Abstract: Described herein is a graphics processor comprising a memory interface and a graphics processing cluster coupled with the memory interface. The graphics processing cluster includes a multi-lane parallel floating-point unit and a multi-lane parallel integer unit. The multi-lane parallel integer unit includes an integer pipeline including a plurality of parallel integer logic units configured to perform integer compute operations on a plurality of input data elements and a format conversion pipeline including a plurality of parallel format conversion units configured to convert a plurality of input data elements from a first one of a plurality of datatype formats to a second one of the plurality of datatype formats, the plurality of datatype formats including integer and floating-point formats.

Abstract: Described herein is a graphics processor comprising an instruction cache and a plurality of processing elements coupled with the instruction cache. The plurality of processing elements include functional units configured to provide an integer pipeline to execute instructions to perform operations on integer data elements. The integer pipeline including a first multiplier and a second multiplier, the first multiplier and the second multiplier configured to execute operations for a single instruction.

Abstract: Described herein is a graphics processor comprising a memory interface and a graphics processing cluster coupled with the memory interface. The graphics processing cluster includes a plurality of processing resources. A processing resource of the plurality of processing resources includes a source crossbar communicatively coupled with a register file, the source crossbar to reorder data elements of a source operand and a format conversion pipeline to convert a plurality of input data elements specified by the source operand from a first format of a plurality of datatype formats to a second format of the plurality of datatype formats, the plurality of datatype formats including integer and floating-point formats.

Abstract: Here the inventors provide a composition for topical application to the skin of animal comprising stearidonic acid in combination with one or more octadecatrienoic acids (CODTAs). Preferably the composition comprises echium oil as a source of the stearidonic acid, and a plant lipid as a source of octadcatrienoic acid, such as borage (Borago officinalis), wheat germ oil (Triticum vulgare), rosehip oil (refined; Rosa mosqueta), jacaranda oil (Jacandra mimosa folia), and/or calendula oil (Calendula officinalis). The composition of the invention increases collagen I secretion and thus has particular utility for promoting collagen production in skin.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing a signaling message are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises: determining a first transcoding policy associated with an originator endpoint contained in a received first call offer; determining a second transcoding policy associated with an answerer endpoint contained in the first call offer; applying the first transcoding policy to a first offer codec set in the first call offer to produce a second call offer containing a second offer codec set; applying the second transcoding policy to the second codec set to produce a third call offer containing a third offer codec set; comparing a first answerer codec set in a received first answer and a second answerer codec set contained in the second call offer; and determining whether or not to perform transcoding based on a result of the comparison.
