摘要:
A computer-implemented method of caching data in a managed runtime computing environment can include loading source data and comparing content of the source data with at least one of a plurality of cache entries. Each cache entry can include a representation of previously received source data and a transformation of the previously received source data. A transformation for the source data from a cache entry can be selected or a transformation for the source data can be generated according to the comparison. The transformation for the source data can be output.

Disclosure is made of approaches for mapping an electronic design specification to an implementation. In one approach, quality metrics are associated with functional units of the design, and the functional units are mapped to respective initial implementations. For each functional unit a respective quality indicator is determined based on the mapping. The quality indicator specifies a degree to which the functional unit achieves the associated quality metric. At least one of the functional units is selected for remapping based on the quality indicator of that functional unit or the quality indicator of another functional unit. An alternative implementation to the initial implementation is selected for each selected functional unit to improve the quality indicator. The selected functional unit is remapped to the selected alternative implementation.

Method and apparatus for designing a system for implementation in a programmable logic device (PLD) is described. In one example, a program language description of the system is captured. The program language description includes control code for configuring actor elements with functions to perform tasks in response to input data. A hardware implementation is generated for the PLD from the program language description by mapping the control code to decision logic, the functions to partial configuration streams, and the actor elements to reconfigurable slots.

Automatic queue sizing for data flow applications for an integrated circuit is described. Queue sizes for queues of a dataflow network are initialized to a set of first sizes for running as distributed actors without having to have centralized control. If it is determined there is a deadlock, causes for the dataflow network being deadlocked are analyzed with a controller coupled thereto to select a first actor thereof. The first actor of the dataflow network is selected as being in a stalled write phase state. Queue size is incremented for at least one queue of the queues to unlock the first actor from the stalled write phase state. The running, the determining, the analyzing, and the incrementing are iteratively repeated to provide a second set of sizes for the queue sizes sufficient to reduce likelihood of deadlock of the data flow network.

An asynchronous communication network in an integrated circuit is described. The asynchronous communication network comprises a plurality of circuit elements enabling the transmission of tokens, each circuit element having a component interface comprising: a routing network coupled to a first adjacent circuit element of the plurality of circuit elements; and a control circuit coupled to the routing network, the control circuit having a first input coupled to receive a first command requesting a detection of a token received at a second input of the control circuit, and a first acknowledgement output coupling a first acknowledgement signal indicating whether the first command is received at the first input. Methods of enabling asynchronous communication in an integrated circuit are also disclosed.

Systems and methods detect a communication received at receiving antennas from transmitting antennas. Each transmitting antenna transmits a symbol in a constellation. A sphere detector performs a depth-first search until the depth-first search terminates in response to a terminate signal requesting the result from the sphere detector. The depth-first search evaluates respective distances of one or mode leaf nodes in response to the communication received at the receiving antennas. The depth-first search selects the result from these nodes in response to the respective distances. The result includes a selected leaf node that identifies a corresponding symbol in the constellation for each transmitting antenna, with this symbol detected as transmitted by the transmitting antenna.
摘要:
Configuration memory cells in an integrated circuit (IC) may be corrupted by cosmic radiation and other sources, causing improper operation of the IC. Reliability of an IC is improved by refreshing subsets, such as frames, of the configuration data according to a schedule that has one subset being refreshed more frequently than another subset. For each subset of the configuration data, a respective indicator is determined that indicates whether a subset of configuration memory of the IC requires refreshing with the subset of configuration data. The indicator may be a probability that corruption of the subset of configuration memory results in improper operation. A schedule for refreshing the subsets of configuration memory is generated from the indicators. The subsets of configuration memory are refreshed according to the schedule, with one subset being refreshed more frequently than another subset.
