of values, wherein the group of values includes a first subset of values located consecutively in memory and a second subset of values located consecutively in memory. The first subset of values is not required to be located consecutively in the memory from the second subset of values.

Abstract: A microprocessor system comprises a matrix computational unit and a control unit. The matrix computational unit includes a plurality of processing elements. The control unit is configured to provide a matrix processor instruction to the matrix computational unit. The matrix processor instruction specifies a floating-point operand formatted using a first floating-point representation format. The matrix computational unit accumulates an intermediate result value calculated using the floating-point operand. The intermediate result value is in a second floating-point representation format.

Abstract: The present invention relates to network security systems and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for maintaining a TCP connection when the payload data of a TCP segment transmitted from source to destination is modified. The present invention allows the payload data of a TCP segment to be modified and, specifically, changed in length by an intermediate device during a TCP connection between any two hosts while adhering to the semantics of the TCP protocol so that the TCP connection may be maintained.

Abstract: A memory cell and a method for manufacturing the memory cell. The memory cell is constructed so that it has a ratio of a dimension in the direction of the bit lines to a dimension in the direction of the word line of less than one. The bit lines are formed from the first metallization system of the memory cell, which is the metallization system nearest the surface of the substrate and the silicide regions of the memory cell. The word line is formed from a metallization system above the first metallization system. Thus, the bit lines are positioned vertically between the substrate surface and the word line.
