Patents by Inventor William Zand

William Zand has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11886910
    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for dynamic prioritization of interconnect traffic in a system-on-chip are described. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes first circuitry to use a first weight value to weight operating system priority information to generate a first weighted priority value, second circuitry to use a second weight value to weight system-on-chip (SoC) hardware priority information to generate a second weighted priority value, third circuitry to sum the first weighted priority value and the second weighted priority value to generate a quality of service (QoS) value for an SoC interconnect transaction, and an arbiter to use the QoS value to prioritize the SoC interconnect transaction on an SoC interconnect.

  • Publication number: 20210116982
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to optimize a guard band of a hardware resource. An example apparatus includes at least one storage device, and at least one processor to execute instructions to identify a phase of a workload based on an output from a machine-learning model, the phase based on a utilization of one or more hardware resources, and based on the phase, control a guard band of a first hardware resource of the one or more hardware resources.
