20140282564 | THREAD-SUSPENDING EXECUTION BARRIER - An energy-efficient execution barrier for parallel processing is provided. The execution barrier associates a thread-execution bit with each hardware-supported thread. The energy-efficient execution barrier utilizes a per-processor or per-chip bit vector register, having, for example, one bit per possible thread. A bit enables or disables the execution of its corresponding thread. A process starts by forking threads and enabling them in the bit vector register. When a thread arrives at the barrier/rendezvous, the thread disables its own bit and therefore suspends thread execution. When a distinguished thread arrives at the barrier, it waits (e.g., spinlocks) until all the threads needed for the rendezvous are disabled. The distinguished thread (or an automatic thread re-enable mechanism) then atomically sets all threads bits in the bit vector register to enabled, and the threads perform any appropriate sync operations and continue. | 09-18-2014 |

20150046658 | CACHE ORGANIZATION AND METHOD - A method and information processing system with improved cache organization is provided. Each register capable of accessing memory has associated metadata, which contains the tag, way, and line for a corresponding cache entry, along with a valid bit, allowing a memory access which hits a location in the cache to go directly to the cache's data array, avoiding the need to look up the address in the cache's tag array. When a cache line is evicted, any metadata referring to the line is marked as invalid. By reducing the number of tag lookups performed to access data in a cache's data array, the power that would otherwise be consumed by performing tag lookups is saved, thereby reducing power consumption of the information processing system, and the cache area needed to implement a cache having a desired level of performance may be reduced. | 02-12-2015 |

20090273893 | NOTEBOOK COMPUTER WITH TILTING KEYBOARD VENT - A notebook computer with a tilting keyboard, which opens a vent when tilted, solves multiple problems and may further materially contribute to countering terrorism. A tilted position of the keyboard allows the vent to open when the notebook lid is open, thereby providing extra cooling capacity during periods of computer use when there is a lessened need for compactness. The vent is it least partially closed when the keyboard is in the stowed position and the lid is closed, thereby reducing the possibility of debris ingestion when air flow needs are reduced and the need for compactness is increased. A security inspection position of the keyboard enables inspection of the inside of the computer, for example as part of a security checkpoint procedure. A negative tilt can reduce wrist strain and repetitive motion injuries for some users. Some embodiments tilt the keyboard automatically in response to the lid opening, and stow the keyboard automatically in response to the lid being closed. | 11-05-2009 |
