A method and structure for compensation techniques in coherent optical receivers. The present invention provides a coherent optical receiver with an improved 8x8 adaptive MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) equalizer configured within a digital signal processor (DSP) to compensate the effects of transmitter I/Q skew in subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) schemes. The 88 MIMO equalizer can be configured such that each of the 8 outputs is electrically coupled to 3 of 8 inputs, wherein each of the input-output couplings is configured as a filter. The method includes compensating for impairments to the digital conversion of an optical input signal via the 8x8 MIMO equalizer following other signal processing steps, such as chromatic dispersion (CD)/polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation, carrier recovery, timing synchronization, and cycle slip correction.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to bit string conversion are described. Circuitry can perform operations on bit strings, such as universal number and/or posit bit strings, to alter a level of precision (e.g., a dynamic range, resolution, etc.) of the bit strings. For instance, bit string conversion can include receiving, by a memory resource coupled to logic circuitry, a first bit string having a first bit string length. The first quantity of bits can comprise a first bit sub-set, a second bit sub-set, a third bit sub-set, and a fourth bit sub-set. The logic circuitry monitor numerical values corresponding to at least one bit sub-set of the bit string to determine a dynamic range corresponding to the data and/or precision corresponding to the data and generate a second bit string having a second bit string length based, at least in part, on the determined dynamic range of the data, the precision of the data.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to host-based bit string conversion are described. A conversion component may be deployed on a host computing system and configured to perform operations on bit strings to selectively convert the bit string between various numeric formats, such as floating-point and/or universal number (e.g., posit) formats. The conversion component may comprise a processing device that may be coupled to one or more memory resources. The memory resource of the conversion component may be configured to receive a bit string having a first format. The processing device of the conversion component coupled to the memory resource may be configured to format or convert the bit string to a second format.

A compressor includes a logic circuit having transistors of a first channel type to receive a plurality of bit signals, and transistors of a second channel type, different from the first channel type, to receive the plurality of bit signals. The transistors of the first channel type are configured to generate an XOR logic output based on the plurality of bit signals, and the transistors of the second channel type are configured to generate, substantially simultaneous with the generation of the XOR logic output, an XNOR logic output based on the plurality of bit signals. The compressor includes NAND gates to receive multiplicand and multiplier bit signals.

A method and structure for probabilistic shaping and compensation techniques in coherent optical receivers. According to an example, the present invention provides a method and structure for an implementation of distribution matcher encoders and decoders for probabilistic shaping applications. The techniques involved avoid the traditional implementations based on arithmetic coding, which requires intensive multiplication functions. Furthermore, these probabilistic shaping techniques can be used in combination with LDPC codes through reverse concatenation techniques.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for converting ubiquitous language instructions to robotic process automation executable action steps and executing the action steps. A managing system receives an encrypted user input from a computing device of the user, where the user input comprises instructions entered in ubiquitous language (e.g., common vernacular, or other non-complex programming language). The user input is decrypted and an action keyword is identified from the ubiquitous language instructions. The action keyword for each instruction is compared to a conversion database to determine a set of execution steps associated with each action keyword. These execution steps are in a format that enables a robotic process automation system to perform the execution steps. The set of execution steps is then transmitted to the robotic process automation system that automatically performs the set of execution steps through a workstation or other operating station of the user.
