Embodiments of the inventive concept include a fast close path solution and circuit of a three path fused multiply-adder circuit. The fast close path circuit can include one or more compressors that can receive multiple operands and produce a result sum and a result carry. The close path circuit can include one or more leading zero anticipators (LZAs). The one or more LZAs can receive and process the result sum and the result carry. The close path circuit can include one or more adders. The one or more adders can receive and add the result sum and the result carry in parallel with the one or more LZAs processing the result sum and the result carry. Since the close path is the critical timing path, by performing the addition operations in parallel with the LZA and/or priority encode (PENC) operations, the logic depth and latency of the close path are reduced.

An apparatus includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be fabricated in a substrate and generally includes a first diode and a second diode (i) connected as anti-parallel diodes and (ii) physically adjacent to each other in the substrate. The second circuit may be fabricated in the substrate and generally includes a third diode and a fourth diode (i) connected as anti-parallel diodes and (ii) physically adjacent to each other in the substrate. The first circuit and the second circuit may be (a) connected in parallel, (b) physically adjacent to each other in the substrate and (c) configured to mix two input signals to generate an output signal.

A process for management of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices includes a management system for identifying, interrogating, and updating devices connected to one or more networks. The management system can include a data store for storing various data related to the devices and the various processes of the management system. The management system can include a controller for executing processes such as interrogation processes, firmware change processes, credential change processes, and other processes. The controller can determine versions of firmware and other configuration properties of a device and generate various profiles for updating the firmware and other configuration properties. The controller can determine upgrade paths for updating the firmware and other configuration properties from a first version to a second version, the upgrade paths including one or more intermediary versions for facilitating the upgrade path. The management system can update devices individually, on a device family basis, or on a system-wide basis.

A method, computer readable medium, and processor are disclosed for performing matrix multiply and accumulate (MMA) operations. The processor includes a datapath configured to execute the MMA operation to generate a plurality of elements of a result matrix at an output of the datapath. Each element of the result matrix is generated by calculating at least one dot product of corresponding pairs of vectors associated with matrix operands specified in an instruction for the MMA operation. A dot product operation includes the steps of: generating a plurality of partial products by multiplying each element of a first vector with a corresponding element of a second vector; aligning the plurality of partial products based on the exponents associated with each element of the first vector and each element of the second vector; and accumulating the plurality of aligned partial products into a result queue utilizing at least one adder.
