A method for efficiently transmitting bulk data over a mobile network using predetermined fillable templates may include correlating records in a database with an input field of a predetermined fillable template and a report field of a predetermined report. The template may be provided to a user by way of a downloadable and executable mobile application. The method may include receiving discrete SMS messages populated into the input fields of the template by a user of a mobile device upon which the mobile application has been installed. The method may include associating each received SMS message with a corresponding report field of the predetermined report according. The method may include populating the corresponding report field of the predetermined report with report information based on the received SMS message. The method may also include providing the predetermined report to a computing device associated with a second user.

Structures and techniques are provided for allowing one or more of the following actions to occur within a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD): (1) Elective use of a fast, allocator-bypassing path (e.g., a fast 5-PT path) in combination with in-block simple or super-allocation; (2) Elective use of an OSM-bypassing path for signals that do not need pin-consistency; (3) Automatic re-routing of output enable signals that corresponding to output signals which are re-routed for pin-consistency purposes; (4) Global distribution of globally-usable output enable signals; (5) Elective use of two-stage steering to develop complex sum-of-clusters terms where fast path or simple allocation will not be sufficient; and (6) Use of unidirectional super-allocation with stage-2 wrap-around in designs having about 24 or less macrocell units per logic block. Techniques are provided for concentrating the development of complex function signals (e.g., ≦80PTs) within singular logic blocks so that the development of such complex function signals does not consume inter-block interconnect resources. One CPLD configuring method includes the machine-implemented steps of first identifying middle-complexity functions that are achievable by combined simple or super-allocation based development in one logic block and fast-path completion in the same or a second logic block; and configuring the CPLD to realize one or more of the functions identified in the first identification step by simple or super-allocation based development in one logic block and fast-path completion in the same or a second logic block.

A programmable optimized-distribution logic allocator enhances the speed, silicon utilization, logic efficiency, logic utilization, and scalability of very high-density CPLDs including the logic allocator. The programmable optimized-distribution logic allocator provides an optimized number of product terms to each I/O pin of the CPLDS and the same uniform number of product terms as feedback. However, no product terms are permanently connected to either a particular macrocell or a particular I/O pin. The programmable optimized-distribution logic allocator includes a multiplicity of router elements where each router element steers a sum of a selected number of sum-of-product terms from a PAL structure, i.e, a selected number of logic product-term clusters, to a programmably selected logic macrocell. Specifically, the programmable optimized-distribution logic allocator has a plurality of input lines, a plurality of output lines and a plurality of programmable router elements. Each programmable router element has an input terminal connected an input line in the plurality of input lines and an output terminal connected to an output line in the plurality of output lines.
摘要:
A Variable Grain Architecture (VGA) device includes a shared output component (SOC) that may be used for programmably-routing process result signals onto either or plural ones of differently directed longlines within an FPGA. Plural VGB's make shared use of each SOC to output respective function signals to the longlines. The SOC may be also used for programmably-routing signals (e.g., feedthrough signals) that are selectively acquired from either one of equivalent but differently positioned interconnect channels. Such freedom in routing VGB result signals or feedthrough signals can allow FPGA configuring software to explore a wider range of partitioning, placement and/or routing options for finding optimized implementations in the VGA FPGA device of various, supplied design specifications.
