  • Publication number: 20220300284
    Abstract: A method for performing opportunistic write-back discard of single-use vector register values. The method includes executing instructions of a GPU in a default mode, detecting a beginning of a single-use section that includes instructions that produce single-use vector register values, and executing instructions in a single-use mode. The method includes discarding the write-back of a single-use vector register value if the single-use value gets forwarded either via a bypass path or via register file cache. The method includes inserting hint instructions into an executable program code that demarcates single-use sections. A system includes a microprocessor to execute instructions in the default mode. The microprocessor detects a beginning and an ending of a single-use section that includes instructions that produce single-use vector register values.

  • Patent number: 10262292
    Abstract: In some examples, a first device of a first buyer may receive a selection of a first item offered by a selected merchant. The first device may determine whether any second devices are within a threshold distance of the first device. Based on a second device being within the threshold distance, the first device may send, to the second device, a communication for creating a combined order. Receipt of the communication may cause the second device to present, to a second buyer, an interface for creating a combined order. The second buyer may use the second device to select a second item to order from the merchant. At least one of the first device or the second device may send combined order information to a service computing device, which may send the combined order to the merchant and schedule a courier to deliver the ordered items to the buyers.
