TRACKING STREAMING ENGINE VECTOR PREDICATES TO CONTROL PROCESSOR EXECUTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460772 titled 'TRACKING STREAMING ENGINE VECTOR PREDICATES TO CONTROL PROCESSOR EXECUTION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for operating a computer system using an instruction loop executed by a processor. The loop accesses a current data vector and its associated vector predicate. The loop is repeated as long as the current data vector contains valid data elements, and it is exited when the current data vector contains no valid data elements.

  • The method involves executing an instruction loop on a computer system.
  • Each iteration of the loop accesses a current data vector and its associated vector predicate.
  • The loop continues as long as the current data vector contains at least one valid data element.
  • The loop is exited when the current data vector contains no valid data elements.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be used in various computer systems and applications that require processing data vectors.
  • It can be applied in data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence algorithms.
  • It can be used in real-time systems where efficient processing of data vectors is crucial.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently processing data vectors by using a loop that checks the validity of data elements.
  • It ensures that only valid data elements are processed, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the system.
  • The method provides a mechanism to exit the loop when no valid data elements are present, saving computational resources.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in processing data vectors.
  • Reduction in computational resources by exiting the loop when no valid data elements are present.
  • Increased flexibility in handling different types of data vectors and their associated predicates.


Original Abstract Submitted

In a method of operating a computer system, an instruction loop is executed by a processor in which each iteration of the instruction loop accesses a current data vector and an associated current vector predicate. The instruction loop is repeated when the current vector predicate indicates the current data vector contains at least one valid data element and the instruction loop is exited when the current vector predicate indicates the current data vector contains no valid data elements.
