摘要:
A distributed shared memory multi-processor system includes a System Control Unit (SCU) which is made up of a system control unit address section (SCUA) and system control unit data sections (SCUDs). The SCU is scalable by dividing the control and data flow functions of the SCU, and then parallelizing the data path. This allows the number of processors in the system to be increased or higher performance processors to be added by increasing the number of SCUDs and reprogramming crossbar switches incorporated in the SCUA and SCUDs. This results in the overall increase of the multi-processor system performance.

A network of integrated communication switches and coherence controllers is provided which interconnected nodes in a cache-coherent multi-processor computer architecture. The nodes contain multiple processors operatively connected to associated memory units through memory controllers. The communication switches and coherence controllers has associated coherence directories which maintain coherence information for all memory lines that are “homed” in the nodes that are directly connected to the particular communication switch and coherence controller.

A network of memory and coherence controllers is provided which interconnected nodes in a cache-coherent multi-processor system. The nodes contain multiple processors operatively connected via respective caches to associated memory and coherence controllers. The system supports better processor utilization and better application performance by reducing the latency in accessing data by performing proactive speculative data transfers. In being proactive, the system speculates, without specific requests from the processors, as to what data transfers will reduce the latency and will make data transfers according to information derived from the system at any time that data transfers could be made.

Various embodiments described herein are directed to methods and systems for blind mode adaptive equalizer system to recover complex valued data symbols from the signal transmitted over time-varying dispersive wireless channels. For example, various embodiments may utilize an architecture comprised of a channel gain normalizer, a blind mode equalizer with hierarchical structure (BMAEHS) comprised of a level 1 adaptive system and a level 2 adaptive system, and an initial data recovery subsystem. The BMAEHS may additionally be comprised of an orthogonalizer for providing a faster convergence speed. In various architectures of the invention, the BMAEHS may be replaced by a cascade of multiple equalizer stages for providing computational and other advantages. Various embodiments may employ either linear or decision feedback configurations. In the communication receiver architectures, differential encoders and decoders are presented to resolve possible ambiguities. Adaptive digital beam former architecture is presented.

A receiver may comprise a complex mixer for converting the modulated signal to a complex modulated signal comprising a first in-phase component and a first quadrature component. The receiver may further comprise a digital demodulator. The digital demodulator may comprise at least one processor circuit programmed for applying a phase differencer for generating an output function in terms of a phase difference of the complex modulated signal. Applying the phase differencer may comprise converting the first in-phase component to a function of a phase difference of the first in-phase component expressed in digital time, and converting the first quadrature component to a function of the phase difference of the first quadrature component expressed in digital time. The at least one processor circuit of the digital demodulator may also be programmed for applying a four quadrant inverse tangent to the output function to generate the information signal.
摘要:
A FIFO memory circuit is for interfacing between circuits with different clock domains. The circuit has a FIFO memory (10), a write pointer circuit (16) clocked by the clock of a first clock domain and controlling the memory location to which data is written, and a read pointer circuit clocked by the clock of a second clock domain and controlling the memory location from which data is read. The read and write pointer circuits use gray coding. The memory circuit further comprises a duplicate write pointer circuit (30) which has its write pointer address incremented synchronously with the write pointer circuit (16), and which has a starting write address selected such that the duplicate write pointer address lags behind the write pointer address circuit by a number of address locations corresponding to the size of the FIFO memory (10). A comparator (34) compares the read pointer circuit address with the duplicate write pointer circuit address for determining a full status of the FIFO memory.
