Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100031071Platform-Based Idle-Time Processing - A system and method for transitions a computing system between operating modes that have different power consumption characteristics. When a system management unit (SMU) determines that the computing system is in a low activity state, the SMU transitions the central processing unit (CPU) into a low power operating mode after the CPU stores critical operating state of the CPU in a memory. The SMU then intercepts and processes interrupts intended for the CPU, modifying a copy of the critical operating state. This effectively extends the time during which the CPU stays in lower power mode. When the SMU determines that the computing system exits a low activity state, the copy of the critical operating state is stored in the memory and the SMU transitions the CPU into a high power operating mode using the modified critical operating state.02-04-2010

Each thread in a CTA has a unique identifier (thread ID) that can be assigned at thread launch time. The thread ID controls various aspects of the thread's processing behavior such as the portion of the input data set to be processed by each thread, the portion of an output data set to be produced by each thread, and/or sharing of intermediate results among threads. Mechanisms for loading and launching CTAs in a representative processing core and for synchronizing threads within a CTA are also described.04-14-2011
20110238955METHODS FOR SCALABLY EXPLOITING PARALLELISM IN A PARALLEL PROCESSING SYSTEM - Parallelism in a parallel processing subsystem is exploited in a scalable manner. A problem to be solved can be hierarchically decomposed into at least two levels of sub-problems. Individual threads of program execution are defined to solve the lowest-level sub-problems. The threads are grouped into one or more thread arrays, each of which solves a higher-level sub-problem. The thread arrays are executable by processing cores, each of which can execute at least one thread array at a time. Thread arrays can be grouped into grids of independent thread arrays, which solve still higher-level sub-problems or an entire problem. Thread arrays within a grid, or entire grids, can be distributed across all of the available processing cores as available in a particular system implementation.09-29-2011

20140136793SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCED CACHE MODE - A system and method are described for dynamically changing the size of a computer memory such as level 2 cache as used in a graphics processing unit. In an embodiment, a relatively large cache memory can be implemented in a computing system so as to meet the needs of memory intensive applications. But where cache utilization is reduced, the capacity of the cache can be reduced. In this way, power consumption is reduced by powering down a portion of the cache.05-15-2014

20090202069METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A SECURE KEY - A method, system on a chip, and computer system for generating more robust keys which utilize data occupying relatively small die areas is disclosed. Embodiments provide a convenient and effective mechanism for generating a key for use in securing data on a portable electronic device, where the key is generated from repurposed data and a relatively small amount. A multi-stage encryption algorithm may be performed to generate the key, where the first stage may include encrypting the secure data, and the second stage may include encrypting the result of a logical operation on the encrypted secure data with a unique identifier of the portable electronic device. A secret key may be used as the encryption key for each stage. The result of the second encryption stage may include the generated key which may be used to perform subsequent operations on the portable electronic device.08-13-2009

20090300191Multi-Protocol Network Registration and Address Resolution - The functionality of a C12.22 application layer is overlaid on an IP-based infrastructure, by employing an IP DNS server as the registration host for both IP- and C12.22-based communications. Communication can occur at either the IP layer or the C12.22 application layer. At the IP layer, a host application can interrogate network nodes. To extend this service to C12.22 communications, C12.22 registration and resolve services are implemented on the DNS server. Similar to the manner in which an IP-based service uses a native, IP-based DNS resolve request, a C12.22 host can utilize a C12.22 resolution request against the C12.22-enabled DNS server for C12.22 application-layer interrogation of endpoints12-03-2009
20110131342MULTI-PROTOCOL NETWORK REGISTRATION AND ADDRESS RESOLUTION - The functionality of communications standards and protocols that are application-layer specific are overlaid on an IP-based infrastructure, by employing an IP DNS server as the registration host for IP and other communications standards based and protocol based communications. Communication can occur at either the IP layer or the communications standards or protocol application layer. At the IP layer, a host application can interrogate network nodes. To extend this service to other communications standards or protocol communications, device registration and resolve services are implemented on the DNS server. Similar to the manner in which an IP-based service uses a native, IP-based DNS resolve request, a host can utilize a resolution request against the communications standards and protocol-enabled DNS server for standards and protocol application-layer interrogation of endpoints.06-02-2011
