    摘要: A reconfigurable logic array (RLA) having a logic capacity and configured to process a function having a total logic requirement that exceeds the logic capacity of the RLA. The RLA includes first and second storage regions and a plurality of programmable logic elements located between the first and second storage regions. When the function is parsed into a plurality of functional blocks, this configuration allows the RLA to process the function by sequentially processing the functional blocks in alternating directions within the RLA, using the plurality of programmable logic elements to sequentially process each of the functional blocks and using the first and second storage regions to temporarily hold the input and output for that one of the functional blocks.

    摘要: An optical transmission method. Signal transmissions between cores of an integrated circuit are performed. Each signal transmission is between two cores of a different pair of cores of the integrated circuit. Each signal transmission includes transmission of an optical signal in the visible or infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength that is specific to each different pair of cores and is a different wavelength for each different pair of cores. There is no overhead for decoding or arbitration in preforming the signal transmissions that would otherwise exist if a same wavelength for the optical signals were permitted for pairs of cores of the different pairs of cores.

    摘要: A structure and associated method of processing data on a semi-conductor device comprising an input island, a processing island, and an output island formed on the semiconductor device. The input island is adapted to accept a specified amount of data and enable a means for providing a first specified voltage for powering the processing island after accepting the specified amount of data. The processing island is adapted to receive and process the specified amount of data from the input island upon powering the processing island by the first specified voltage. The output island is adapted to be powered by a second specified voltage. The processing island is further adapted to transmit the processed data to the output island upon said powering by the second specified voltage. The first specified voltage is adapted to be disabled thereby removing power from processing island upon completion of transmission of the processed data to the output island.

    摘要: According to the preferred embodiment, a device and method for reducing power consumption by reducing unneeded node toggling is provided. The preferred embodiment reduces unneeded toggling that commonly occurs in many types of logic circuits. The preferred embodiment reduces unneeded node toggling in a circuit by holding a portion of the device at the previous output until the all the inputs have stabilized to their final value during each clock cycle. This reduces power consumption in the device that would normally occur due to unnecessary node toggling.

    摘要: An integrated circuit such as an ASIC device having partitioned functional units with independent threshold voltage control. A first partition is always operated in a normal mode, while subsequent partitions are maintained in a standby mode until a transition is detected at the input of the first partition. The subsequent partitions are switched to the normal mode by lowering the body voltage applied to the devices with each partition. A pulse stretcher is used to keep a partition in a normal mode for a predetermined period of time after the transition is detected.

    摘要: A solution for retaining a logic state of a processor pipeline architecture are disclosed. A comparator is positioned between two stages of the processor pipeline architecture. A storage capacitor is coupled between a storage node of the comparator and a ground to store an output of the early one of the two stages. A reference logic is provided, which has the same value as the output of the early stage. A logic storing and dividing device is coupled between the reference logic and a reference node of the comparator to generate a logic at the reference node, which is a fraction of the reference logic, and to retain a logic state of the information stored on the storage capacitor. Further mechanisms are provided to determine validity of data stored in the logic storing and dividing device.
