Accordingly. the disclosed gate stacks (24), which do not require such scavenging.

Abstract: A device calculates a memory oversubscription threshold for a virtual machine (VM). Based on the memory oversubscription threshold, the device determines a first memory size to be physically allocated to the VM, and a second memory size to be oversubscribed to the VM. The device configures a first virtual non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node comprising a virtual processor and a first virtual memory having the first memory size. The device allocates a first physical memory to back the first virtual memory. The device configures a second virtual NUMA node comprising a second virtual memory having the second memory size. The second virtual NUMA node is a computeless NUMA node. The device configures the VM to use the first virtual NUMA node and the second virtual NUMA node. Based on the second virtual NUMA node being computeless, the VM funnels a memory access to the first virtual memory.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electric tool comprising a body, an operating component, an output shaft, and a stop mechanism. An arresting disc is disposed on the output shaft, and a groove is formed on the arresting disc; the stop mechanism comprises a protrusion, for example, a pin, which is operable so that the protrusion extends to insert into the groove to lock the output shaft. A stop mechanism of the present invention is easy to operate, delivers good safety performance, and has a relatively simple structure, which allows convenient production and subsequent maintenance. Further, a stop mechanism of the present invention automatically springs back to a non-stop position at which it detaches from the output shaft or the transmission gear of the transmission mechanism when the external force is lost, which prevents possible damage to the output shaft or transmission mechanism when a user starts the electric tool before releasing the stop mechanism.
