Publication number: 20240112443Abstract: A max-flow/min-cut solution algorithm for early terminating a push-relabel algorithm is provided. The max-flow/min-cut solution algorithm is used for an application that does not require an exact maximum flow, and includes: defining an early termination condition of the push-relabel algorithm by a separation condition and a stable condition; determining that the separation condition is satisfied if there is no source node s, s?S, in the set T at any time in an operation process of the push-relabel algorithm; determining that the stable condition is satisfied if there is no active node in the set T; and terminating the push-relabel algorithm if both the separation condition and the stability condition are satisfied. The early termination technique is proposed to greatly reduce redundant computations and ensure that the algorithm terminates correctly in all cases.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: SHANGHAITECH UNIVERSITYInventors: Xinzhe LIU, Guangyao YAN, Yajun HA

Patent number: 11934459Abstract: A ripple push method for a graph cut includes: obtaining an excess flow ef(v) of a current node v; traversing four edges connecting the current node v in top, bottom, left and right directions, and determining whether each of the four edges is a pushable edge; calculating, according to different weight functions, a maximum push value of each of the four edges by efw=ef(v)*W, where W denotes a weight function; and traversing the four edges, recording a pushable flow of each of the four edges, and pushing out a calculated flow. The ripple push method explores different push weight functions, and significantly improves the actual parallelism of the push-relabel algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SHANGHAITECH UNIVERSITYInventors: Guangyao Yan, Xinzhe Liu, Yajun Ha, Hui Wang

Publication number: 20230179315Abstract: Example embodiments relate to methods for disseminating scaling information and applications thereof in very large scale integration (VLSI) implementations of fixed-point fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). One embodiment includes a method for disseminating scaling information in a system. The system includes a linear decomposable transformation process and an inverse process of the linear decomposable transformation process. The inverse process of the linear decomposable transformation process is defined, in time or space, as an inverse linear decomposable transformation process. The linear decomposable transformation process is separated from the inverse linear decomposable transformation process. The linear decomposable transformation process or the inverse linear decomposable transformation process is able to be performed first and is defined as a linear decomposable transformation I. The other remaining process is performed subsequently and is defined as a linear decomposable transformation II.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Xinzhe Liu, Raees Kizhakkumkara Muhamad, Dessislava Nikolova, Yajun Ha, Francky Catthoor, Fupeng Chen, Peter Schelkens, David Blinder
