20130311754 | FUSING CONDITIONAL WRITE INSTRUCTIONS HAVING OPPOSITE CONDITIONS IN INSTRUCTION PROCESSING CIRCUITS, AND RELATED PROCESSOR SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA - Fusing conditional write instructions having opposite conditions in instruction processing circuits and related processor systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first conditional write instruction writing a first value to a target register based on evaluating a first condition is detected by an instruction processing circuit. The circuit also detects a second conditional write instruction writing a second value to the target register based on evaluating a second condition that is a logical opposite of the first condition. Either the first condition or the second condition is selected as a fused instruction condition, and corresponding values are selected as if-true and if-false values. A fused instruction is generated for selectively writing the if-true value to the target register if the fused instruction condition evaluates to true, and selectively writing the if-false value to the target register if the fused instruction condition evaluates to false. | 11-21-2013 |
20140047221 | FUSING FLAG-PRODUCING AND FLAG-CONSUMING INSTRUCTIONS IN INSTRUCTION PROCESSING CIRCUITS, AND RELATED PROCESSOR SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA - Fusing flag-producing and flag-consuming instructions in instruction processing circuits and related processor systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, a flag-producing instruction indicating a first operation generating a first flag result is detected in an instruction stream by an instruction processing circuit. The instruction processing circuit also detects a flag-consuming instruction in the instruction stream indicating a second operation consuming the first flag result as an input. The instruction processing circuit generates a fused instruction indicating the first operation generating the first flag result and indicating the second operation consuming the first flag result as the input. In this manner, as a non-limiting example, the fused instruction eliminates a potential for a read-after-write hazard between the flag-producing instruction and the flag-consuming instruction. | 02-13-2014 |
20140149722 | Fusing Immediate Value, Write-Based Instructions in Instruction Processing Circuits, and Related Processor Systems, Methods, and Computer-Readable Media - Fusing immediate value, write-based instructions in instruction processing circuits, and related processor systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first instruction indicating an operation writing an immediate value to a register is detected by an instruction processing circuit. The circuit also detects at least one subsequent instruction indicating an operation that overwrites at least one first portion of the register while maintaining a value of a second portion of the register. The at least one subsequent instruction is converted (or replaced) with a fused instruction(s), which indicates an operation writing the at least one first portion and the second portion of the register. In this manner, conversion of multiple instructions for generating a constant into the fused instruction(s) removes the potential for a read-after-write hazard and associated consequences caused by dependencies between certain instructions, while reducing a number of clock cycles required to process the instructions. | 05-29-2014 |

20130026816 | LIGHT-WEIGHT VEHICLE WHEELS WITH CARBON FIBER INSERTS - Application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer structures to metal vehicle wheels is effective in reducing the mass of the wheel while retaining suitable stiffness in the wheel structure. For maximum effect the reinforced polymer structure and the metal wheel must operate cooperatively. Because of the wide range of operating temperatures experienced by wheels and the large difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between metals and carbon fiber reinforced composites attachment of the polymer structure to the wheel by adhesive alone is problematical. However a wheel with an effective and durable reinforcement may be fabricated by confining, through mechanical interference, the reinforced polymer in a cavity in or on the spoke and by preheating the wheel before curing the polymer. | 01-31-2013 |

20110233867 | Telephone texting word game - The present invention relates to a word game utilizing playing pieces designed to represent the keys of a telephone. The object of the game is to form words from these playing pieces. The present invention is different from other word games, in that the players can use all the playing pieces associated with the game and all the playing pieces are face-up. When playing previous word games, a player could only use the playing pieces dealt them or picked blindly from a box. The remaining playing pieces in the game remained hidden. This limited choice of letters in other games could be frustrating to a player. The present invention solves this dilemma, by allowing the players to use all the playing pieces and further, all the playing pieces are placed face-up for all the players to see and use when playing the game. | 09-29-2011 |
