    Abstract: A method comprising: dividing a 3D space into a voxel grid comprising a plurality of voxels; associating a plurality of distance values with the plurality of voxels, each distance value based on a distance to a boundary of an object; selecting an approximate interpolation mode for stepping a ray through a first one or more voxels of the 3D space responsive to the first one or more voxels having distance values greater than a threshold; and detecting the ray reaching a second one or more voxels having distance values less than the first threshold; and responsively selecting a precise interpolation mode for stepping the ray through the second one or more voxels.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are semiconductor device arrays, such as, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Arrays (CPLAs) that use high-density Spin Transfer Torque (STT)-based memory elements. STT-based memory elements can either be stand-alone FPGAs/CPLAs, or can be embedded in microprocessors and/or digital signal processing (DSP) system-on-chip (SoC) to provide design flexibility for implementing low power, scalable, secure and reconfigurable hardware architecture. Because the configuration is stored on the FPGA/CPLA die itself, the need for loading the configuration from external storage every time is eliminated when the device is powered on. In addition to instant startup, eliminating configuration I/O traffic results in power savings and possible pin count reduction. Security is greatly improved by eliminating the need to store configuration data in an external memory.

    Abstract translation: 这里公开了使用基于高密度旋转转矩(STT)的存储器元件的半导体器件阵列,诸如现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)和复数可编程逻辑阵列(CPLAs)。 基于STT的存储器元件可以是独立的FPGA / CPLAs,或者可以嵌入在微处理器和/或数字信号处理(DSP)片上系统(SoC)中,以提供设计灵活性,以实现低功率,可扩展,安全 和可重构硬件架构。 由于配置存储在FPGA / CPLA裸片本身,所以每次在外部存储器上加载配置的需求都将在设备通电时被消除。 除了即时启动,消除配置I / O流量导致节电和可能的引脚数减少。 通过消除将配置数据存储在外部存储器中的需要,安全性大大提高。

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for changing a consistency with which a cell circuit (“cell”) settles into a given state. In one embodiment, a cell settles into a preferred state based on a relative polarity between respective voltages of a first rail and a second rail. Based on the preferred state, a hot carrier injection (HCI) stress is applied to change a likelihood of the cell settling into the preferred state. Applying the HCI stress includes driving off-currents of two PMOS transistors of the cell while the relative polarity is reversed. In another embodiment, a cell array comprises multiple cells which are each classified as being a respective one of a physically unclonable function (PUF) type or a random number generator (RNG) type. A cell is selected for biasing, and a stress is applied, based on each of: that cell's preferred state, that cell's classification, and another cell's classification.
