It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

  • Recent International Trade Commission Representations
    Recent International Trade Commission Representations Certain Mobile Electronic Devices and Radio Frequency and Processing Components Thereof (II), Inv. No. 337-TA-1093 (ITC 2019). Quinn Emanuel was lead counsel for Qualcomm in a patent infringement action against Apple in the International Trade Commission. Qualcomm alleged that Apple engaged in the unlawful importation and sale of iPhones that infringe one or more claims of five Qualcomm patents covering key technologies that enable important features and function in the iPhones. After a seven day hearing, Administrative Law Judge McNamara issued an Initial Determination finding for Qualcomm on all issues related to claim 1 of U.S. Patent 8,063,674 related to an improved “Power on Control” circuit. ALJ McNamara recommended that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order with respect to the accused iPhone devices. Although the case settled shortly after AJ McNamara recommended the exclusion order, the order would have resulted in the exclusion of all iPhones and iPads without Qualcomm baseband processors from being imported into the United States. Certain Magnetic Tape Cartridges and Components Thereof Inv. No. 337-TA-1058 (ITC 2019): We represented Sony in a multifront battle against Fujifilm arising from Fujifilm’s anticompetitive conduct seeking to exclude Sony from the Linear Tape-Open magnetic tape market. LTO tape products are used to store large quantities of data by companies in a wide range of industries, including health care, education, finance and banking. Sony filed a complaint in the ITC seeking an exclusion order of Fujifilm’s products based on its infringement of three Sony patents covering various aspects of magnetic data storage technology.

    OpenGL® Shading Language, Second Edition By Randi J. Rost ............................................... Publisher: Addison Wesley Professional Pub Date: January 25, 2006 Print ISBN-10: 0-321-33489-2 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-321-33489-3 Pages: 800 Table of Contents | Index "As the 'Red Book' is known to be the gold standard for OpenGL, the 'Orange Book' is considered to be the gold standard for the OpenGL Shading Language. With Randi's extensive knowledge of OpenGL and GLSL, you can be assured you will be learning from a graphics industry veteran. Within the pages of the second edition you can find topics from beginning shader development to advanced topics such as the spherical harmonic lighting model and more." David Tommeraasen, CEO/Programmer, Plasma Software "This will be the definitive guide for OpenGL shaders; no other book goes into this detail. Rost has done an excellent job at setting the stage for shader development, what the purpose is, how to do it, and how it all fits together. The book includes great examples and details, and good additional coverage of 2.0 changes!" Jeffery Galinovsky, Director of Emerging Market Platform Development, Intel Corporation "The coverage in this new edition of the book is pitched just right to help many new shader- writers get started, but with enough deep information for the 'old hands.'" Marc Olano, Assistant Professor, University of Maryland "This is a really great book on GLSLwell written and organized, very accessible, and with good real-world examples and sample code. The topics flow naturally and easily, explanatory code fragments are inserted in very logical places to illustrate concepts, and all in all, this book makes an excellent tutorial as well as a reference."

Pennington Submitted to the System Design and Management Program on August 7, 2020 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in System Design and Management ABSTRACT A major method of acquiring the rights to technology is through the procurement of intellectual property (IP), which allow companies to both extend their technological advantage while denying it to others. Public databases such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) track this exchange of technology rights. Thus, IP can be used as a public measure of value accumulation in the form of technology rights.

YAHOO FINANCE Scientists using GPU computing were able to “see” gravitational waves for the first time in human history. Twenty-five years ago, we set out to transform computer graphics. Fueled by the massive growth of the gaming market and its insatiable demand for better 3D graphics, we’ve evolved the GPU into a computer brain at the intersection of virtual reality, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence. NVIDIA GPU computing has become the essential tool of the da Vincis and Einsteins of our time. For them, we’ve built the equivalent of a time machine. Jensen Huang CEO and Founder, NVIDIA Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as captured by NVIDIA Ansel, a powerful in-game camera that lets users take professional- grade photographs of their games. NVIDIA GEFORCE HAS MOVED FROM GRAPHICS CARD TO GAMING PLATFORM. FORBES At $100 billion, computer gaming is the world’s largest entertainment industry. And with 200 million gamers, NVIDIA GeForce is its largest platform. We continuously innovate across the GeForce platform, from GeForce GTX GPUs to GeForce Experience, and in new technologies like Max-Q that make gaming laptops thinner, quieter and faster. And we’re opening high-end gaming and blockbuster titles to millions of users for the first time with NVIDIA GeForce NOW, a cloud-based service that turns everyday PC and Mac laptops into virtual GeForce gaming machines.
