  • Patent number: 10228923
    Abstract: A parallelization compiling method for generating a segmented program from a sequential program, in which multiple macro tasks are included and at least two of the macro tasks have a data dependency relationship with one another, includes determining an existence of invalidation information for invalidating at least a part of the data dependency relationship between the at least two of the plurality of macro tasks before compiling the sequential program into the segmented program, and generating the segmented program by compiling the sequential program into the segmented program with reference to a determination result of the existence of the invalidation information. When the invalidation information is determined to exist, the at least a part of the data dependency relationship is invalidated before the compiling of the sequential program into the segmented program.

  • Patent number: 9416868
    Abstract: A shift-by-wire controller is applied to a shift-by-wire system which switches a shift range of an automatic transmission by a driving force of a motor, and drives the motor according to an input signal. The shift-by-wire controller includes a position sensor, a position acquirement portion acquiring a switching edge corresponding to a position where the shift range is switched from the position sensor, an encoder detecting a rotational position of the motor, a determining portion determining whether the rotational position can be acquired as a present-position from the encoder, and a position determination portion. When the determining portion determines that the present-position cannot be acquired, the position determination portion drives the motor to switch the shift range, and determines a position of the motor based on the switching edge.
