A method for non-blocking multithreading, the method may include (a) providing, during a deep neural network (DNN) calculation iteration, to a shared computational resource, input information units related to multiple DNN threads; (b) determining whether to reduce a numerical precision of one or more DNN calculations related to at least one of the multiple DNN threads, and (c) executing, based on the determining, DNN calculations on at least some of the input information units to provide one or more results of the DNN processing.

Non-blocking simultaneous multithreading (NB-SMT)

NAND-based content addressable memory is provided with a memory cell including two programmable resistive elements, such as memristors. These memory cells can be used to provide a programmable resistive address decoder. Such decoders can improve computer hardware performance in various ways: 1) improved translation lookaside buffers, 2) improved cache memory, and 3) by eliminating physical addresses entirely.

Resistive address decoder and virtually addressed memory

A method and a device that includes a set of multiple pipeline stages, wherein the set of multiple pipeline stages is arranged to execute a first thread of instructions; multiple memristor based registers that are arranged to store a state of another thread of instructions that differs from the first thread of instructions; and a control circuit that is arranged to control a thread switch between the first thread of instructions and the other thread of instructions by controlling a storage of a state of the first thread of instructions at the multiple memristor based registers and by controlling a provision of the state of the other thread of instructions by the set of multiple pipeline stages; wherein the set of multiple pipeline stages is arranged to execute the other thread of instructions upon a reception of the state of the other thread of instructions.
