Multiprocessor resource optimization

Publication number: 20070050555

Abstract: Embodiments include a device and a method. In an embodiment, a method applies a first resource management strategy to a first resource associated with a first processor and executes an instruction block in a first processor. The method also applies a second resource management strategy to a second resource of a similar type as the first resource and executes the instruction block in a second processor. The method further selects a resource management strategy likely to provide a substantially optimum execution of the instruction group from the first resource management strategy and the second resource management strategy.

Hardware-generated and historically-based execution optimization

Publication number: 20070050608

Abstract: Embodiments include a device, and a method. In an embodiment, a device includes a processor operable to execute an instruction set, a communications link exposed to an execution-optimization synthesizer and to the processor, and the execution-optimization synthesizer. The execution-optimization optimization synthesizer includes an execution-optimization synthesizer operable to collect data from the communications link that corresponds to an execution of at least one instruction of the instruction set, and generate an execution-optimization information utilizing the collected data from the communications link and corresponding to the execution of at least one instruction of the instruction set.

Temporal vision modification

Publication number: 20070028931

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for improving and enhancing vision are disclosed. Adjustable lenses or optical systems may be used to provide adaptive vision modification. In some embodiments, vision modification may be responsive to the current state of the user's visual system. Certain embodiments provide correction of the subject's near and far vision. Other embodiments provide enhancement of vision beyond the physiological ranges of focal length or magnification.
