  • Patent number: 10922137
    Abstract: In one example, a central processing unit (CPU) with dynamic thread mapping includes a set of multiple cores each with a set of multiple threads. A set of registers for each of the multiple threads monitors for in-flight memory requests the number of loads from and stores to at least a first memory interface and a second memory interface by each respective thread. The second memory interface has a greater latency than the first memory interface. The CPU further has logic to map and migrate each thread to respective CPU cores where the number of cores accessing only one of the at least first and second memory interfaces is maximized.

  • Publication number: 20210037902
    Abstract: A garment includes a substantially seamless base layer made from a compressive material, an outer layer positioned outward of at least a portion of the compressive material, and seam tape coupling the outer layer to the base layer. The outer layer is configured to cover less than an entire circumference of a wearer of the garment, and the base layer extends around at least a portion of the circumference not covered by the outer layer. For example, the base layer may not cover a wearer's lateral thigh region, minimizing the availability of non-taut material in that region that may be subject to easier grabbing or manipulation by an opponent.
