摘要: An accelerator system is implemented on an expansion card comprising a printed circuit board having (a) one or more graphics processing units (GPU), (b) two or more associated memory banks (logically or physically partitioned), (c) a specialized controller, and (d) a local bus providing signal coupling compatible with the PCI industry standards (this includes but is not limited to PCI-Express, PCI-X, USB 2.0, or functionally similar technologies). The controller handles most of the primitive operations needed to set up and control GPU computation. As a result, the computer's central processing unit (CPU) is freed from this function and is dedicated to other tasks. In this case a few controls (simulation start and stop signals from the CPU and the simulation completion signal back to CPU), GPU programs and input/output data are the information exchanged between CPU and the expansion card. Moreover, since on every time step of the simulation the results from the previous time step are used but not changed, the results are preferably transferred back to CPU in parallel with the computation.

摘要: A method for inventory management includes deploying a first mobile drive unit having first dimensions and deploying a second mobile drive unit having second dimensions, the first and second dimensions being different. The first and second mobile drive units are operable to transport inventory items to a plurality of inventory stations in the same workspace.
