Abstract: Emulating scratchpad functionality using caches in processor-based devices is disclosed. In one aspect, each cache line within a cache of a processor-based device is associated with a corresponding scratchpad indicator indicating whether the corresponding cache line is exempt from the replacement policy used to select a cache line for eviction. Upon receiving data that corresponds to a memory access operation indicated as requiring scratchpad functionality, the cache controller stores the data in a cache line of the cache, and then sets the corresponding scratchpad indicator for the cache line. Subsequently, the cache controller emulates scratchpad functionality by allowing conventional memory read and write operations to be performed on the cache line, but does not apply its replacement policy to that cache line when selecting a cache line as a candidate for eviction. In this manner, the cache line may remain in the cache for use as scratchpad memory by software.

Abstract: Cancer patients that express high levels of the E-selectin ligand (sialyl Lea/x) on their tumors have a poorer outcome. Interestingly, relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients expressing high levels of sialyl Lex on their blasts show the greatest therapeutic response when treated with the E-selection inhibitor compound of Formula I. Transcriptome profiling of E-selectin ligand-forming glycosylation genes showed that ST3GAL4 and FUT7 were consistently expressed in the majority of cancers evaluated. Poor survival outcomes of FLT3-mutated AML patients that express high levels of ST3GAL4 and FUT7 implicated E-selectin in this disease state. These genes may be predictive biomarkers in AML patients. Methods of treatment of cancer comprising screening AML patients for expression of genes that contribute to the synthesis of the E-selectin ligand sialyl Lex, then treating those patients with an E-selection inhibitor, are disclosed.
