Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for composing a virtualized computing environment. Specifically, under the present invention, data and a definition file that contains application runtime requirements for the data are stored on a portable memory device. Application runtime requirements can be anything related to an environment in which the data was previously used. When the portable memory device is received in a computerized device, an auto-insert script can be executed that signals a provisioning system and/or transports the definition file to the provisioning system. The provisioning system will then interpret the definition file on the computerized device to retrieve the application runtime requirements. Then, the virtualized computing environment will be composed by adapting an environment of the computerized device according to the application runtime requirements retrieved from the definition file.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for the fusing of multiple operations into a single micro-operation (uop). A method of decoding a macro-instruction provides for transferring data relating to a first operation from the macro-instruction to a uop. The uop is to be executed by an execution system of a processor. The method further provides for transferring data relating to a second operation from the macro-instruction to the uop.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system of identifying crosstalk in a circuit provides significant benefits over conventional manual approaches. The method provides for selecting a plurality of signals from computer aided design (CAD) data based on a set of electromagnetic interference (EMI) criteria. Trace-to-trace run length values of traces corresponding to the signals are measured in accordance with a trace spacing. The method further provides for indication which traces have one length values above a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a capacitor provides for coupling a ball grid array (BGA) lead configuration to a foil and disposing the foil within a case. The BGA lead configuration extends from the case.

Abstract: A system and method of fetching processor instructions provides enhanced performance. The method and system provide for receiving a request for an instruction, and searching a cache system at a first level for the instruction. The cache system is searched at a second level for the instruction in parallel with the first level based on a prediction of whether the instruction will be found at the first level.
