FIXED POINT EARLY EXIT OF A LOOP WITHIN COMPUTER CODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17456426 titled 'FIXED POINT EARLY EXIT OF A LOOP WITHIN COMPUTER CODE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for early exit of a loop in computer code. Here is a simplified explanation:

  • The invention determines if a loop in computer code reaches a predefined fixed point of processing.
  • If the loop reaches the fixed point, the invention includes at least one indication in the loop to perform an early exit before the last iteration of the loop.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Software development: This innovation can be applied in various software development projects where loops are used, such as data processing, simulations, and optimization algorithms.
  • Performance optimization: By allowing early exit from loops, the invention can improve the efficiency and speed of code execution, particularly in cases where the fixed point is reached early.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reducing unnecessary iterations: The invention helps avoid unnecessary iterations in loops when the fixed point is already reached, saving computational resources and improving efficiency.
  • Simplifying code logic: By providing an early exit mechanism, the invention simplifies the code structure and makes it easier to understand and maintain.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance: Early exit from loops can significantly speed up code execution, leading to faster processing times and improved overall performance.
  • Resource efficiency: By avoiding unnecessary iterations, the invention reduces the computational resources required, making the code more efficient.
  • Code simplicity: The early exit mechanism simplifies the code logic, making it more readable, maintainable, and easier to debug.


Original Abstract Submitted

Early exit of a loop is performed. A determination is made as to whether a loop within computer code reaches a fixed point of processing, which is predefined. Based on determining that the loop reaches the fixed point of processing, at least one indication is included in the loop to perform an early exit of the loop prior to a last iteration of the loop.
