Abstract: An improved dry grind system and method for producing a sugar stream from grains or similar carbohydrate sources and/or residues, such as for biofuel production. In particular, a sugar/carbohydrate stream, which includes a desired Dextrose Equivalent (DE) where DE describes the degree of conversion of starch to dextrose (aka glucose) and/or has had removed therefrom an undesirable amount of unfermentable components, can be produced after saccharification and prior to fermentation (or other sugar conversion process), with such sugar stream being available for biofuel production, e.g., alcohol production, or other processes. In addition, the systems and methods also can involve the removal of certain grain components, e.g., corn kernel components, including protein, oil and/or fiber, prior to fermentation or other conversion systems. In other words, sugar stream production and/or grain component separation occurs on the front end of the system and method.

Abstract: Techniques of memory tiering in computing devices are disclosed herein. One example technique includes retrieving, from a first tier in a first memory, data from a data portion and metadata from a metadata portion of the first tier upon receiving a request to read data corresponding to a system memory section. The method can then include analyzing the data location information to determine whether the first tier currently contains data corresponding to the system memory section in the received request. In response to determining that the first tier currently contains data corresponding to the system memory section in the received request, transmitting the retrieved data from the data portion of the first memory to the processor in response to the received request. Otherwise, the method can include identifying a memory location in the first or second memory that contains data corresponding to the system memory section and retrieving the data from the identified memory location.
