Hanger and method for routing a hot melt hose

A hanger and method for routing a hot melt hose adjacent to a structure includes a body having a through hole for receiving the hot melt hose. The through hole defines an inner surface adapted to support the hot melt hose without generally deforming the hot melt hose. The hanger also includes at least one of either a groove on the inner surface or a passage extending through the body for positioning the tie device. As such, the body is adapted to be supported by the tie device mounted to the structure. The hanger further spaces the hot melt hose from the adjacent structure. Thus, mechanical and thermal stresses may be minimized by supporting and spacing the hot melt hose from the adjacent structure without generally deforming the hot melt hose.

Speculative retirement of post-lock instructions

Techniques for improving execution of a lock instruction are provided herein. A lock instruction and younger instructions are allowed to speculatively retire prior to the store portion of the lock instruction committing its value to memory. These instructions thus do not have to wait for the lock instruction to complete before retiring. In the event that the processor detects a violation of the atomic or fencing properties of the lock instruction prior to committing the value of the lock instruction, the processor rolls back state and executes the lock instruction in a slow mode in which younger instructions are not allowed to retire until the stored value of the lock instruction is committed. Speculative retirement of these instructions results in increased processing speed, as instructions no longer need to wait to retire after execution of a lock instruction.

Techniques for handling cache coherency traffic for contended semaphores

The techniques described herein improve cache traffic performance in the context of contended lock instructions. More specifically, each core maintains a lock address contention table that stores addresses corresponding to contended lock instructions. The lock address contention table also includes a state value that indicates progress through a series of states meant to track whether a load by the core in a spin-loop associated with semaphore acquisition has obtained the semaphore in an exclusive state. Upon detecting that a load in a spin-loop has obtained the semaphore in an exclusive state, the core responds to incoming requests for access to the semaphore with negative acknowledgments. This allows the core to maintain the semaphore cache line in an exclusive state, which allows it to acquire the semaphore faster and to avoid transmitting that cache line to other cores unnecessarily.

Consented identity as a service

A server includes an identity certainty model, which has permutation ensembled weights. The server receives a plurality of data access consent receipts from an external consent repository. Based on the data access consent receipts, the server retrieves a plurality of data types from one or more data providers. The server executes the identity certainty model on the data types. The server performs an ID resolution operation on the data types. Using data outputs produced by the ID resolution operation, the server calculates metrics from the ID resolution operation. A weighting of the data outputs produced by the metrics calculations is performed using the permutation ensembled weights. An identity protection score and a risk score are determined based on the weighted data outputs. An optimization operation is performed on the identity protection score and the risk score to determine an identity certainty score.

System and method for load fusion

A system and method for load fusion fuses small load operations into fewer, larger load operations. The system detects that a pair of adjacent operations are consecutive load operations, where the adjacent micro-operations refers to micro-operations flowing through adjacent dispatch slots and the consecutive load micro-operations refers to both of the adjacent micro-operations being load micro-operations. The consecutive load operations are then reviewed to determine if the data sizes are the same and if the load operation addresses are consecutive. The two load operations are then fused together to form one load micro-operation with twice the data size and one load data micro-operation with no load component.

Configurable skewed associativity in a translation lookaside buffer

Methods, devices, and systems for determining an address in a physical memory which corresponds to a virtual address using a skewed-associative translation lookaside buffer (TLB) are described. A virtual address and a configuration indication are received using receiver circuitry. A physical address corresponding to the virtual address is output if a TLB hit occurs. A first subset of a plurality of ways of the TLB is configured to hold a first page size. The first subset includes a number of the ways based on the configuration indication. A physical address corresponding to the virtual address is retrieved from a page table if a TLB miss occurs, and at least a portion of the physical address is installed in a least recently used way of a subset of a plurality of ways the TLB, determined according to a replacement policy based on the configuration indication.

Filovirus antibody

The present invention addresses a need for antibodies useful for filovirus infections.

System and method for a lightweight fencing operation

A system and method for a lightweight fence is described. In particular, micro-operations including a fencing micro-operation are dispatched to a load queue. The fencing micro-operation allows micro-operations younger than the fencing micro-operation to execute, where the micro-operations are related to a type of fencing micro-operation. The fencing micro-operation is executed if the fencing micro-operation is the oldest memory access micro-operation, where the oldest memory access micro-operation is related to the type of fencing micro-operation. The fencing micro-operation determines whether micro-operations younger than the fencing micro-operation have load ordering violations and if load ordering violations are detected, the fencing micro-operation signals the retire queue that instructions younger than the fencing micro-operation should be flushed. The instructions to be flushed should include all micro-operations with load ordering violations.
