Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to access synchronization in a shared memory are described. In one embodiment, a processor includes a decoder to decode an instruction into a decoded instruction, and an execution unit to execute the decoded instruction to: receive a first input operand of a memory address to be tracked and a second input operand of an allowed sequence of memory accesses to the memory address, and cause a block of a memory access that violates the allowed sequence of memory accesses to the memory address. In one embodiment, a circuit separate from the execution unit compares a memory address for a memory access request to one or more memory addresses in a tracking table, and blocks a memory access for the memory access request when a type of access violates a corresponding allowed sequence of memory accesses to the memory address for the memory access request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices that support a dynamic screen refresh rate are described. An electronic device may dynamically (e.g., autonomously, while operating) adjust the rate at which a screen is refreshed, such as to balance considerations such as user experience and power consumption by the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may use an increased refresh rate when executing applications for which user experience is enhanced by a higher refresh rate and may use a decreased refresh rate when executing other applications. As another example, the electronic device may use different refresh rates while executing different portions of the same application, as some aspects of an application (e.g., more intense portions of a video game) may benefit more than others from a higher refresh rate. The electronic device may also account of rother factors, such as battery level, when setting or adjusting the refresh rate of the screen.

Abstract: In a deep neural network (DNN), weights are defined that represent a strength of connections between different neurons of the DNN and activations are defined that represent an output produced by a neuron after passing through an activation function of receiving an input and producing an output based on some threshold value. The weight traffic associated with a hybrid memory therefore is distinguished from the activation traffic to the hybrid memory, and one or more data structures may be dynamically allocated in the hybrid memory according to the weights and activations of the or more data structures in the DNN. The hybrid memory includes at least a first memory and a second memory that differ according to write endurance attributes.

Abstract: An inertial vortex particle scrubber includes a housing having an inlet guide, twin vortex chambers and an outlet. A particle-laden air stream is accelerated as it passes through the inlet guide into the twin vortex chambers where particles are displaced by centrifugal forces toward a wall of the twin vortex chambers. A relatively particle-free air stream is then discharged from the outlet.

Abstract: Mesh art positioning techniques as part of digital content creation by a graphics editing application of a computing device are described. The graphics editing application is configured to obtain lists of vertices that are used to form mesh art. This list may then be used by a snapping module of graphics editing application to generate a snap point list that is used as a basis for mesh art positioning in relation to other objects within an item of digital content. Techniques are also described to address color diffusion within the mesh art, such as to identify a vertex that is a source of color diffusion and a boundary of color diffusion within the mesh art. The source and/or outer boundary of color diffusion within the mesh is then used as a basis to control mesh art positioning by the graphics editing application.
