DYNAMIC FUSION BASED ON OPERAND SIZE
Aspects of the invention include receiving, by a processor, a plurality of instructions at an instruction pipeline. The processor can further determine an operand bit field size for each of the received plurality of instructions. The processor can further compare the operand bit field size of at least a subset of the received instructions to a predetermined threshold. The processor can further fuse at least two of the received instructions that have an operand bit field size that meets the predetermined threshold. The processor can further perform an execution stage within the instruction pipeline to execute the received instructions, including the fused instructions.
COMPLIANCE AWARE SERVICE REGISTRY AND LOAD BALANCING
Techniques facilitating compliance aware service registry and load balancing are provided. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component that removes a service from a load balancer ring based on a first determination by a verification component that a compliance state of the service is a non-compliant state. Further, the computer executable components can comprise an insertion component that adds the service to the load balancer ring based on a second determination by the verification component that, after a defined amount of time, the compliance state of the service is a compliant state.
Extracting true color from a color and infrared sensor
The subject disclosure is directed towards color correcting for infrared (IR) components that are detected in the R, G, B parts of a sensor photosite. A calibration process determines true R, G, B based upon obtaining or estimating IR components in each photosite, such as by filtering techniques and/or using different IR lighting conditions. A set of tables or curves obtained via offline calibration model the correction data needed for online correction of an image.
Method and apparatus to create register windows for parallel iterations to achieve high performance in HW-SW codesigned loop accelerator
An apparatus includes a register file and a binary translator to create a plurality of strands and a plurality of iteration windows, where each iteration window of the plurality of iteration windows is allocated a set of continuous registers of the register file. The apparatus further includes a buffer to store strand documentation for a strand from the plurality of strands, where the strand documentation for the strand is to include an indication of a current register base for the strand. The apparatus further includes an execution circuit to execute an instruction to update the current register base for the strand in the strand documentation for the strand based on a fixed step value and an iteration window size.
Arithmetic processing device and method of controlling arithmetic processing device
An arithmetic processing device includes: a first register configured to hold data to be used to execute an instruction; a second register configured to hold a portion of the data held in the first register; a computing circuit configured to execute computation using the data held in the second register; a first error detector configured to detect whether or not an error is included in the data to be transferred by the first register to the second register; a controller configured to interrupt the execution of the instruction if the first error detector detects the error in the data; and an error corrector configured to correct the error in the data held in the first register if the first error detector detects the error in the data.
Tightly coupled processor arrays using coarse grained reconfigurable architecture with iteration level commits
An apparatus and method for supporting simultaneous multiple iterations (SMI) in a course grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA). In support of SMI, the apparatus includes: Hardware structures that connect all of multiple processing engines (PEs) to a load-store unit (LSU) configured to keep track of which compiled program code iterations have completed, which ones are in flight and which are yet to begin, and a control unit including hardware structures that are used to maintain synchronization and initiate and terminate loops within the PEs. SMI permits execution of the next instruction within any iteration (in flight). If instructions from multiple iterations are ready for execution (and are pre-decoded), then the hardware selects the lowest iteration number ready for execution. If in a particular clock cycle, a loop iteration with a lower iteration number is stalled (i.e., is waiting for data), the instruction from the next highest iteration number that is ready thereby will be automatically executed automatically allowing the CGRA to have high ILP by overlapping concurrent loop iterations.
History buffer with single snoop tag for multiple-field registers
An approach is provided in which a mapper control unit matches a result instruction tag corresponding to an executed instruction to a history buffer entry's instruction tag. The matched history buffer entry includes multiple history buffer field sets that each include a field set state indicator. The mapper control unit identifies a subset of the history buffer field sets having a valid field set state indicator and stores result data corresponding to the result instruction tag in the identified subset of history buffer field sets. In turn, the mapper control unit restores a subset of a register's fields utilizing content from the subset of history buffer field sets.
Tracking operand liveness information in a computer system and performing function based on the liveness information
Operand liveness state information is maintained during context switches for current architected operands of executing programs. The current operand state information indicates whether corresponding current operands are enabled or disabled for use by a first program module comprising machine instructions of an instruction set architecture (ISA) for disabling current architected operands. A machine instruction of the first program module accesses a current operand by using the current operand state information to determine whether a previously stored current operand value is accessible by the first program module.
INTENSITY-MODULATED LIGHT PATTERN FOR ACTIVE STEREO
The subject disclosure is directed towards projecting light in a pattern in which the pattern contains components (e.g., spots) having different intensities. The pattern may be based upon a grid of initial points associated with first intensities and points between the initial points with second intensities, and so on. The pattern may be rotated relative to cameras that capture the pattern, with captured images used active depth sensing based upon stereo matching of dots in stereo images.
