  • Patent number: 10310860
    Abstract: A system and method adjust instruction dispatch in a multi-pipeline processor core having a plurality of execution units for improved performance of out-of-order execution of instructions. A dispatch adjust circuit receives a queue full signal from one or more of the execution queues that indicates the corresponding execution queue is full. In response to the queue full signal, the instruction dispatch circuit sends a stop signal to the instruction issuer to stop issuing additional instructions to the queues until one or more of the queues are empty. The dispatch adjust circuit may also receive a queue empty signal from the queues to detect when they are empty to send a start signal to the issuer.

  • Patent number: 8704902
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided for displaying an image device subject command on an imaging device. The imaging device receives an image device subject command from a user. The image device subject command instructs an action to be performed by a subject being recorded by the imaging device. The imaging device identifies a visual representation that correlates to the image device subject command. The imaging device displays the visual representation of the subject command on a display associated with the imaging device. The visual representation directs the subject being recorded to perform the action.

  • Patent number: 8660908
    Abstract: It has been discovered that instances of an item to be sold in online auctions may be linked to an already created online auction listing for the item. The associating propagates the online auction listing to these other item instances. The propagating allows junior bidders (i.e., losing bidders) to continue pursuing purchase of the associated item instances and allows the junior sellers of the associated item instances to leverage the information of the online auction listing.

  • Publication number: 20120136745
    Abstract: Some example embodiments include a method that includes generating an indication of a first item being auctioned in an online auction system. Responsive to locating an online auction in the online auction system for a second item having one or more attributes that exceed a matching threshold with the first item, the method includes associating the first item with the located online auction using the generated indication of the first item. Also, after the online auction for the second item ends and in response to determining a bid of a junior bidder and data about the junior bidder satisfy a set of one or more conditions for sale of the first item, the method includes notifying the junior bidder in the online auction of the first item in the online auction system, wherein the junior bidder is junior to a winning bidder in the online auction for the second item.
