Abstract: A processor package comprises a caching agent that is operable to respond to a first sequence of direct-to-cache (DTC) write misses to a partition in a set in a cache by writing data from those write misses to the partition. When the partition comprises W ways, the caching agent is operable to write data from those write misses to all W ways in the partition. After writing data from those write misses to the partition, and before any data from the partition in the set has been read, the caching agent is operable to receive a second sequence of DTC write misses to the partition, and in response, complete those write misses while retaining the data from the first sequence in at least W-1 of the ways in the partition. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: An adjustable brassiere (100) having two cups (102,104) joined to each other, a back band (106, 108) and shoulder straps (110,112). The back band has two parts: a first back band (108) having a first end connected to the first brassiere cup and having a second free end, and a second back band (106) having a first end connected to the second brassiere cup and having a second free end. The second free end of the first back band is detachably connected to the second free end of the second back band. The first shoulder strap (110) has a first end connected to the first brassiere cup and has a second end connected to the first back band, and the second shoulder strap (112) has a first end connected to the second brassiere cup and has a second end connected to the second back band. Adjustable side fasteners (114) connect the first and second brassiere cups to the first and second back bands, and these are able to alter an angle between the first and second brassiere cups and the first and second back bands.
