摘要:
To pre-charge a node to one of first and second voltage levels in response to inputs received at the corresponding voltage level, to selectively level shift the node from the first voltage level to the second voltage level when in a first voltage mode, and to maintain the node at the second voltage level when in a second voltage mode. Level shifting from first voltage level may be performed within one gate stage that may be bypassed when in the second voltage mode. The node may be discharged with no delay difference between the first and second voltage modes. Inputs may include a clock signal, which may be received at either of the first and second voltage levels without level shifting the clock signal. A circuit may be implemented with a multi-core processor system to permit selective voltage mode operation of the cores.

A content-addressable memory circuit includes a first local bit line coupled to a first memory location, a second local bit line coupled to a second memory location, a global bit line coupled to the first and second local bit lines and a global bit line accelerator coupled to the first and second local bit lines and the global bit line. The global bit line accelerator sets the second local bit line to a first logical value depending on a signal from the first local bit line. In this way, the global bit line accelerator accelerates the evaluation phase of operation of the second local bit line.

In an embodiment, an image is received having a first portion and one or more other portions. The one or more other portions are replaced with one or more other images. The replacing of the one or more portions results in an image including the first portion and the one or more other images. In an embodiment, the background of an image is replaced with another background. In an embodiment, the foreground is extracted by identifying the background based on an image of the background without any foreground. In an embodiment, the foreground is extracted by identifying portions of the image that have characteristics that are expected to be associated with the background and characteristics that are expected to be associated with foreground. In an embodiment any of the images can be still images. In an embodiment, any of the images are video images.

Mechanisms for reducing the number of block masks required for programming multiple access control lists in an associative memory are disclosed. A combined ordering of masks corresponding to multiple access control lists (ACLs) is typically identified, with the multiple ACLs including n ACLs. An n-dimensional array is generated, wherein each axis of the n-dimensional array corresponds to masks in their requisite order of a different one of the multiple ACLs. The n-dimensional array progressively identifies numbers of different masks required for subset orderings of masks required for subsets of the multiple ACLs. The n-dimensional array is traversed to identify a sequence of masks corresponding to a single ordering of masks including masks required for each of the multiple ACLs.

A device includes a number of memory cells. Each of the memory cells includes a transistor stack coupled to a bit line. A value of a charge on the bit line during an access mode represents a value of data stored in an accessed memory cell. During a non-access mode, all transistors of the transistor stack are turned off to save power. The transistors are turn off regardless of the value of the data stored in the memory cells.

A method and apparatus are described for performing complex regex pattern matching utilizing filters based on truncated Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA). For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: representing a set of reference strings as a DFA; truncating the DFA based on a truncating policy, wherein the truncated DFA does not generate a false positive match; creating a filter based on the truncated DFA; filtering an input string against the set of reference strings by running the input string through the filter.
