INVERTING AMPLIFIER RECEIVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK VOLTAGE IN VOLTAGE REGULATOR

In the example of a voltage regulator outputting a negative voltage, its feedback voltage will also be negative. The feedback voltage is typically created using a resistor divider. A controller IC is powered by only a positive voltage and receives the negative feedback voltage at a high impedance input of an inverting amplifier. Therefore, the inverting amplifier does not load the resistor divider, resulting in an accurate regulated output voltage. The inverting amplifier converts the negative feedback voltage to a positive feedback voltage for further processing by the controller IC. An error amplifier and a power good monitor receive both the original feedback voltage and the inverted feedback voltage and use whichever feedback voltage is the more positive one. Therefore, the controller IC may be used in voltage regulators that generate either negative or positive output voltages. 1.

Instruction elimination through hardware driven memoization of loop instances

Methods and apparatus for instruction elimination through hardware driven memoization of loop instances. A hardware-based loop memoization technique learns repeating sequences of loops and transparently removes instructions for the loop instructions from instruction sequences while making their output available to dependent instructions as if the loop instructions had been executed. A path-based predictor is implemented at the front-end to predict these loop instances and remove their instructions from instruction sequences. A novel memoization prediction micro-operation (Uop) is inserted into the instruction sequence for instances of loops that are predicted to be memoized. The memoization prediction Uop is used to compare the input signature (expected set of input values for the loop) with the actual signature to determine correct and incorrect predictions. The input signature learnt is based on all live-ins of a loop, both explicit register-based live-ins as well as loads to memory in the loop body that determine code path and outputs.

Method and system for image processing and classifying target entities within image

A method of image processing and classifying target entities with an image is disclosed that may include applying a contrast amplification procedure to a Lightness parameter associated with an input image, to amplify contrast of the input image and obtain an amplified-contrast image. The method may further include de-noising the amplified-contrast image by iteratively performing on the amplified-contrast image a blur correction, an erosion correction, and a dilation correction, to obtain a de-noised image corresponding to the amplified-contrast image. The method may further include determining edges of each of one or more target entities associated with the input image from the de-noised image and identifying the one or more target entities associated with the input image based on the identified edges, to generate a contoured image. The method may further include classifying the one or more target entities into one or more predefined classes, using a classification model.

Instruction set architecture and microarchitecture for early pipeline re-steering using load address prediction to mitigate branch misprediction penalties

Methods and apparatus relating to Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and/or microarchitecture for early pipeline re-steering using load address prediction to mitigate branch misprediction penalties are described. In an embodiment, decode circuitry decodes a load instruction and Load Address Predictor (LAP) circuitry issues a load prefetch request to memory for data for a load operation ofthe load instruction. Compute circuitry executes an outcome for a branch operation of the load instruction based on the data from the load prefetch request. And re-steering circuitry transmits a signal to cause flushing of data associated with the load instruction in response to a mismatch between the outcome for the branch operation and a stored prediction value for the branch. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Verfahren und Einrichtungen in Bezug auf eine Befehlssatzarchitektur (ISA) und/oder Mikroarchitektur zum frühen Pipeline-Umsteuern unter Verwendung von Ladeadressenvorhersage zum Abschwächen von Einbußen aufgrund von fehlerhaften Verzweigungsvorhersagen sind beschrieben. In einer Ausführungsform decodiert die Decodierschaltungsanordnung einen Ladebefehl, und eine Ladeadressenprädiktor- bzw.

De-prioritizing speculative code lines in on-chip caches

Methods and apparatus relating to de-prioritizing speculative code lines in on-chip caches are described. In an embodiment, logic circuitry determines whether a storage structure includes a reference to a code miss request prior to transmission of the code miss request to a shared cache. The logic circuitry causes de-prioritization of a code line, corresponding to the code miss request, in the shared cache in response to an absence of the reference in the storage structure. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Inverting amplifier receiving negative feedback voltage in voltage regulator

In the example of a voltage regulator outputting a negative voltage, its feedback voltage will also be negative. The feedback voltage is typically created using a resistor divider. A controller IC is powered by only a positive voltage and receives the negative feedback voltage at a high impedance input of an inverting amplifier. Therefore, the inverting amplifier does not load the resistor divider, resulting in an accurate regulated output voltage. The inverting amplifier converts the negative feedback voltage to a positive feedback voltage for further processing by the controller IC. An error amplifier and a power good monitor receive both the original feedback voltage and the inverted feedback voltage and use whichever feedback voltage is the more positive one. Therefore, the controller IC may be used in voltage regulators that generate either negative or positive output voltages.
