Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for predicting the LKB1 status of a patient or a biological sample, comprising the measurement of particular gene expression levels relative to a set of reference levels that represent the gene expression level of a biological wild-type sample without LKB1 gene or protein loss or mutation and the gene expression level of a reference sample with LKB1 gene or protein loss or mutation. Further provided herein are methods for treating and/or preventing a cancer or a tumor syndrome in a patient, comprising administering an effective amount of a TOR kinase inhibitor to a patient having cancer or a tumor syndrome, characterized by particular gene expression levels.
Abstract:
Methods of operating an instruction cache memory in a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system executes instructions and stores and receives data from a memory having locations in a memory space. The entries of the instruction cache memory include a number of sets (nsets), where each of the sets comprise a number of ways (nways). One or more first instructions may be executed to load one or more instructions into a first way of the instruction cache memory. One or more second instructions may be executed to lock the first way of the instruction cache memory. A sequence of instructions may be executed including the one or more instructions loaded in the first way of the instruction cache memory, and it may be predetermined that the one or more instructions loaded in the first way of the instruction cache memory will executed without retrieving the one or more instructions from the memory during execution of the sequence of instructions. The instruction cache memory may be controlled by a control register in a register space separate from the memory space. The one or more second instructions may include a PUT instruction for writing information to the control register that controls the locking of the instruction cache memory. The sequence of instructions including the one or more instructions loaded in the first way of the instruction cache memory may be executed in a manner where it is predetermined that the one or more instructions loaded in the first way of the instruction cache memory will be executed during execution of the sequence of instructions without a cache miss.
Abstract:
Methods and an apparatus for buffering write operations are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processing system bursts data to a bus. The processing system includes a memory cache, a write buffer unit, and a control unit. The memory cache produces an address and data. Included in the write buffer unit are a plurality of data locations coupled to the memory cache. The control unit directs the first data to any of the plurality of data locations.

Provided herein are methods for treating and/or preventing a cancer or a tumor syndrome in a patient, comprising administering an effective amount of a TOR kinase inhibitor to a patient having cancer or a tumor syndrome, characterized by a LKB1 and/or AMPK gene or protein loss or mutation.
Abstract:
A programmable characterization-debug-test engine (PCDTE) on an integrated circuit chip. The PCDTE includes an instruction memory that receives and stores instructions provided on a chip interface, and a configuration memory that receives and stores configuration values provided on the chip interface. The PCDTE also includes a controller that configures a plurality of address counters and data registers in response to the configuration values. The controller also executes the instructions, wherein read/write addresses and write data are retrieved from the counters in response to the instructions. The retrieved read/write addresses and write data are used to access a memory under test. Multiple ports of the memory under test may be simultaneously accessed. Multiple instructions may be linked. The instructions may specify special counting functions within the counters and/or specify integrated (linked) counters. The PCDTE may transmit information off of the chip to exercise transmit/receive circuitry of the chip.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods of treating, preventing and/or managing cancers, which comprise administering to a patient 3-(5-amino-2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit may include a packet decoder to receive serial data and to decode JTAG signals from the packets received. A JTAG processor may test the electrical circuitry dependent on the JTAG signals decoded. In a further embodiment, a test system may include a library of selectable JTAG routines. An encoder may encode a signal with serial data representative of sequential JTAG signals for at least one of the selectable JTAG routines. In a method of testing, the integrated circuit may receive the serial data signal at a predetermined terminal. A portion of the serial data may be examined to determine the presence of a predefined signature key. JTAG data may then be parsed from the serial data and tests performed based on the parsed JTAG data.
Abstract:
Methods of managing a cache memory system in a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system executes instructions and stores and receives data from a memory having locations in a memory space. The entries of the cache memory are in locations in a register space separate from the memory space. A first instruction that operates only on locations in a register space but not on locations in memory space may be executed to obtain address information from at least one entry of the cache memory. The obtained address information be compared with target address information. If the comparison between the obtained address information and the target address information results in a correspondence, then a first operation may be performed on the entry of the cache memory. If the comparison between the obtained address information and the target address information does not result in a correspondence, then the fit first operations not performed on the entry of the cache memory. Management operations may thus be performed on the cache memory without using locations in memory space. The first operation may include invalidate, flush or purge operations. The cache memory may be a virtual cache memory that has a plurality of entries each including physical address information and logical address information. The obtained address information, may be logical address information or physical address information. The first instruction may be a GET instruction for reading information from entries of the translation lookaside buffer or the cache memory. The second instruction may be a PUT instruction for writing information to entries of the translation lookaside buffer or the cache memory.
