  • Publication number: 20240104021
    Abstract: Embodiments are for processor cross-core cache line contention management. A computer-implemented method includes sending a cross-invalidate command to one or more caches based on receiving a cache state change request for a cache line in a symmetric multiprocessing system and determining a retry delay based on receiving a cross-invalidate reject response from at least one of the one or more caches. The computer-implemented method also includes waiting until a retry delay period associated with the retry delay has elapsed to resend the cross-invalidate command to the one or more caches and granting the cache state change request for the cache line based on receiving a cross-invalidate accept response from the one or more caches.

  • Publication number: 20240090969
    Abstract: An instrument device manipulator (IDM) is attached to a surgical arm of a robotic system and comprises a surgical tool holder and an outer housing. The surgical tool holder includes an attachment interface that can secure a surgical tool in a front-mount configuration (where the attachment interface is on a face opposite of a proximal extension of the surgical tool) or a back-mount configuration (where the attachment interface is on the same face as the proximal extension of the surgical tool). The surgical tool holder may rotate continuously within the outer housing. In a back-mount configuration, the surgical tool holder may have a passage that receives the proximal extension of the tool and allows free rotation of the proximal extension about the rotational axis. A surgical drape separates the IDM and robotic arm from a tool, while allowing electrical and/or optical signals to pass therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20240076891
    Abstract: A system for basing drones is described. A network of geographically diverse hangars provides storage and charging locations as well as backhaul communications infrastructure and video monitoring. As drones are needed, a central command point tasks an available drone, which may or may not already be located in proximity to a target. If additional drones are needed, drones can be flown to the area of interest and continuous coverage provided by charging drones while an active drone is conducting the mission, then rotating charged drones into the active mission. Structures for the hangars, the overall system, and methods of operation are described.

  • Patent number: 11907125
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided.

  • Patent number: 11907132
    Abstract: A method for managing designated authority status in a cache line includes identifying an initial designated authority (DA) member cache for a cache line, transferring DA status from the initial DA member cache to a new DA member cache, determining whether the new DA member cache is active, indicating a final state of the initial DA cache responsive to determining that the new DA member cache is active, and overriding a DA state in a cache control structure in a directory. A method for managing cache accesses during a designated authority transfer includes receiving a designated authority (DA) status transfer request, receiving an indication that a first cache will invalidate its copy of the cache line, allowing a second cache to assume DA status for the cache line, and denying access to the first cache's copy of the cache line until invalidation by the first cache is complete.

  • Publication number: 20240024800
    Abstract: A stormwater treatment device may include a chamber having a floor and a wall; an inlet formed in the wall that receives stormwater into an inlet side of the chamber; an outlet formed in the wall that discharges stormwater from an outlet side of the chamber; an enhanced settling device positioned in the outlet side of the chamber; a flow diverter plate in a lower portion of the chamber; and an outlet control diverter positioned proximate to the outlet. Stormwater is received by the inlet in a first flow direction, flows from the inlet side to the lower portion of the chamber in a second flow direction, flows through the enhanced settling device to an upper portion of the chamber in a third flow direction, flows through the outlet control diverter in fourth flow direction, and is discharged by the outlet in a fifth flow direction.

  • Patent number: 11880304
    Abstract: To facilitate an efficient processing of contended cache lines, a cache controller that is associated with a requestor receives a fetch request for data from the requestor. The fetch request is associated with a cache scope designation. If the data is in a high-level cache (e.g., L1 cache) associated with the requestor, the cache controller returns the requested data to the requestor. If the data is not in the high-level cache or if the data is not within the cache pool identified by the cache scope of search designation, and/or if obtaining the data is contentious, the controller returns a cache miss, undeliverable data, and request done instruction to the requestor. Such scheme allows or permits address contention events when the requestor deems such events are necessary and/or when important. As such, address contention events, performance, latencies, increased executions times, inefficient use of resources, may be diminished.
