Abstract: A compiler or runt-time system may determine a prefetch point to insert an instruction in order to prefetch a memory location and thereby reduce latency in accessing information from a cache. A prefetch predictor generator may decide where and whether to insert the appropriate instructions by looking at information from a hardware monitor. For example, information about cache misses may be analyzed. The differences between target addresses of those cache misses for different instructions may be determined. This information may also be used to determine the locations in the program where the prefetch instructions should be placed, as well as to calculate the address of the memory location being prefetched.

Abstract: An exemplary state monitoring circuit includes a data transform unit, a counter, and a clock generator. The data transform unit is connected to a system management bus (SMBUS) to obtain serial signals output from the SMBUS, and convert the serial signals to parallel signals. The counter is connected to a south bridge chip of the system and the data transform unit, for counting parallel signals converted by the data transform unit, if the count is finished, the counter sends a reset signal to the south bridge chip. The clock generator is connected to the counter for providing a clock frequency signal to the counter.

Abstract: A structure of heat dissipating fins that can be assembled with increased efficiency without the use of adhesive agents such as soldering tin, and so on, while ensuring a tight fit on cooling ducts. More than one through hole defined in each of the heat dissipating fins that provide for cooling ducts to insert therein. A staircase-like member extends backward from each of the through holes to form a catch groove, and a catch end further extends backward from each of the catch grooves. When the heat dissipating fins are being successively disposed onto the cooling ducts through the through holes, the catch ends are respectively disposed into the catch grooves of the heat dissipating fin positioned therebehind, thereby producing a tight clamping effect on the cooling ducts, further causing an immobile mutual fastening between the heat dissipating fins without the use of soldering tin.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, apparatus and system for dynamically managing layout of compiled code in a managed runtime environment. Profile feedback is generated during runtime, based on hardware event data that is gathered during runtime. A code manager dynamically relocates compiled code to reduce miss events based on the profile feedback. The code manager may also relocate virtual method tables in a virtual table region in order to reduce data miss events. The method does not require a prior run of an application program because profile feedback is based on event data that is tracked by hardware during execution of the software application and is not based on instrumented code.
