Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100146020System and Method for the Parallelization of Saturated Accumulation Operations - A system and method for parallelization of saturated accumulation is provided. In the method, an input sequence is divided into a plurality of subsequences. For each subsequence, three parallel saturating additions are performed. The local saturation minimum is the saturating addition of the global saturation minimum and the values of the subsequence. The local midpoint is the saturating addition of the values of the subsequence and the local saturation maximum is the saturating addition of the global saturation maximum and the values of the subsequence. In embodiments, the accumulation total for a subsequence is calculated as the saturating addition of the accumulation total for prior subsequences and the local midpoint of the current subsequence, wherein the accumulation total of the last subsequence is the result of the saturated accumulation for the sequence. In another embodiment, the saturated addition of subsequence results are further parallelized before the final result is reached.06-10-2010

20110015851APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING TRAFFIC INFORMATION - A system and method for providing traffic information is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises, for each segment of a route between an origin point and a destination point, performing a time-dependent journey planning calculation, based on a time during which a vehicle is predicted to be traveling through the segment, to produce a segment result; forming at least one route result, the at least one route result being formed based on a plurality of the segment results; storing the at least one route result in a digital storage means; and accessing the rapid access means for use in responding to a user request for traffic information for a journey between the origin point and the destination point. In another embodiment, a method comprises pre-determining at least a portion of a recommended most economic route between an origin point and a destination point; storing the pre-determined portion of the recommended most economic route in a rapid access means in a digital storage means; and accessing the rapid access means for use in responding to a user request for traffic information for a journey between the origin point and the destination point. In another embodiment a method comprises determining, with reference to a first network of geographical boundaries and a second network of digital map nodes, a recommended most economic route between an origin point and a destination point; and transmitting the recommended most economic route to a user.01-20-2011
