The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to optimizing address calculations in a computer. This is achieved in a compiler that identifies an address calculation in code that is being compiled and transforms the code by splitting the address calculation into a first portion in which an offset is determined and a second portion, in which the offset is combined with a base pointer to generate an address. The address and the base pointer have a first bit-length, and the offset has a second bit-length shorter than the first bit-length. The offset is determined using an operation performed at the second bit-length. In some implementations the first bit-length is 64 bits and the second bit-length is 32 bits.

Method and system for optimizing address calculations

The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to optimizing memory access to constants in heterogeneous parallel computers, including systems that support OpenCL. This is achieved in an optimizing compiler that transforms program scope constants and constants at the outermost scope of kernels into implicit constant pointer arguments. The optimizing compiler also attempts to determine access patterns for constants at compile-time and places the constants in a variety of memory types available in a compute device architecture based on these access patterns.

Method and system for optimizing access to constant memory

A dielectric resonator antenna having a dielectric resonator element and a substrate assembly attached to the dielectric resonator element. The substrate assembly includes a feeding network arranged to: feed the dielectric resonator element to produce a first linearly-polarized omnidirectional radiation pattern at a first resonant mode, and feed the dielectric resonator element to produce a second linearly-polarized omnidirectional radiation pattern at a second resonant mode different from the first resonant mode.
