ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,411,659, issued on Sept. 9, was assigned to University of Louisiana at Lafayette (Lafayette, La.).

"Context-aware bit-stream generator for deterministic stochastic computing" was invented by Sina Asadi (Lafayette, La.) and Mohammad Hassan Najafi (Lafayette, La.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed herein are three context-aware architectures to accelerate the three state-of-the-art deterministic methods of SC. The proposed designs employ a control unit to extract the minimum bit-width required to precisely represent each input data. The lengths of bit-streams are reduced to the minimum lengths required to precisely represent each in...
