Title: SIMD processor with iterative multiply/accumulate instruction for finite impulse response filters
Inventor: WILDER MLADEN
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2009-09-01
Abstract: An SIMD processor has an instruction to carry out an iterative multiply/accumulate operation. Each iteration carries out several multiply/accumulate operations in parallel. In a given iteration, the each multiply/accumulate unit multiplies a different number from a first vector with the same number from a second vector and adds the result to the unit's accumulator. The first vector may be shifted at the end of each iteration so that each multiply/accumulate unit operates on a different element in subsequent iterations. A different element from the second vector may be used in subsequent iterations. The accumulators may be set to an initial vector or may be set to zero at the start of the instruction. The instruction has a parameter M, which determines the number of iterations. When implementing a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, the first vector is an input data element vector and the second vector is a coefficient vector.

Abstract: 1,044,372. Frequency discriminators; pulse frequency detectors. COAL INDUSTRY (PATENTS) Ltd. June 19, 1963 [March 19, 1962], No. 10424/62. Headings H3A and H3T. A frequency discriminator comprises an amplifier and pulse shaper, J15-J18, Fig. 4 (not shown), for converting an input sine wave S, Fig. 1 (not shown), into a square wave which triggers a scaling circuit J19, J20 producing complementary square wave outputs A and B of half the input frequency; the B output is differentiated and triggers a timing circuit J21, J22 producing pulses of constant length T, and the inverted output of the timing circuit together with the A output are fed to an AND gate J24 which is opened only when both inputs are zero, thereby producing output pulses H of constant amplitude of a duration equal to the difference between T and half a cycle of A, these pulses being fed to an output meter M which indicates the frequency. T may be varied to vary the frequency at which the meter shows zero. The input S may be derived from an acoustic gas detection system, and the meter M may then indicate the concentration of methane in a gas mixture. Pulse frequency detectors.-The A and B pulses derived as above feed a control circuit, Fig. 5 (not shown), adapted to operate a relay when the input frequency is either above or below a predetermined value. The A pulses trigger a long timing circuit J27, J28 which holds gate J33, J34 open and gate J29 closed for the duration of the long timing pulses. The B pulses trigger a short timing circuit J25, J26, and pulses are produced across R77 and R89 by differentiating circuits at each end of the short timing pulses. Thus if the frequency is high, Fig. 2a (not shown), the pulses across R89 pass through gate J33, J34 to set a bi-stable circuit J31, J32, to one state. If the frequency is low, Fig. 2c, pulses across R77 pass through gate J29 to set the bi-stable circuit to its other state. At intermediate frequencies, Fig. 2b, there is a backlash period when both gates are blocked and neither set of pulses can affect the state of the bi-stable circuit. The bi-stable circuit provides outputs on lines X and Y, one of which is connected to line Z to open a switching transistor J36 which energizes a relay RA, Fig. 6 (not shown), via line Q, selection of line X or line Y determining whether the relay responds to high or low frequency.

Abstract: 278,496. Thomson, R. F., Thomas, J., and Scottish Dyes, Ltd. April 22, 1926. Benzanthrone derivatives; dibenzanthrone dyes. -Benzanthrone derivatives having the 2- and Bz1-positions free are treated in sulphuric acid solution with oxidizing agents so as to yield substantial proportions of the corresponding substituted dibenzanthronyls, together with substituted oxybenzanthrones; the process is carried out in the same manner as the treatment of benzanthrone itself as described in Specification 251,313. The oxidation should be effected at temperatures below 60‹ C. and preferably at 0-20‹ C. The substituted dibenzanthronyls can be purified by precipitation from sulphuric acid and yield vat dyes of the dibenzanthrone type by alkali fusion: the substituted oxybenzanthrones can be alkylated and the alkoxy compounds also converted into vat dyes by alkali fusion. According to one example 6-chlorbenzanthrone is oxidized at 0- 10‹ C. with manganese dioxide in sulphuric acid solution; the dichlordibenzanthronyl so produced is freed from oxychlorbenzanthrone by alkali extraction and from unchanged chlorbenzanthrone by benzene extraction, further purified by precipitation from sulphuric acid, and converted by alkali fusion into a blue dyestuff resembling dibenzanthrone. Other substituted benzanthrones specified as suitable are (1) the /3-chlorbenzanthrones (melting at 130-134‹ C. and 148-150‹ C. respectively) obtained, together with 2-chlorbenzanthrone, by condensing 2-chloranthraquinone with glycerol and fractionally crystallizing the product; (2) the a-chlorbenzanthrones (melting at 180.5-181.5‹ C. and 154-160‹ C. respectively) obtained by condensing 1-chloranthraquinone with glycerol; (3) 6-methylbenzanthrone ; (4) the #-methylbenzanthrones obtained by condensing 2-methylanthraquinone with glycerol and removing 2-methylbenzanthrone from the product by crystallization. The use of other halogenated benzanthrones and other alkylbenzanthrones, having the 2- and Bz1-positions free, is also referred to.
