20130117760 | Software-Assisted Instruction Level Execution Preemption - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for instruction level execution preemption. Preempting at the instruction level does not require any draining of the processing pipeline. No new instructions are issued and the context state is unloaded from the processing pipeline. Any in-flight instructions that follow the preemption command in the processing pipeline are captured and stored in a processing task buffer to be reissued when the preempted program is resumed. The processing task buffer is designated as a high priority task to ensure the preempted instructions are reissued before any new instructions for the preempted context when execution of the preempted context is restored. | 05-09-2013 |
20130124838 | INSTRUCTION LEVEL EXECUTION PREEMPTION - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique instruction level and compute thread array granularity execution preemption. Preempting at the instruction level does not require any draining of the processing pipeline. No new instructions are issued and the context state is unloaded from the processing pipeline. When preemption is performed at a compute thread array boundary, the amount of context state to be stored is reduced because execution units within the processing pipeline complete execution of in-flight instructions and become idle. If, the amount of time needed to complete execution of the in-flight instructions exceeds a threshold, then the preemption may dynamically change to be performed at the instruction level instead of at compute thread array granularity. | 05-16-2013 |
20130298133 | TECHNIQUE FOR COMPUTATIONAL NESTED PARALLELISM - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing nested kernel execution within a parallel processing subsystem. The technique involves enabling a parent thread to launch a nested child grid on the parallel processing subsystem, and enabling the parent thread to perform a thread synchronization barrier on the child grid for proper execution semantics between the parent thread and the child grid. This technique advantageously enables the parallel processing subsystem to perform a richer set of programming constructs, such as conditionally executed and nested operations and externally defined library functions without the additional complexity of CPU involvement. | 11-07-2013 |
20140344528 | TECHNIQUES FOR ASSIGNING PRIORITIES TO MEMORY COPIES - One embodiment sets forth a method for guiding the order in which a parallel processing subsystem executes memory copies. A driver creates semaphores for all but the lowest priority included in a plurality of priorities and associates one priority with each copy hardware channel included in the parallel processing subsystem. The driver then aliases prioritized streams to the copy hardware channels based on the priorities. Upon receiving a request to execute a memory copy within one of the streams, the driver inserts commands into the aliased copy hardware channel. These commands use the semaphores to direct the parallel processing subsystem to execute the memory copy based on the priority of the copy hardware channel. Advantageously, by assigning priorities to streams and, subsequently, strategically requesting memory copies within the prioritized streams, an application developer may fine-tune their software application to increase the overall processing efficiency of the software application. | 11-20-2014 |
20140344821 | TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING PRIORITIES BETWEEN STREAMS OF WORK AND DYNAMIC PARALLELISM - One embodiment sets forth a method for assigning priorities to kernels launched by a software application and executed within a stream of work on a parallel processing subsystem that supports dynamic parallelism. First, the software application assigns a maximum nesting depth for dynamic parallelism. The software application then assigns a stream priority to a stream. These assignments cause a driver to map the stream priority to a device priority and, subsequently, associate the device priority with the stream. As part of the mapping, the driver ensures that each device priority is at least the maximum nesting depth higher than the device priorities associated with any lower priority streams. Subsequently, the driver launches any kernel included in the stream with the device priority associated with the stream. Advantageously, by strategically assigning the maximum nesting depth and prioritizing streams, an application developer may increase the overall processing efficiency of the software application. | 11-20-2014 |

A power controlling processor may determine how the supplied power, e.g., voltage, is supplied to other components within the infusion device. Additional circuitry within the system may provide a secure power transfer within the device to ensure user safety and ensure that a high frequency noise is properly attenuated. | 12-12-2013 |
20140148872 | WEARABLE TRANSDERMAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICES AND METHODS OF USING THEM - Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for transdermal electrical stimulation. Devices described herein can include self-contained, lightweight, and wearable components. The devices include a primary unit including a first transdermal electrode and a secondary unit including a second transdermal electrode. The device can be capable of wireless communication. The primary unit and secondary unit are placed at two locations on the skin of a user, for example on the head or neck of a user. The first and second transdermal electrodes are electrically connected. Electrical stimulation is driven between the two electrodes. The electrical stimulation induces a cognitive effect in a user of the device. | 05-29-2014 |
20150135840 | SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR COUPLING ULTRASOUND ENERGY TO A BODY - Methods and systems for coupling ultrasound to the body, including to the head, are disclosed. The system is optionally configured to transmit ultrasound energy for transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation. Couplant assemblies are described that incorporate a semi-solid component that interfaces directly to the user's body and face of the ultrasound transducer. These couplant assemblies can be shaped, molded, or otherwise machined and, in some embodiments, contain one or more liquid, gel, or other non-solid component in an enclosed reservoir of the couplant assembly. Beneficial embodiments of ultrasound coupling assemblies described herein include those that conform to the contour of the user's body (e.g. the user's head for transcranial applications) and can easily be removed without leaving a messy residue. By having solid materials physically contacting the body, no residue is left that requires cleanup. | 05-21-2015 |
20150174403 | TRANSDERMAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICES FOR MODIFYING OR INDUCING COGNITIVE STATE - Portable transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) applicators for modifying a subject's cognitive state. In general, the portable applicators described are specifically configured and adapted to be lightweight and may be wearable, and to deliver a high-intensity TES able to evoke or enhance a predetermined cognitive effect. These TES applicators may include a pair of electrodes and a TES control module comprising a processor, a timer and a waveform generator. TES control module is adapted to deliver a biphasic electrical stimulation signal of 10 seconds or longer between the first and second electrodes having a frequency of 400 Hz or greater, a duty cycle of greater than 10 percent, an intensity of 3 mA or greater, with a DC offset. | 06-25-2015 |
