Voorbeeldzinnen

1. "Digital computers" having a "composite theoretical performance" ("CTP") exceeding 28000 million theoretical operations per second (Mtops ); or 2. "Electronic assemblies" specially designed or modified for enhancing performance by aggregation of "computing elements" ("CEs") so that the "CTP" of the aggregation exceeds the limit in 4E001.b.1. Technical note on "Composite Theoretical Performance" ("CTP") Abbreviations used in this Technical Note "CE" "computing element" (typically an arithmetic logical unit) FP floating point XP fixed point t execution time XOR exclusive OR CPU central processing unit TP theoretical performance (of a single "CE") "CTP" "composite theoretical performance" (multiple "CEs") R effective calculating rate WL word length L word length adjustment * multiply Execution time 't' is expressed in microseconds, TP and "CTP" are expressed in millions of theoretical operations per second (Mtops) and WL is expressed in bits. Outline of "CTP" calculation method "CTP" is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the "CTP" of an aggregation of "CEs" the following three steps are required: 1. Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each "CE"; 2. Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each "CE"; 3. If there is more than one "CE", combine the TPs, resulting in a "CTP" for the aggregation. Details for these steps are given in the following sections.
