摘要:
Compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer disclosed herein. The method of the present invention comprises administration of compositions comprising β-glucan, a natural ligand for dectin-1, to block OX40L expression on tumor associated mDCs by blocking STAT6 phosphorylation. The β-glucan-treated mDCs secrete higher levels of IL-12p70 and do not expand TNFα and IL-13-producing CD4+ T cells, further resulting in inhibition of Th2 responses. Thus, compositions disclosed herein reprogram the function of mDCs in breast tumor microenvironment and turn tumor promoting Th2-type chronic inflammation into Th1-type acute inflammation that are able to reject tumors. The present invention finds particular uses for the intratumoral administration of the composition thereby directly binding to and directing a Th1-type acute inflammation.

A wireless device which performs a first-level compiler packing process and a second-level hardware packing process on varyings. The compiler packing process packs two or more shader variables (varyings or attributes) whose sum of components equals M into a shared M-dimensional (MD) vector register. The hardware packing consecutively packs M components of the shader variables (varyings or attributes) and any remaining variables into a vertex cache or other storage medium.

This disclosure describes techniques for extending the architecture of a general purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) with parallel processing units to allow efficient processing of pipeline-based applications. The techniques include configuring local memory buffers connected to parallel processing units operating as stages of a processing pipeline to hold data for transfer between the parallel processing units. The local memory buffers allow on-chip, low-power, direct data transfer between the parallel processing units. The local memory buffers may include hardware-based data flow control mechanisms to enable transfer of data between the parallel processing units. In this way, data may be passed directly from one parallel processing unit to the next parallel processing unit in the processing pipeline via the local memory buffers, in effect transforming the parallel processing units into a series of pipeline stages.

Techniques for dynamically configuring a texture cache are disclosed. During a texture mapping process of a three-dimensional (3D) graphics pipeline, if the batch is for single texture mapping, the texture cache is configured as a n-way set-associative texture cache. However, if the batch is for multi-texture mapping the n-way set-associated texture cache is divided into at n/M-way set-associative sub-caches where n and M are integers greater than 1 and n is divisible by M.

The system includes a shape buffer manager configured to store coverage data in the shape buffer. The coverage data indicates whether each mask pixel is a covered pixel or an uncovered pixel. A mask pixel is a covered pixel when a shape to be rendered on a screen covers the mask pixel such that one or more coverage criteria is satisfied and is an uncovered pixel when the shape does not cover the mask pixel such that the one or more coverage criteria are satisfied. A bounds primitive rasterizer is configured to rasterize a bounds primitive that bounds the shape. The bounds primitive is rasterized into primitive pixels that each corresponds to one of the mask pixels. A pixel screener is configured to employ the coverage data from the shape buffer to screen the primitive pixels into retained pixels and discarded pixels. The retained pixels each corresponds to a mask pixel that the coverage data indicates is a covered pixel and the discarded pixels each correspond to a mask pixels that the coverage data indicates is an uncovered pixel. The system also includes an attribute generator configured to generate pixel attributes for the retained primitive pixels and also configured not to generate pixel attributes for the discarded primitive pixels.

The disclosure relates to a programmable streaming processor that is capable of executing mixed-precision (e.g., full-precision, half-precision) instructions using different execution units. The various execution units are each capable of using graphics data to execute instructions at a particular precision level. An exemplary programmable shader processor includes a controller and multiple execution units. The controller is configured to receive an instruction for execution and to receive an indication of a data precision for execution of the instruction. The controller is also configured to receive a separate conversion instruction that, when executed, converts graphics data associated with the instruction to the indicated data precision. When operable, the controller selects one of the execution units based on the indicated data precision. The controller then causes the selected execution unit to execute the instruction with the indicated data precision using the graphics data associated with the instruction.

A server is disclosed that includes an interface to a data communication network, a compiler library that stores a plurality of different compilers, and compiler selection logic responsive to data received at the interface and including logic. The compiler selection logic is configured to select one of the plurality of different compilers based on an evaluation of the received data. The selected compiler generates compiled output data and the compiled output data is communicated over the data communication network to a client.

Disclosed herein is power controller for use with a graphics processing unit. The power controller monitors, manages and controls power supplied to components of a pipeline of the graphics processing unit. The power controller determining whether and to what extent power is to be supplied to a pipeline component based on status information received by the power controller in connection with the pipeline component. The power controller is capable of identifying a trend using the received status information, and determining whether and to what extent power is to be supplied to a pipeline component based on the identified trend.
