  • Publication number: 20070214205
    Abstract: A method of implementing binary multiplication in a processing device includes obtaining a multiplicand and a multiplier from a storage device; in the event the multiplier is larger than a selected length, partitioning the multiplier into a plurality of multiplier subgroups; in the event the multiplicand is larger than a selected length, partitioning the multiplicand into a plurality of multiplicand subgroups and at least one of zeroing out of unused bits of the multiplicand subgroup and sign-extending a smaller portion of the multiplicand subgroup; establishing a plurality of multiplicand multiples based on at least one of a selected multiplicand subgroup of the plurality of multiplicand subgroups and the multiplicand; selecting one or more of the multiplicand multiples of the plurality of multiplicand multiples based on the each multiplier subgroup of the plurality of multiplier subgroups; and generating a first modular product based on the selected multiplicand multiples.

A multi-processor system that having a plurality of individual processors where each of the processors has an associated L1 cache, and the multi-processor system has at least one shared main memory, and at least one shared L2 cache. The method described herein involves writing a data line into an L2 cache comprising and a local change bit to direct the install state of the data line.

  • Publication number: 20070174554
    Abstract: Caching where portions of data are stored in slower main memory and are transferred to faster memory between one or more processors and the main memory. The cache is such that an individual cache system must communicate to other associated cache systems, or check with such cache systems, to determine if they contain a copy of a given cached location prior to or upon modification or appropriation of data at a given cached location. The cache further includes provisions for determining when the data stored in a particular memory location may be replaced.

  • Publication number: 20070168619
    Abstract: The system and method described herein is a dual system directory structure that performs the role of system cache, i.e., data, and system control, i.e., coherency. The system includes two system cache directories. These two cache directories are equal in size and collectively large enough to contain all of the processor cache directory entries, but with only one of these cache directories hosting system-cache data to back the most recent fraction of data accessed by the processors, and the other cache directory retains only addreses, including addresses of lines LRUed out and the processor using the data. By this expedient, only the directory known to be backed by system cached data will be evaluated for system cache data hits.

  • Publication number: 20040229763
    Abstract: A dishwashing kit contains a container with a foam-generating dispenser and a dishwashing composition within the container. The dishwashing composition contains a surfactant system and solvent. When the foam-generating dispenser is employed with the dishwashing composition, the foam-generating dispenser may generate a foam having a foam to weight ratio of greater than about 2 mL/g. When dispensed from the foam-generating dispenser, the dishwashing composition may also have an effective foaming dilution range of at least about 50% of the dilution range. When dispensed from the foam-generating dispenser, the dishwashing composition may also have an effective foaming dilution range which overlaps an effective solubilization dilution range. When dispensed from the foam-generating dispenser, the dishwashing kit may also generate a foam at a substantially different dishwashing composition to water dilution than the dilution at which the maximum volume of foam is formed according to a suds cylinder test.

  • Publication number: 20040229767
    Abstract: An ionic surfactant-based protomicroemulsion composition contains, by weight of the protornicroemulsion, at least about 20% of an ionic surfactant system, less than about 10% nonionic surfactant, and from about 0.25% to about 50% of a water-insoluble oil. Preferably, the PME contains from about 5% to about 79% of a solvent. The protomicroemulsion forms a microemulsion when diluted from about 10% to about 99% with water. A protomicroemulsion contains limonene and/or terpineol therein. A microemulsion has a high-capacity oil absorption phase and a low-capacity oil absorption phase. The high-capacity oil absorption phase has a high-capacity oil absorption value corresponding to a high-capacity oil absorption function. The high-capacity oil absorption function defines a high-capacity oil absorption area. The low-capacity oil absorption phase has a low-capacity oil absorption value corresponding to a low-capacity oil absorption function.
