Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for transferring an operand between a vector pipeline and a scalar pipeline. For example, some methods may include transferring an operand from a scalar pipeline to a scalar-to-vector buffer responsive to the scalar pipeline executing a first micro-op, wherein the scalar-to-vector buffer includes an entry having a width equal to a width of a scalar register of the scalar pipeline and a data store configured to store an indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op; updating the data store to include the indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op; identifying, by the vector pipeline in response to execution of a second micro-op and in dependence on the indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op, the entry storing the operand; and transferring the operand from the entry in the scalar-to-vector buffer to the vector pipeline responsive to the vector pipeline executing the second micro-op.

Abstract: Improved custom cosmetic formulation dispensing system including ingredients reservoirs for syringe dispensing. The ingredients reservoirs are carried by a translatable carrier to bring the respective reservoirs into dispensing alignment with a package, into which a preselected amount of the ingredient is dispensed.
