Title: Updating firmware with multiple processors
Inventor: HA WAI-LEUNG
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2009-09-02
Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for updating memory containing representations of computer-executable instructions in a processing system are provided. A primary processor receives original sets of computer-readable instructions and updated sets of computer-readable instructions for the processors in processor system from a host system. The sets of computer-readable instructions are stored in memory such as flash memory, where each processor in the system may utilize different sets. The primary processor then initiates updating its firmware with the corresponding updated set. If the update is unsuccessful, the primary processor reverts to the original set and the update process is terminated. Otherwise, the firmware update proceeds to the secondary processor. If the firmware update succeeds, the next secondary processor is updated. Otherwise, all of the updated processors revert to the corresponding original set of computer-readable instructions and the updating process is terminated.

Title: Task execution in a SIMD processing unit
Inventor: HOWSON JOHN
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2014-06-11
Abstract: Single-instruction-multiple-data processor (SIMD) reducing the number of wasted slots due to partial residency. Parallel processing lanes 902-1 to 902-4 in each processing cycle clk0-7 are split into groups 1-4, each group being assigned to a particular task. For example, a task comprising work items 0-16 is assigned to group 1 having lanes 902-1. When no work items are scheduled in any processing lane of a group in a cycle, the processing lanes skip the particular processing cycle independently of other groups, e.g. cycles clk5-7 for group 1 can be skipped independently of groups 2-4. Work items of tasks scheduled for subsequent cycles, e.g. clk8, can then be moved forward and scheduled at clk5 for group 1. This way fewer slots are wasted (e.g. three slots at clk4) compared to the case where work items 0-16 of the task are processed using all the parallel lanes (e.g. fifteen slots at clk2).
