US Patent:

8050903, Nov 1, 2011

Filed:

Aug 26, 1993

Appl. No.:

08/112906

Inventors:

Patrick W. Bosshart - Dallas TX, US
Derek James Smith - Dallas TX, US
Daniel Charles Pickens - Garland TX, US
Douglas J. Matzke - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

703 15, 703 14, 703 13

Abstract:

Apparatus for storing all logic simulation signal values generated by a logic simulator during a simulation run is provided. The apparatus includes a runtime array for storing a plurality of signal values for each time instance in a predetermined time period, and a checkpoint cache for selectively storing the plurality of signal values stored in the runtime array at selected time instances. A hyper-checkpoint array is further provided to checkpoint the signal values in the checkpoint cache. In addition, the time instances and values of memory writes are also checkpointed. A user may retrieve the value of any signal values generated during the simulation run and may additionally rewind the simulator to a user-specified time in the simulation run.

Feb 28, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/662041

Inventors:

Derek J. Smith - Dallas TX

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G06F 1518

US Classification:

395 24

Abstract:

Preferred embodiments include systems with neural network processors (58) having input encoders (56) that encode integers as binary vectors so that close integers encode as close binary vectors by requiring adjacent integers have encoded binary vectors that differ in a fixed fraction of their bits.

Derek Smith - Lafayette LA

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G11C 1300

US Classification:

36523003

Abstract:

An active memory 14 is provided which includes a data memory 20 including rows and columns of storage locations for holding data. A broadcast memory 22 is provided which includes rows and columns of storage locations for holding control instructions. Search circuitry 26, 52 is provided which is operable to receive at least one word of data from data memory 20 and test the word against a preselected search test condition. Control circuitry 24 is operable in response to control instructions received from the broadcast memory 22 to control the transfer of the word of data from the data memory 20 to the search circuitry 26, 52 and the test of the word by the search circuitry 26, 52.

International Classification:

G06F 1200

US Classification:

395405

Abstract:

Memory chips with data memory (202), embedded logic (206) and broadcast memory (204) for two modes of operation are disclosed. A first mode of operation is the usual memory mode expected of a data RAM. The second mode of operation allows localized computation and/or processing of the data in data memory (202) by the embedded logic (206) with minimal handshaking with a remote CPU. In a functioning system, the memory chips are organized in a hierarchical manner and include address-associative memory systems.

F21V 23/00
F21K 9/20

Abstract:

A modular system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a casing with an accessory. Self-alignment of the casing and the accessory may provide a secure connection of the casing with the accessory. At least one detent and at least one locking arm may mate and lock the casing against the accessory in a mounted position. The at least one detent and the at least one locking arm may unlock in an insertion position. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the casing towards the accessory.
