20110185203 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER CONTROL - Embodiments of the present invention relate to limiting maximum power dissipation occurred in a processor. Therefore, when an application that requires excessive amounts of power is being executed, the execution of the application may be prevented to reduce dissipated or consumed power. Example embodiments may stall the issue or execution of instructions by the processor, allowing software or hardware to reduce the power of an application by imposing a decrease in the performance of the application. | 07-28-2011 |
20120262314 | System and Method of Compression and Decompression - The disclosure relates to a system and a method for hardware encoding and decoding according to the Limpel Ziv STAC (LZS) and Deflate protocols based upon a configuration bit. | 10-18-2012 |
20120286979 | Compression With Adjustable Quality/Bandwidth Capability - The disclosure provides a system and method to vary bandwidth/speed of a compression engine to tradeoff with compression quality. The system comprises an input port receiving a data stream having a current byte and a stream of preceding and subsequent bytes thereof; a history memory storing the stream of preceding bytes in blocks of history data an index engine having a table of keys associated to memory addresses of the blocks, the index engine accessing the table to output a plurality of potential string matches upon entry of the current byte; a search engine processing the potential string matches by fetching the blocks of history data associated with each of the plurality of potential string matches and comparing a portion of each of the blocks to the current byte to output a string upon matching consecutive bytes in the block to the current byte and subsequent bytes thereof; and a control input limiting the number of potential string matches processed by the search engine. | 11-15-2012 |

20130249716 | System And Method Of Compression And Decompression - The disclosure relates to a system and a method for hardware encoding and decoding according to the Limpel Ziv STAC (LZS) and Deflate protocols based upon a configuration bit. | 09-26-2013 |
20140032607 | Content Search Mechanism That Uses A Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) Graph, A DFA State Machine, And A Walker Process - An improved content search mechanism uses a graph that includes intelligent nodes avoids the overhead of post processing and improves the overall performance of a content processing application. An intelligent node is similar to a node in a DFA graph but includes a command. The command in the intelligent node allows additional state for the node to be generated and checked. This additional state allows the content search mechanism to traverse the same node with two different interpretations. By generating state for the node, the graph of nodes does not become exponential. It also allows a user function to be called upon reaching a node, which can perform any desired user tasks, including modifying the input data or position. | 01-30-2014 |

20150089251 | Method and Apparatus for Managing Global Chip Power on a Multicore System on Chip - According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding apparatus for controlling power in a multi-core processor chip include: accumulating, at a controller within the multi-core processor chip, one or more power estimates associated with multiple core processors within the multi-core processor chip. A global power threshold is determined based on a cumulative power estimate, the cumulative power estimate being determined based at least in part on the one or more power estimates accumulated. The controller causes power consumption at each of the core processors to be controlled based on the determined global power threshold. The controller may directly control power consumption at the core processors or may command the core processors to do so. | 03-26-2015 |
