Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus having a core including functional units each to execute instructions of a target instruction set architecture (ISA) and a power controller to control a power mode of a first functional unit responsive to a power identification field of a power instruction of a power region of a code block to be executed on the core. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A differential unit (102) is provided with a ring gear (10) that meshes with an output gear (21) of a transmission (101), an axle shaft (105) that is connected to front wheels, and a drive gear (11) that is fixed by screws to a plurality of boss portions (3e) and spaced apart from the ring gear (10). A transfer unit (103) disposed rearward of the differential unit (102) is provided with a driven gear (20) that meshes with the drive gear (11). Drive force is transmitted from the driven gear (20) to a propeller shaft (104), and the propeller shaft (104) transmits the drive force to rear wheels. First material-removed portions (12) made of concave portions are formed in an inner circumference of a portion of a case (1) to which the axle shaft (105) is mounted. Second material-removed portions (13) made of concave portions that extend in an axial direction of the axle shaft (105) are formed between the plurality of boss portions (3e).

Abstract:
An apparatus, method and system is described herein for enabling intelligent recirculation of hot code sections. A hot code section is determined and marked with a begin and end instruction. When the begin instruction is decoded, recirculation logic in a back-end of a processor enters a detection mode and loads decoded loop instructions. When the end instruction is decoded, the recirculation logic enters a recirculation mode. And during the recirculation mode, the loop instructions are dispatched directly from the recirculation logic to execution stages for execution. Since the loop is being directly serviced out of the back-end, the front-end may be powered down into a standby state to save power and increase energy efficiency. Upon finishing the loop, the front-end is powered back on and continues normal operation, which potentially includes propagating next instructions after the loop that were prefetched before the front-end entered the standby mode.
