摘要:
A processor may be built with cores that only execute some partial set of the instructions needed to be fully backwards compliant. Thus, in some embodiments power consumption may be reduced by providing partial cores that only execute certain instructions and not other instructions. The instructions not supported may be handled in other, more energy efficient ways, so that, the overall processor, including the partial core, may be fully backwards compliant.

A social network may be established between mobile nodes using a wireless connection. Establishing the social network may be based on an estimated time duration of the wireless connection. In one or more embodiments, establishing the social network may also be based on a similarity of interests among of users of the nodes.

A disclosed speech processor includes a front end to receive a speech input and generate a feature vector indicative of a portion of the speech input and a Gaussian mixture (GMM) circuit to receive the feature vector, model any one of a plurality of GMM speech recognition algorithms, and generate a GMM score for the feature vector based on the GMM speech recognition algorithm modeled. In at least one embodiment, the GMM circuit includes a common compute block to generate feature a vector sum indicative of a weighted sum of differences squares between the feature vector and a mixture component of the GMM speech recognition algorithm. In at least one embodiment, the GMM speech recognition algorithm being modeled includes a plurality of Gaussian mixture components and the common compute block is operable to generate feature vector scores corresponding to each of the plurality of mixture components.

A system and method for detecting human skin tone in one or more images. The system includes an image processing module configured to receive an image and provide contrast enhancement of the image so as to compensate for background illumination in the image. The image processing module is further configured to detect and identify regions of the contrast-enhanced image containing human skin tone based, at least in part, on the utilization of multiple color spaces and adaptively generated thresholds for each color space. A system and method consistent with the present disclosure is configure to provide accurate detection of human skin tone while accounting for variations in skin appearance due to a variety of factors, including background illumination and objects.

Systems and methods may provide for determining whether a memory access request is error-tolerant, and routing the memory access request to a reliable memory region if the memory access request is error-tolerant. Moreover, the memory access request may be routed to an unreliable memory region if the memory access request is error-tolerant. In one example, use of the unreliable memory region enables a reduction in the minimum operating voltage level for a die containing the reliable and unreliable memory regions.

An instruction pipeline implemented on a semiconductor chip is described. The semiconductor chip includes an execution unit having the following to execute an interrupt handling instruction. Storage circuitry to hold different sets of micro-ops where each set of micro-ops is to handle a different interrupt. First logic circuitry to execute a set of said sets of micro-ops to handle an interrupt that said set is designed for. Second logic circuitry to return program flow to an invoking program upon said first logic circuitry having handled said interrupt.
摘要:
An apparatus, method, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the apparatus includes a cache memory, which a number of sets. Each of the sets in the cache memory have several cache lines. The apparatus also includes at least one process resource table. The process resource table maintains a cache line occupancy count of a number of cache lines. Specifically, the cache line occupancy count for each cache line describes the number of cache lines in the cache storing information utilized by a process running on a computer system. Additionally, the process resource table stores the occupancy count of less cache lines than the total number of cache lines in the cache memory.
