20150245532 | SELF MODULATING AIR REGISTER TECHNOLOGY (SMART) FLOOR TILE FOR DATA CENTERS AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - This invention is a novel air supply register that modulates the incoming air supply from the under floor air duct. This air register is able to monitor the air temperature leaving the server stack thereby improving the response time of the HVAC system. Since the register has adjustable louvers that can modulate the inlet air flow into the server stack; it will save energy by reducing the supply air to the server stack when the cool incoming air is not needed. This reduces hot spots in the data center because the cool incoming air can be directed to server racks that need cooling. This self-modulation of the air register is not available in conventional floor registers. | 08-27-2015 |

20130185473 | Method for Filtering Traffic to a Physically-Tagged Data Cache - Embodiments of a data cache are disclosed that substantially decrease a number of accesses to a physically-tagged tag array of the data cache are provided. In general, the data cache includes a data array that stores data elements, a physically-tagged tag array, and a virtually-tagged tag array. In one embodiment, the virtually-tagged tag array receives a virtual address. If there is a match for the virtual address in the virtually-tagged tag array, the virtually-tagged tag array outputs, to the data array, a way stored in the virtually-tagged tag array for the virtual address. In addition, in one embodiment, the virtually-tagged tag array disables the physically-tagged tag array. Using the way output by the virtually-tagged tag array, a desired data element in the data array is addressed. | 07-18-2013 |
20130185520 | Determining Cache Hit/Miss of Aliased Addresses in Virtually-Tagged Cache(s), and Related Systems and Methods - Apparatuses and related systems and methods for determining cache hit/miss of aliased addresses in virtually-tagged cache(s) are disclosed. In one embodiment, virtual aliasing cache hit/miss detector for a VIVT cache is provided. The detector comprises a TLB configured to receive a first virtual address and a second virtual address from the VIVT cache resulting from an indexed read into the VIVT cache based on the first virtual address. The TLB is further configured to generate first and second physical addresses translated from the first and second virtual addresses, respectively, The detector further comprises a comparator configured to receive the first and second physical addresses and effectuate a generation of an aliased cache hit/miss indicator based on a comparison of the first and second physical addresses. In this manner, the virtual aliasing cache hit/miss detector correctly generates cache hits and cache misses, even in the presence of aliased addressing. | 07-18-2013 |
20130191559 | PREVENTING THE DISPLACEMENT OF HIGH TEMPORAL LOCALITY OF REFERENCE DATA FILL BUFFERS - The disclosure relates to accessing memory content with a high temporal locality of reference. An embodiment of the disclosure stores the content in a data buffer, determines that the content of the data buffer has a high temporal locality of reference, and accesses the data buffer for each operation targeting the content instead of a cache storing the content. | 07-25-2013 |

20080281996 | Latency Insensitive FIFO Signaling Protocol - Data from a source domain operating at a first data rate is transferred to a FIFO in another domain operating at a different data rate. The FIFO buffers data before transfer to a sink for further processing or storage. A source side counter tracks space available in the FIFO. In disclosed examples, the initial counter value corresponds to FIFO depth. The counter decrements in response to a data ready signal from the source domain, without delay. The counter increments in response to signaling from the sink domain of a read of data off the FIFO. Hence, incrementing is subject to the signaling latency between domains. The source may send one more beat of data when the counter indicates the FIFO is full. The last beat of data is continuously sent from the source until it is indicated that a FIFO position became available; effectively providing one more FIFO position. | 11-13-2008 |

20160055003 | BRANCH PREDICTION USING LEAST-RECENTLY-USED (LRU)-CLASS LINKED LIST BRANCH PREDICTORS, AND RELATED CIRCUITS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA - Branch prediction using Least-Recently-Used (LRU)-class linked list branch predictors, and related circuits, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one aspect, a branch predictor circuit comprises branch direction prediction logic and a linked list comprising a plurality of predictor entries, each comprising a link address register. The branch predictor circuit also comprises a LRU indicator indicative of a relative age of each of the predictor entries. The branch predictor circuit is configured to detect a first branch instruction in an instruction stream, and determine whether the first branch instruction is predicted to be taken. Responsive to determining that the first branch instruction is predicted to be taken, the branch predictor circuit allocates a least-recently-used entry of the plurality of predictor entries of the linked list based on the LRU indicator, and stores a sequential address for the first branch instruction in the link address register of the least-recently-used predictor entry. | 02-25-2016 |

20130082137 | RAIL RECOVERY SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT - The present invention's side-arm recovery system enables large Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) to operate from small vessels or from ground sites with a minimal footprint. The side-arm recovery system allows arresting an UAS independent of a runway. On the ground or on a ship, the system makes use of a specialized crane system that includes capture and energy absorption devices. A fuselage-mounted top hook snags a horizontal cable and the arresting forces act in the plane of symmetry through the central structure of the UAS. After the capture energy is absorbed, the recovery system safely lowers the aerial vehicle to a ground handling cart. The same system can be combined into a launcher and retriever system which further reduces the footprint by eliminating the need for a separate launcher. | 04-04-2013 |
