Appeal No. 2002-0270
Application No. 09/099,584
We also agree with appellants, for the reasons presented in the Brief and Reply
Brief, that the rejection fails to show any description in Aho of determining whether a
computation in the instruction may be hoisted out of the loop along with a computation
in at least one other instruction in the lifetime of the at least one fixed processor
resource according to at least one hoisting criterion, also required by instant claim 2.
Further, since the remainder of the independent claims recite similar limitations
with respect to hoisting and fixed processor resources, we cannot sustain the section
102 rejection of any of the claims on appeal.
