  • Patent number: 9489338
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms implement a branch and bound algorithm using a systolic array based circuit architecture. For example, a systolic array may perform calculations associated with nodes of a tree data structure. Information associated with the nodes may be analyzed and stored by a controller. The controller may also provide data to the systolic array based on the information associated with the nodes.

  • Patent number: 9075639
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for simulating a software design that is to be implemented in a system. A co-simulation platform comprising a physical link coupling a first physical component with a models module is provided. The models module emulates one or more other physical components of the system, and such models module includes a processor model associated with an interrupt service routine (ISR) for handling an interrupt on an interrupt line of the first physical component. Via a physical link, an interrupt request from the interrupt line of the first physical component is received into the models module. In response to the received interrupt request, the ISR associated with the processor model is initiated. Prior to exiting the ISR, an interrupt line de-assert request is sent from the models module to the first physical component via the physical link.

  • Patent number: 8971251
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for performing wireless connection control are provided. For example, the method can be applied to a first electronic device, and the method may include the steps of: adding specific information into at least one packet while establishing a wireless connection between the first electronic device and a second electronic device, where the specific information indicates a channel that the first electronic device is working on; transmitting the at least one packet carrying the specific information to the second electronic device; and performing handshaking to complete the establishment of the wireless connection with respect to the second electronic device. In another example, the method can be applied to the second electronic device, and the method may include the steps of: receiving from the first electronic device the at least one packet carrying the specific information; and performing handshaking to complete the establishment of the wireless connection.
