Abstract: Disclosed are selected embodiments of a processor that may include a plurality of thread units and a register file architecture to support speculative multithreading. For at least one embodiment, live-in values for a speculative thread are computed via execution of a precomputation slice and are stored in a validation buffer for later validation. A global register file holds the committed architecture state generated by a non-speculative thread. Each thread unit includes a local register file. A directory indicates, for each architectural register, which speculative thread(s) have generated a value for the architectural register. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Escalator with a series of steps connected to at least one drive chain, driven by a motor mechanism, travelling via an advanced track and a return track placed alongside, there being transition zones between two levels, the tracks respectively comprising a main set of guides and at least one set of additional guides for moving a movable step, via the bearing thereof, parallel to a non-movable step, so that they are positioned at the same height, creating a widened continuous platform which can accommodate a person with reduced mobility.
