Abstract: In an embodiment, a request is received for a first partition to execute on a first virtual processor. If the first physical processor is available at a first node, the first virtual processor is dispatched to execute at the first physical processor at the first node that is the home node of the first virtual processor. If the first physical processor is not available, a determination is made whether the first physical processor is assigned to a second virtual processor and a home node of the second virtual processor is not the first node. If the first physical processor is assigned to a second virtual processor and the home node of the second virtual processor is not the first node, execution of the second virtual processor is stopped on the first physical processor and the first virtual processor is dispatched to the first physical processor.

Abstract: A change in the response of the cornea to ultrasonic energy directed into the cornea is monitored during irradiation of the cornea to bring about corneal crosslinking. Because the change in ultrasonic response is correlated with the degree of crosslinking achieved, a desired degree of crosslinking can be achieved by terminating the irradiation when the change reaches a threshold. The change in ultrasonic response can be determined by taking a baseline measurement before irradiation and additional measurements during irradiation using the same ultrasonic transducer (47). The transducers may be carried on a device (30) resembling a contact lens which overlies the eye and which transmits the light used in the irradiation step to the eye.
