Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for dynamically selecting an OSC hazard avoidance mechanism are provided. Aspects include receiving a load instruction that is associated with an operand store compare (OSC) prediction. The OSC prediction is stored in an entry of an OSC history table (OHT) and includes a multiple dependencies indicator (MDI). Responsive to determining the MDI is in a first state, aspects include applying a first OSC hazard avoidance mechanism in relation to the load instruction. Responsive to determining that the load instruction is dependent on more than one store instruction, aspects include placing the MDI in a second state. The MDI being in the second state provides an indication to apply a second OSC hazard avoidance mechanism in relation to the load instruction.

Abstract: Systems and methods of performing processor pipeline management include receiving an instruction for processing, determining that data in a first memory sub-group of a memory group needed to process the instruction is not available in a cache that ensures fixed latency access, and determining that the instruction should be put in a sleep state. The sleep state indicates that the instruction will not be reissued until the instruction is moved to a wakeup state. The methods also include associating the instruction with a ticket identifier (ID) that corresponds with a second memory sub-group of the memory group, and moving the instruction to the wakeup state based on the second memory sub-group of the memory group being moved into the cache.

Abstract: A method for populating an inventory catalog includes receiving an image showing an item in the inventory catalog and comprising a plurality of pixels. A machine learned segmentation neural network is retrieved to determine location of pixels in an image that are associated with an image label and the property. The method determines a subset of pixels associated with the item label in the received image and identifies locations of the subset of pixels of the received image, and extracts the subset of pixels from the received image. The method retrieves a machine learned classifier to determine whether an image shows the item label. The method determines, using the machine learned classifier, that the extracted subset of pixels shows the item label. The method updates the inventory catalog for the item to indicate that the item has the property associated with the item label.

Abstract: A computer data processing system includes a plurality of logical registers, each including multiple storage sections. A processor writes data a storage section based on a dispatched first instruction, and sets a valid bit corresponding to the storage section that receives the data. In response to each subsequent instruction, the processor sets an evictor valid bit indicating a subsequent instruction has written new data to a storage section written by the first instruction, and updates the valid bit to indicate the storage section containing the new written data. A register combination unit generates a combined evictor tag to identify a most recent subsequent instruction. The processor determines the most recent subsequent instruction based on the combined evictor tag in response to a flush event, and unsets all the evictor tag valid bits set by the most the most recent subsequent instruction along with all previous subsequent instructions.
