  • Publication number: 20120216011
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and medium for performing a vector operation on portions of one or more source vector registers. A vector unit performs an operation on the source vector registers and only stores results in the target vector register for elements which are selected by the vector operation mask. The vector operation mask can be read by the vector unit or loaded into the vector unit for each instruction cycle. The vector operation mask allows the vector unit to be used with partially filled source vector registers and eliminates the need for scalar operations to be performed on vector data.

  • Patent number: 8078330
    Abstract: Automatic energy management is provided, in even the most complex multi-building system. The necessity of a human operator for managing energy in a complex, multi-building system is reduced and even eliminated. Computer-based monitoring and computer-based recognition of adverse energy events (such as the approach of a new energy peak) is highly advantageous in energy management. Immediate automatic querying of energy users within a system of buildings for energy curtailment possibilities is provided. Such immediate, automatic querying may be answered by the energy users through artificial intelligence and/or neural network technology provided to or programmed into the energy users, and the queried energy users may respond in real-time. Those real-time computerized responses with energy curtailment possibilities may be received automatically by a data processing facility, and processed in real-time.
