20080209171 | System and Method For Managing a Register-Based Stack of Operand Tags - A virtual machine in a processing system manages type information for operands. In one embodiment, the virtual machine accomplishes the following results through execution of a single instruction: adding an operand tag to a tag stack, and updating a stack pointer for the tag stack to recognize the addition of the operand tag to the tag stack. The single instruction may be a shift instruction, for example. The tag stack may reside in a tag stack register, and each operand tag may indicate whether a corresponding operand on an operand stack is to be treated as a reference operand or a non-reference operand. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 08-28-2008 |
20080244354 | Apparatus and method for redundant multi-threading with recovery - A method and apparatus for reducing the effect of soft errors in a computer system is provided. Soft errors are detected by combining software redundant threading and instruction duplication. Upon detection of a soft error, errors are recovered through the use of software check pointing/rollback technology. Reliable regions are identified by vulnerability profiling and redundant multi-threading is applied to the identified reliable regions. | 10-02-2008 |
20090064120 | Method and apparatus to achieve maximum outer level parallelism of a loop - In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for constructing a data dependency graph (DDG) for a loop to be transformed, performing statement shifting to transform the loop into a first transformed loop according to at least one of first and second algorithms, performing unimodular and echelon transformations of a selected one of the first or second transformed loops, partitioning the selected transformed loop to obtain maximum outer level parallelism (MOLP), and partitioning the selected transformed loop into multiple sub-loops. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 03-05-2009 |
20100031270 | HEAP MANAGER FOR A MULTITASKING VIRTUAL MACHINE - A multitasking virtual machine is described. The multitasking virtual machine may comprise an execution engine to concurrently execute a plurality of tasks. The multitasking virtual machine may further comprise a heap organization coupled to the execution engine. The heap organization may comprise a system heap to store system data accessible by the plurality of tasks; and a plurality of task heaps. Each of the plurality of task heaps may be assigned to each of the plurality of tasks to store task data accessible by the assigned task. The multitasking virtual machine may further comprise a heap manager to manage the heap organization. The heap manager may comprise a heap size controller to control heap size of the system heap. | 02-04-2010 |
20100050174 | HEAP ORGANIZATION FOR A MULTITASKING VIRTUAL MACHINE - A heap organization for a multitasking virtual machine is described. The heap organization may comprise an execution engine to concurrently execute a plurality of tasks and a plurality of heaps coupled to the execution engine. In some embodiments, the plurality of heaps may comprise a system heap and a task heap separated from the system heap. The system heap may store system data accessible by the plurality of tasks. The task heap may store task data only accessible by one task of the plurality of tasks. | 02-25-2010 |
20130346978 | ACCESSING A DEVICE ON A REMOTE MACHINE - Disclosed is a method that may include hosting, by a virtual machine manager of a local machine, a virtual machine having a device driver. The method may include obtaining, by the virtual machine manager, from a stub driver on the remote machine, information about the I/O device on the remote machine. The I/O device on the remote machine may be bound to the stub driver on the remote machine. The method may include instantiating, by the virtual machine manager, a virtual I/O device on the local machine corresponding to the I/O device on the remote machine. The method may include collaborating, by the virtual machine manager, with the stub driver on the remote machine to effectuate a real access to the I/O device on the remote machine for an access to the virtual I/O device by the device driver on behalf of a program on the local machine. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. | 12-26-2013 |
20140184489 | OPEN ANGLE DETECTION AND PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Embodiments of techniques and apparatus for open angle detection and processing are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a first panel having a display, a second panel movably coupled with the first panel. The first and second panels variably define an angle between these two panels. One or more sensors may be disposed in the apparatus and configured to detect an angle change event of the variable angle between two panels. The angle changing information may be used by an application to vary output of the application onto the display. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. | 07-03-2014 |
20140196066 | Data Highlighting and Extraction - We are facing an explosion in availability of online content, in particular accessing audio, video, and other data is considered to be driving the expansion of the Internet to accommodate access needs. However, time availability for accessing such data remains constrained and it is becoming more imperative that a technology be utilized to package the data for example, as a Collective Cut, to facilitate its consumption by pre-identifying portions of the data that are expected to be interesting to a consumer. Such packaging has many possibilities. For example, in the audio context, audio data could be presented to a consumer with specific portions of an audio presentation highlighted as the best portions to listen to if the consumer lacks sufficient time to listen to the entire presentation. In the video context, video highlights for a movie or other consumable data may be provided, allowing a consumer to electively skip through the highlights if there is insufficient time and/or interest in viewing the entire presentation. | 07-10-2014 |
20140206288 | DEVICE, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR SECURELY PAIRING MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICES USING MOVEMENT - A device, method, and system for securely pairing mobile communication devices using device movement includes capturing a begin movement, capturing arbitrary pairing movement, and capturing an end movement. The mobile communication devices verify that they are within a secure range during the pairing process. The captured pairing movement may be normalized, depending on the relative orientation of the mobile communication devices. The captured pairing movement data of each mobile communication device is compared. If the captured pairing movement data matches, then the mobile communication devices are successfully paired. | 07-24-2014 |
20140379946 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INPUT SHARING BETWEEN MULTIPLE DEVICES - An apparatus may include a processor arranged to receive an input signal from an input device and a first event conversion module. The first event conversion module may receive an input event from the input device as an operating system (OS)-specific event arranged in a format operable by a first operating system, convert the OS-specific event into a converted event having an OS-independent format, and dispatch the converted event for processing. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed. | 12-25-2014 |
