Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing command buffer gang submission are disclosed. A system includes at least first and second processors and a memory. The first processor (e.g., CPU) generates a command buffer and stores the command buffer in the memory. A mechanism is implemented where a granularity of work provided to the second processor (e.g., GPU) is increased which, in turn, increases the opportunities for parallel work. In gang submission mode, the user-mode driver (UMD) specifies a set of multiple queues and command buffers to execute on those multiple queues, and that work is guaranteed to execute as a single unit from the GPU operating system scheduler point of view. Using gang submission, synchronization between command buffers executing on multiple queues in the same submit is safe. This opens up optimization opportunities for application use (explicit gang submission) and for internal driver use (implicit gang submission).

Abstract: An integrated wing-shaped heavy bag is illustrated and described. The heavy bag comprises an elongated body having a hollow receiving space and at least one integrated punching/striking wing disposed at a lateral perimeter. A unitary casing facilitates integration of the wing with the elongated body through continuously transitioned adjoining edges and/or strengthening contours. A wing insert is disposed in and substantially fills a wing cavity of the heavy bag. The wing insert is secured internally to the unitary casing by a fastener which minimizes shifting of the wing insert with respect to the wing cavity and the unitary casing.

Abstract: A method and system for assisting an individual in daily meditation upon the Bible. The system includes a textual display providing information and inspiration on a specific passage of the Bible. The system also includes a voice recorder/player for recording a desired biblical verse. The recorded verse is played back by the individual as desired to assist in the memorization of the verse. The textual display is pocket sized for easy transportation and convenient referral by the individual. In addition, the voice recorder/player is shaped in the appearance of a Bible and is also pocket sized for convenient carriage.

Abstract: Collision sensing devices connect to a main unit housing a plurality of electronics which include a cellular telephone circuit, a GPS receiver, and a compass circuit. Once a collision is detected, real-time geographical position and heading data are captured and sent to an emergency alert center where the data may be analyzed to determine the location of the vehicle in distress. Meanwhile, intense visual signals are transmitted from the exact location of the accident. The Vehicle Collision Detector also functions as a means for counterterrorism.
