Title: An apparatus and method for controlling debugging of program instructions including a transaction
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN WILLIAMS
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2015-02-13
Abstract: An apparatus (100 in Figure 3) comprises: processing circuitry to execute 205 program instructions include a transaction (Figure 1) which comprises a number of program instructions that execute to generate updates to state data, where those updates are committed if the transaction completes without a conflict (Figure 2A); and control storage (135 in Figures 3 and 4) for storing stepping control data. The processing circuitry is responsive to the stepping control data 220 having a first value to operate in a single stepping mode, where the processing circuitry initiates a debug event 230 following execution of each instruction; however, if the stepping control data has a second value, the processing circuitry instead is arranged to operate in a step over transaction mode 225, when executing the number of program instructions within the transaction, to suppress initiation of the debug event until the transaction has completed. This can avoid probe effects being introduced by debug activity during the execution of the program instructions of a transaction. A debugger apparatus comprises syndrome analysis circuitry and breakpoint determination circuitry, facilitating a debug control method (Figure 6).
Patent GB-2540216-A (GB)
Title: Comparison of wide data types
Inventor: JØRN NYSTAD
IPC: G06F7/02
Filed: 2015-07-10
Abstract: This invention is for an apparatus 100 that is capable of comparing large values of data 105, 110, more efficiently. Processing circuitry 115 is normally only capable of operating on 32-bit values, so when presented with a value that is larger than that then the processing circuitry will perform a sequence of commands, where each command corresponds to a separate 32-bit chunk of both values. It will then perform a comparison on each of the smaller pieces in a sequence. It then chains the comparison results together so that the result from the first comparison is used as part of the input for the second comparison, with the results being accumulated to give a final comparison result. The process may use a descriptor that is passed between comparison operations in order to chain the comparison operations together. This allows the output of one comparison operation to be used as a parameter for a subsequent comparison operation.

Title: Thermally assisted MRAM
Inventor: ANNUNZIATA ANTHONY JOSEPH
IPC: H01L43/08
Filed: 2014-11-05
Abstract: A thermally assisted magnetoresistive random access memory device (TAS-MRAM or Thermal MRAM). The device operates as a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which comprises a tunnel barrier junction 14 sandwiched between a sense ferromagnetic layer 16 and a synthetic antiferromagnetic layer (SAF) 12 which acts as a storage layer. SAF layer comprises two proximate ferromagnetic layers 11, 13 separated by a non magnetic coupling layer 15 (ruthenium Ru). Adjacent to the SAF layer is a pinning layer 30 which fixes the magnetic orientation of the antiferromagnetic layers in normal operation but when electrically heated during the write cycle, unpins the magnetic orientations of the SAF ferromagnetic layers allowing programming of the TAS-MRAM MTJ device, by an adjacent magnetic filed 80. The ferromagnetic material may comprise Co, Fe, Ni or any alloys of these elements. At least one of the ferromagnetic layers in the ferromagnetic sense layer or in the constituents of the synthetic antiferromagnetic layer may comprise a non magnetic material acting as dopants, for example Ta, Ti, Hf, Cr, Nb, Mo or Zr or alloys of these elements. The doped ferromagnetic layers may be formed from sputtering, co-sputtering and may also form layers or a laminate (figures 8A-C). The ensuing reduction in the magnetostatic interaction dispersions between the relative ferromagnetic sense and storage layers leads to a reduction in reading or writing power consumption. It also allows a relatively larger thickness for each or any of the ferromagnetic layers, which may within the range 10Ã

Title: System for receiving or transmitting data with a fast-path protocol processing architecture
Inventor: ARNAUD CLOSSET
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-11-19
Abstract: A data transmission system in which payload data is transferred between user application and a dedicated discrete module 208 situated between a host device 120 and network interface controller device 110, bypassing the kernel. The system processes header data in kernel space with an Internet Protocol stack 204, the module constructing the packet before delivering it to the network interface. Direct memory access to the header and payload may be performed based on a descriptor. During transmission of data, application buffers may be locked and unlocked once notification of delivery has been received. Kernel and application buffers may be in shared memory. The system may have a fast-path dedicated socket to link the IP stack and applications for registering a list of transmission buffers. A receiving system executes the IP stack in kernel space and transfers payload directly between NIC and application buffer without intermediate copying and storage within kernel space, analysing the header in the module 208 and determining the position of application buffers to store the payload. Analysing the header may comprise applying a hash function and determining whether to process the packet in a standard or fast-path mode.

Abstract: Predicting current motion vectors by weighting previous motion vectors of a collocated block using temporal distance values A method of encoding a video signal, an associated method of decoding a video signal, and an associated apparatus for performing the decoding method. The methods predict motion vectors MV1_CURR, MV2_CURR for a current block 716 of a current frame 710 using motion vectors MV1_PREV, MV2_PREV from a collocated block 714 in previous frames 704 in the video stream. Temporal distances T1_CURR, T2_CURR between a current frame and one or more reference frames 708, 712 are determined and temporal distances T1_PREV, T2_PREV between the previous frame and its reference frames 702, 706 are determined. A current motion vector can be estimated from a previous motion vector by using the temporal distances for current frames and previous frames to weight 608 the predicted motion vectors. An example of a motion vector candidate for encoding the current vector is: MV1_CURR = MV1_PREV X T1_CURR                                             ________                                             T1_PREV The encoded stream includes bits, which may represent the difference between the current motion vector and the weighted prediction motion vector, and may represent whether the previous frame is located temporally ahead or behind the current frame.
