  • Patent number: 11960727
    Abstract: A system and corresponding method perform large memory transaction (LMT) stores. The system comprises a processor associated with a data-processing width and a processor accelerator. The processor accelerator performs a LMT store of a data set to a coprocessor in response to an instruction from the processor targeting the coprocessor. The data set corresponds to the instruction. The LMT store includes storing data from the data set, atomically, to the coprocessor based on a LMT line (LMTLINE). The LMTLINE is wider than the data-processing width. The processor accelerator sends, to the processor, a response to the instruction. The response is based on completion of the LMT store of the data set in its entirety. The processor accelerator enables the processor to perform useful work in parallel with the LMT store, thereby improving processing performance of the processor.

  • Patent number: 7210894
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for palletizing rectangular packages received in random size and weight. A “corner”-based modeling system is used to assist in evaluating possible placements of packages accumulated on a line conveyor, and a placement evaluation process is used to select a “best” package placement based on heuristic analysis. Statistically-based measurement and comparison is used to assist in the evaluation process.
