Cornell University officials announced today (Jan. 4) that the university and the Cornell Research Foundation have filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York, asserting that the Hewlett-Packard Company infringed, and continues to infringe, a patent issued in 1989 basically to protect a computer instruction processing technique created by Professor Emeritus H.C. Torng of Cornell's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The invention protected by the patent (U.S. patent No. 4,807,115) substantially accelerates a computer's processing speed. More specifically, the patent involves a technique for computer processors with multiple functional units that permits multiple instructions to be issued per machine cycle and out of program order, thereby substantially increasing the efficiency and speed of the processors.
