Abstract: An apparatus for washing and decontaminating soils includes a high-pressure microbubble generation module, a coarse grain heterogeneous separation module, an ultrasonic shock module, and a fine grain heterogeneous separation module. The high-pressure microbubble generation module generates first microbubbles, and uses a first shock energy generated when the first microbubbles burst to remove an oil contaminant on coarse grain soils. The coarse grain heterogeneous separation module uses the difference in density to separate the oil contaminant and the coarse grain soils from a soil and water mixture. The ultrasonic shock module generates second microbubbles and performs an ultrasonic shock operation to increase a second shock energy generated when the second microbubbles burst to remove another oil contaminant on fine grain soils. The fine grain heterogeneous separation module uses the difference in density to separate the another oil contaminant and the fine grain soils from the soil and water mixture.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for efficient parallel execution of multiple work units in a processor by reducing a number of memory accesses are disclosed. A computing system includes a processor core with a parallel data architecture. One or more of a software application and firmware implement matrix operations and support the broadcast of shared data to multiple compute units of the processor core. The application creates thread groups by matching compute kernels of the application with data items, and grouping the resulting work units into thread groups. The application assigns the thread groups to compute units based on detecting shared data among the compute units. Rather than send multiple read access to a memory subsystem for the shared data, a single access request is generated. The single access request includes information to identify the multiple compute units for receiving the shared data when broadcasted.
