The solving unit is configured to obtain solutions of the equation. The selecting unit is configured to select one of the solutions as a result of computation, based on the first additional data. The determining unit is configured to determine second additional data for identifying a conjugate of the selected result of computation based on the first additional data. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246490 | CONVERTING BINARY VALUES INTO BINARY-CODED-CENTIMAL VALUES - The disclosed embodiments facilitate converting binary values into the BCC format. One technique facilitates the direct conversion of binary numbers into BCC. A second variation first converts a binary number into an intermediate BCD value, and then converts that BCD value into a BCC value. Look-ahead comparators can further improve conversion performance by decreasing the latency of the conversion operation. By speeding up the conversion of binary values to decimal-format values, the disclosed techniques facilitate leveraging dedicated binary-format hardware for decimal-format operations, and thus improve the performance of decimal-format operations. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246491 | SOFTWARE-HARDWARE ADDER - A data processing system, method and computer program product to receive general-purpose code for iterative summation of an aggregate number of addends, wherein each addend has a precision. The data processing system operates an arithmetic hardware unit to set a first set of input registers to be a target of memory mapped registers and uses a broad-based adder to generate an adder result, wherein the broad-based adder has a broad-based adder size of inputs, and the broad-based adder size is less than the aggregate number of addends and greater than two, wherein each input register of the first set of input registers is connected to each input. Further, the data processing system may write the adder result to a storage array in memory, wherein the adder result is the sum of the inputs, and the adder result is placed in the storage array as indexed by a storage array index. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246492 | SIGNAL PROCESSOR, WINDOW PROVIDER, ENCODED MEDIA SIGNAL, METHOD FOR PROCESSING A SIGNAL AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A WINDOW - A signal processor for providing a processed version of an input signal in dependence on the input signal has a windower configured to window a portion of the input signal, or of a pre-processed version thereof, in dependence on a signal processing window described by signal processing window values for a plurality of window value index values, in order to obtain the processed version of the input signal. The signal processor also has a window provider for providing the signal processing window values for a plurality of window value index values in dependence on one or more window shape parameters. | 2013-09-19 |
