Hailo Technologies Assigned Patent

Hailo Technologies Ltd., Tel Aviv, Israel, has been assigned a patent (11461615) developed by Baum, Avi, Givat Shmuel, Israel, and Danon, Or, Kiryat Ono, Israel, for “system and method of memory access of multi-dimensional data.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A novel and useful system and method of accessing multi-dimensional data in memory. The invention is applicable to neural network (NN) processing engines adapted to implement artificial neural networks (ANNs). The NN processor is constructed from self-contained computational units organized in a hierarchical architecture. The homogeneity enables simpler management and control of similar computational units, aggregated in multiple levels of hierarchy. Computational units are designed with minimal overhead as possible, where additional features and capabilities are aggregated at higher levels in the hierarchy. On-chip memory provides storage for content inherently required for basic operation at a particular hierarchy and is coupled with the computational resources in an optimal ratio. Lean control provides just enough signaling to manage only the operations required at a particular hierarchical level. Dynamic resource assignment agility is provided which can be adjusted as required depending on resource availability and capa of the device.”

The patent application was filed on 2018-04-03 (15/943992).
