In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of intercepting a guest software execution of a translation insertion operation, and performing the translation insertion operation using host software. For example, the host software may obtain a requested translation from a guest virtual address to a host physical address and provide it to memory management unit resources. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Various methods, apparatuses, and systems in which a processor includes an issue engine and an in-order execution pipeline. The issue engine categorizes operations as at least one of either a speculative operation which perform computations or an architectural operation which has potential to fault or cause an exception. Each architectural operation issues with an associated architectural micro-operation. A first micro-operation checks whether a first speculative operation is dependent upon an intervening first architectural operation. The in-order execution pipeline executes the speculative operation, the architectural operation, and the associated architectural micro-operations.

An article representing a processor providing event handling functionality is described. According to one embodiment of the invention, the article includes a machine readable medium storing data representing a processor including an instruction set unit and an event handling unit, as well as a first plurality of event handlers that includes a first event handler. The instruction set unit is to support a first and second instruction sets. Problems that arise during the processing of instructions from the first and second unit are to cause the article to execute the appropriate one of the first plurality of event handlers. At least some of the first set of events are mapped to different ones of the first plurality of event handlers. All of the second set of events are mapped to the first event handler.

A Method and Apparatus for Providing Memory Management and Event Handling Functionality in a Computer System. According to one embodiment of the invention, a processor comprises an instruction set unit, a segmentation unit, and a paging unit. The instruction set unit is to support a first and second instruction sets. The segmentation unit is coupled to the instruction set unit to translate virtual addresses used by the first instruction set into translated addresses. The paging unit is coupled to the instruction set unit to translate both virtual addresses used by the second instruction set and the translated addresses into physical addresses. According to another embodiment of the invention, a computer system includes an instruction set unit and an event handling unit in a processor, as well as a first plurality of event handlers that includes a first event handler. The instruction set unit is to support a first and second instruction sets. Problems that arise during the processing of instructions from the first and second instruction sets respectively causes a first and second set of events. The event handling unit is to cause the processor to execute the appropriate one of the first plurality of event handlers. At least some of the first set of events are mapped to different ones of the first plurality of event handlers. All of the second set of events are mapped to the first event handler.

The Distributed Gaming System provides a user with remote location gaming, for example from within a hotel room. Using the room's television and a remote control, the user, such as a hotel guest, is able to play games similar to those available on a Video Lottery Terminal. The games are displayed on a TV through the use of a TV set-top box. The set top box connects the TV to a network of computer systems through which the Gaming System is distributed and managed. Game access is obtained using a payment swipe device. A special feature of system is the progressive jackpots that are available to game players; these jackpots are at the hotel, jurisdiction, and global levels.

The present invention provides a standing mobility and/or transfer device for handicapped users including an articulating foot platform system effective to move a foot platform between a rearwardly tilted user-receiving condition located close to the floor and an elevated, forwardly tilted condition for user transport at a standing-prone angle. Bilateral lift arms move in concert with the raising and lowering function of the foot platform to elevate the person to a standing-prone position from a seated position. In a raised position, the lift arms are located alongside a user to provide additional posture control. Optional motors associated with one or more wheels of the device may be controlled by the user with a joystick for self-propelled standing mobility.
