Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and software for architectures and mechanisms to accelerate tuple-space search with integrated GPUs (Graphic Processor Units). One of the architectures employs GPU-side lookup table sorting, under which local and global hit count histograms are maintained for work groups, and sub-tables containing rules for tuple matching are re-sorted based on the relative hit rates of the different sub-tables. Under a second architecture, two levels of parallelism are implemented: packet-level parallelism and lookup table-parallelism. Under a third architecture, dynamic two-level parallel processing with pre-screen is implemented. Adaptive decision making mechanisms are also disclosed to select which architecture is optimal in view of multiple considerations, including application preferences, offered throughput, and available GPU resources.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a continuous thread is operated on the graphics processing unit. A continuous thread is launched one time from the central processing unit and then it runs continuously until an application on the central processing unit decides to terminate the thread. For example, the application may decide to terminate the thread in one of a variety of situations which may be programmed in advance. For example, upon error detection, a desire to change the way that the thread on the graphics processing unit operates, or in power off, the thread may terminate. But unless actively terminated by the central processing unit, the continuous thread generally runs uninterrupted.

Abstract: The invention provides a nonenzymic method for the release of cells which have been selected from a heterogeneous cell suspension by antibody-mediated binding to beads or other solid support. The method entails forming within the cell suspension a complex comprising the solid support linked to a primary monoclonal antibody, which in turn is bound to a cell surface antigen on the target cells. The complex is separated from the cell suspension, and then contacted with a specific peptide which binds to the primary antibody, displacing the antibody from the cell surface antigen, thereby releasing the target cell from the complex. The invention also provides methods for positive/negative cell selection wherein target cells having a first antigen are selected from a heterogeneous cell suspension containing undesired cells having a second antigen.
