Patent number: 8464002Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to cache memory systems and/or techniques to identify dead cache blocks in cache memory systems. Example systems may include a cache memory that is accessible by a cache client. The cache memory may include a plurality of storage locations for a first cache block, with a most recently used position location in the cache memory. A cache controller may be configured to predict whether the first cache block stored in the cache memory is identified as a dead cache block based on a cache burst of the first cache block. The cache burst may comprise a first access of the first cache block by a cache client and any subsequent contiguous accesses of the first cache block following the first access by the cache client while the first cache block is in a most recently used position of the cache set.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Board of Regents of the University of Texas SystemInventors: Doug Burger, Haiming Liu

Patent number: 8180997Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for dynamically composing processor cores to form logical processors. Processor cores are composable in that the processor cores are dynamically allocated to form a logical processor to handle a change in the operating status. Once a change in the operating status is detected, a mechanism may be triggered to recompose one or more processor cores into a logical processor to handle the change in the operating status. An analysis may be performed as to how one or more processor cores should be recomposed to handle the change in the operating status. After the analysis, the one or more processor cores are recomposed into the logical processor to handle the change in the operating status. By dynamically allocating the processor cores to handle the change in the operating status, performance and power efficiency is improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2008Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Board of Regents, University of Texas SystemInventors: Douglas C. Burger, Stephen W. Keckler, Robert McDonald, Paul Gratz, Nitya Ranganathan, Lakshminarasimhan Sethumadhavan, Karthikevan Sankaralingam, Ramadass Nagarajan, Changkyu Kim, Haiming Liu

Patent number: 7332640Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for kinetically separating a light hydrocarbon mixture comprising at least two components by preferentially adsorbing a first component on a zeolite adsorbent comprising 8-member rings of tetrahedra as the pore opening controlling hydrocarbon diffusion and alkali metal cations balancing a framework charge, wherein a second component is not preferentially adsorbed. The novel process comprises contacting the light hydrocarbon mixture with a zeolite adsorbent having a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio greater than about 50 and less than 200 and further having a diffusion rate at least 50 times greater for the first component as compared to the second component, and then recovering at least one of the first component or the second component.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2003Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Exxonmobile Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Sebastian C.
