Abstract: A method for regulating flow of electromagnetic radiation into a volume such as a duct includes defining on a reflective surface an array of two or more ridges which are arranged side by side and projecting toward the source. Each ridge is formed by reflective ridge surfaces converging toward an apex so that the reflection directions of the surfaces are different. The ridges are arranged relative to the source so that first reflective ridge surface reflects primarily toward the upstream location and second reflective ridge surface reflects onto the first reflective ridge surface of a next adjacent ridge and thereby primarily toward the upstream location so that the array of ridges acts to form a restriction to flow of radiation toward the downstream location. This can increase an amount of the radiation within the duct by reflecting the radiation back into the duct and to reduce an amount of radiation escaping the duct.

Abstract: A Streaming Wave Coalescer (SWC) circuit stores a first set of state values associated with a first subset of threads of a first wave in a bin based on each of the first subset of threads including a first set of instructions to be executed. A second set of state values associated with a second subset of threads of a second wave is stored in the bin based on each of the second subset of threads including the first set of instructions to be executed and based on the first wave and the second wave both being associated with a hard key. A third wave is formed from the threads of the first subset and the second subset and is emitted for execution. As a result of reorganizing the threads and reconstituting a different wave, thread divergence of waves sent for execution is reduced.
