| 20080263120 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING FLOATING POINT CONVERSION BETWEEN DIFFERENT BASES - A method of streamlining floating-point conversions includes determining a source coefficient and a source exponent of an input value represented by a floating-point number in a source base; estimating an approximated target exponent (ATE) using the source coefficient and the source exponent, in the event the source coefficient has a non-zero value; determining whether the ATE exceeds a maximum exponent so as to result an overflow, and outputting a predefined overflow value in the event of an overflow; determining whether the ATE exceeds a minimum exponent so as to result an underflow, and outputting a predefined underflow value in the event of an underflow; and in the event the ATE does not result in either an overflow or underflow, converting the input value to an output value represented by a converted coefficient, a converted base and the exponent of the output value. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20090222696 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING NON-REPRODUCIBLE PSEUDO-RANDOM TEST CASES - A method for monitoring a test case generator system by detecting non-reproducible pseudo-random test cases, comprising: building a first pseudo-random test case having a first sequence of seeds comprising a first starting seed and a first ending seed through the test case generator system; reproducing the first sequence of seeds of the first pseudo-random test case by building a second pseudo-random test case having a second sequence of seeds comprising a second starting seed and a second ending seed through the test case generator system when the test case generator system is operating in a reproduction mode, the first starting seed being used as the second starting seed of the second sequence of seeds; and comparing the first ending seed in the first sequence of seeds to the second ending seed in the second sequence of seeds. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20110145308 | SYSTEM TO IMPROVE NUMEREICAL CONVERSIONS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A system to improve numerical conversion may include a data processor and a controller configured to convert a floating-point number from the data processor to more than one different floating-point type number. The conversion may enable the selection of the more than one different floating-point type number that satisfies the requirements of an executing application and/or is closest to the original number. | 06-16-2011 |
