摘要:
The present invention relates to a circuit for sorting a set of data values, the circuit comprising a first set of p+q registers for storing the p+q largest data values of the set of data values including p statistical outliers; a second set of p+q registers for storing the p+q smallest data values of the set of data values including p statistical outliers, wherein p is a non-negative integer and q is a positive integer; a controller coupled to each register in said first and second sets, said controller being arranged to: receive the set of data values and for each data value obtain a comparison result of the data value with the respective data values in each of said registers; and update said registers as a function of said comparison results; the circuit further comprising a data processing circuit coupled to at least the q registers in said first and second sets, which for instance may be used to produce an average value of the data values stored in said q registers in response to the controller. The present invention further relates to a sorting method using such a circuit.

摘要:
A method of determining a best-case response time of a first periodic task, the method comprising a first step based upon Rate Monotonic Analysis of determining the priorities of the tasks that have to be scheduled on a system. In order to determine whether the set of tasks can be scheduled on the system, the best-vase response time in addition to the worst-case response time is determined per task. This best-case response time is substantially equal to the difference between the start of a task with a lower priority and the completion of this low priority task, the start being right after the release of the low priority task and the completion coinciding with the simultaneous release all higher priority tasks.

The present invention discloses an integrated circuit arrangement (100) comprising a data communication network comprising a plurality of connections (300), a plurality of modules (110) coupled to the data communication network via at least one network interface (120), the network interface comprising a plurality of buffers; a remote service module (150) being coupled to the data communication network via a further network interface (140), wherein each of said modules (110) is arranged to provide its network interface (120) with a service request (200) for the remote service module (150), said network interface being arranged to extend said service request with a first identifier (204) for establishing a network connection (300) with a remote service module (150); and a circuit portion (350) comprising a plurality of buffers (142) between the at least one network interface (120) and the remote service module (150) for storing service requests (200) from the plurality of modules (110), said circuit portion comprising decoding logic (144) for selecting one of said buffers (142) by decoding a further identifier (210) embedded in the service request (200).
摘要:
A resource controller that includes a first buffer configured to store requests of a first predefined category having a first priority. In addition, the resource controller includes at least a second buffer configured to store requests of a second predefined category having a second priority where the first priority is set such that processing requests of the first category has priority over processing the requests of the second category. Also, the resource controller includes a mechanism configured to block the requests of the first category when a predefined condition is met.
