摘要： A fault tolerant multi-threaded processor uses the temporal and/or spatial separation of instructions running in two or more different threads. An instruction is fetched, decoded and executed by each of two or more threads to generate a result for each of the two or more threads. These results are then compared using comparison hardware logic and if there is a mismatch between the results obtained, then an error or event is raised. The comparison is performed on an instruction by instruction basis so that errors are identified (and hence can be resolved) quickly.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for decoding instructions in a computer program wherein the instructions include one or more base instructions that are subject to modification by one or more other instructions. A decoder determines whether a first received instruction was arrived at by a non-incremental change to a program counter (i.e. a jump in the program). If the first instruction was arrived at by a non-incremental change to the program counter the decoder decodes the immediately preceding instruction to determine if the original instruction is a base instruction subject to modification by one or more other instructions. If the preceding instruction indicates that the original instruction is a base instruction an error has occurred and exception handling code is invoked.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for designing a reconfigurable fabric. The reconfigurable fabric is designed using logical elements, configurable connections between and among the logical elements, and rotating circular buffers. The circular buffers contain configuration instructions. The configuration instructions control connections between and among logical elements. The logical elements change operation based on the instructions that rotate through the circular buffers. Clusters of logical elements are interconnected by a switching fabric. Each cluster contains processing elements, storage elements, and switching elements. A circular buffer within a cluster contains multiple switching instructions to control the flow of data throughout the switching fabric. The circular buffer provides a pipelined execution of switching instructions for the implementation of multiple functions. Each cluster contains multiple processing elements, and each cluster further comprises an additional circular buffer for each processing element. Logical operations are controlled by the circular buffers.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for artificial neural network functionality within dynamic random-access memory. A plurality of dynamic random-access cells is accessed within a memory block. Data within the plurality of dynamic random-access cells is sensed using a plurality of sense amplifiers associated with the plurality of dynamic random-access cells. A plurality of select lines coupled to the plurality of sense amplifiers is activated to facilitate the sensing of the data within the plurality of dynamic random-access cells, wherein the activating is a function of inputs to a layer within a neural network, and wherein a bit within the plurality of dynamic random-access cells is sensed by a first sense amplifier and a second sense amplifier within the plurality of sense amplifiers. Resulting data is provided based on the activating wherein the resulting data is a function of weights within the neural network.

摘要： Analysis of mental state data is provided to enable video recommendations via affect. Analysis and recommendation is made for socially shared live-stream video. Video response is evaluated based on viewing and sampling various videos. Data is captured for viewers of a video, where the data includes facial information and/or physiological data. Facial and physiological information is gathered for a group of viewers. In some embodiments, demographic information is collected and used as a criterion for visualization of affect responses to videos. In some embodiments, data captured from an individual viewer or group of viewers is used to rank videos.

摘要： Audio analysis learning is performed using video data. Video data is obtained, on a first computing device, wherein the video data includes images of one or more people. Audio data is obtained, on a second computing device, which corresponds to the video data. A face is identified within the video data. A first voice, from the audio data, is associated with the face within the video data. The face within the video data is analyzed for cognitive content. Audio features are extracted corresponding to the cognitive content of the video data. The audio data is segmented to correspond to an analyzed cognitive state. An audio classifier is learned, on a third computing device, based on the analyzing of the face within the video data. Further audio data is analyzed using the audio classifier.

摘要： Embodiments disclosed pertain to apparatuses, systems, and methods for Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs) that support visualization and multi-threading. Disclosed embodiments pertain to a TLB that includes a content addressable memory (CAM) with variable page size entries and a set associative memory with fixed page size entries. The CAM may include: a first set of logically contiguous entry locations, wherein the first set comprises a plurality of subsets, and each subset comprises logically contiguous entry locations for exclusive use of a corresponding virtual processing element (VPE); and a second set of logically contiguous entry locations, distinct from the first set, where the entry locations in the second set may be shared among available VPEs. The set associative memory may comprise a third set of logically contiguous entry locations shared among the available VPEs distinct from the first and second set of entry locations.

摘要： An individual can exhibit one or more mental states when reacting to a stimulus. A camera or other monitoring device can be used to collect, on an intermittent basis, mental state data including facial data. The mental state data can be interpolated between the intermittent collecting. The facial data can be obtained from a series of images of the individual where the images are captured intermittently. A second face can be identified, and the first face and the second face can be tracked.

摘要： Disclosed are systems and methods to provide energy control via power-requirement analysis and power-source enablement. Both demand-side and supply-side techniques are used alone or in conjunction to determine an optimal number of power sources to supply power to one or more loads. When fluctuations in power requirements are present, measures such as decoupling less-critical loads in order to continue delivering power to critical systems and turning on and off power sources as needed to meet the current power demands of a system are implemented. Power sources are periodically deactivated by the system on a rotational basis such that all power sources wear evenly, prolonging the life of the equipment. A scalable architecture that allows the virtualization of power from the underlying hardware form factor is also provided.
