Dynamic voltage frequency scaling based on active memory barriers

Patent Bharadwaj, Vedula Venkata Srikant

A processing unit includes compute units partitioned into one or islands that are provided with operating voltages and clock signals having clock frequencies independent of providing operating voltages or clock signals to other islands of compute units. The processing unit also includes dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) hardware configured to compute one or more numbers of active memory barriers in the one or more islands. The DVFS hardware is also configured to modify the operating voltages or clock frequencies provided to the one or more islands in response to a change in numbers of active memory barriers in themore » « less

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling based on memory channel slack

Patent Das, Shomit N.; Punniyamurthy, Kishore

A processing system scales power to memory and memory channels based on identifying causes of stalls of threads of a wavefront. If the cause is other than an outstanding memory request, the processing system throttles power to the memory to save power. If the stall is due to memory stalls for a subset of the memory channels servicing memory access requests for threads of a wavefront, the processing system adjusts power of the memory channels servicing memory access request for the wavefront based on the subset. By boosting power to the subset of channels, the processing system enables the wavefrontmore » « less

Cloud computing method for dynamically scaling a process across physical machine boundaries

Patent Gillen, Robert E.; Patton, Robert M.; Potok, Thomas E.; ...

A cloud computing platform includes first device having a graph or tree structure with a node which receives data. The data is processed by the node or communicated to a child node for processing. A first node in the graph or tree structure determines the reconfiguration of a portion of the graph or tree structure on a second device. The reconfiguration may include moving a second node and some or all of its descendant nodes. The second and descendant nodes may be copied to the second device.

Methods, computer readable media, and graphical user interfaces for analysis of frequency selective surfaces

Patent Kotter, Dale K [Shelley, ID]; Rohrbaugh, David T [Idaho Falls, ID]

A frequency selective surface (FSS) and associated methods for modeling, analyzing and designing the FSS are disclosed. The FSS includes a pattern of conductive material formed on a substrate to form an array of resonance elements. At least one aspect of the frequency selective surface is determined by defining a frequency range including multiple frequency values, determining a frequency dependent permittivity across the frequency range for the substrate, determining a frequency dependent conductivity across the frequency range for the conductive material, and analyzing the frequency selective surface using a method of moments analysis at each of the multiple frequency valuesmore » « less

Control of plasma process by use of harmonic frequency components of voltage and current

Patent Miller, Paul A [Albuquerque, NM]; Kamon, Mattan [Cambridge, MA]

The present invention provides for a technique for taking advantage of the intrinsic electrical non-linearity of processing plasmas to add additional control variables that affect process performance. The technique provides for the adjustment of the electrical coupling circuitry, as well as the electrical excitation level, in response to measurements of the reactor voltage and current and to use that capability to modify the plasma characteristics to obtain the desired performance.
