Abstract: Hybrid transaction memory systems and accompanying methods. A transaction to be executed is received, and an initial attempt is made to execute the transaction in a hardware path. Upon a failure to successfully execute the transaction in the hardware path, an attempt is made to execute the transaction in a hardware-software path. The hardware-software path includes a software path and at least one hardware transaction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for three dimensional display that produce stereo images (left and right eye images) each having particular known polarization so that they can be segregated and viewed with suitable polarizer eyeglasses to create the perception in the human mind of a three-dimensional image. According to one or more embodiments, two liquid crystal panels are utilized with the two panels being stacked one in front of the other relative to a light source and two polarizers are used surrounding the panel closest to the light source. In alternative embodiments, that panel and polarizers comprise a typical liquid crystal display (“LCD”) monitor. In preferred embodiments, images produced by the system are then circularly polarized for decoding by eyeglasses having corresponding circularly polarized lenses.

Abstract: model for use with one or more EDA tools (such as placing, routing, etc). An LPD wiring model allows at least one wiring layer to have a set of regions that each have a different preferred direction than the particular wiring layer. In addition, each region has a local preferred direction that differs from the local preferred direction of at least one other region in the set. Furthermore, at least two regions have two different polygonal shapes and no region in the set encompasses another region in the set. Some embodiments also provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that facilitates a visual presentation of an LPD design layout and provides tools to create and manipulate LPD regions in a design layout.
