US Patent Issued to Drexel University on Aug. 5 for "On-chip voltage assignment through particle swarm optimization" (American, Indian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,379,767, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to Drexel University (Philadelphia).

"On-chip voltage assignment through particle swarm optimization" was invented by Divya Pathak (Karnataka, India) and Ioannis Savidis (Wallingford, Pa.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An on-chip voltage delivery method for a system includes multiple processor cores operating at multiple voltage levels. Distributed on-chip DC-DC converters as voltage regulators may deliver point of load current to the different units of a processor core operating at the same voltage level. Distributed timing sensors calibrated to generate digitized clock edge location. A power manag...
