ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,717,375, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to SiMa Technologies Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Reconvergent clock mesh for on-chip compute cluster" was invented by Sounil Biswas (San Jose, Calif.) and Harivinay Kancharla (Karnataka, India).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A compute cluster includes a compute mesh of interconnected compute elements. A clock mesh includes reconvergent elements, and the reconvergent clock mesh distributes a clock signal to the compute elements. The clock mesh has a topology of nodes connected by branches. Repeaters are located on the branches between nodes. As a result, the reconvergent clock mesh is unidirectional. ...
