Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a processor includes an execution pipeline to concurrently execute at least portions of threads, wherein at least one of the threads is dependent on at least another one of the threads. The processor also includes detection circuitry to detect speculation errors in the execution of the threads. In another embodiment, the processor includes thread management logic to control dynamic creation of threads from a program.

Abstract: An efficient and adaptive system and method for filtering web accesses in an web access log analysis are described. A web log file having a plurality of entries, with each entry containing a field identifying a web access of a visitor, and a list of exclusion web accesses to be filtered from the web log file are provided. An optimum algorithm for searching in the list of exclusion web accesses is selected from a set of algorithms. Based on the selection, a data structure corresponding to the selected algorithm and the exclusion web accesses is built. Comparisons are made between the web access in each entry of the web log file and the data structure to filter or discount entries from the web log file.

Abstract: Geographic location determination for a client is facilitated by performing a trace route between a known network device and the client. The trace route results in a list of intermediary network devices between the client and the known network device. Network addresses may be configured with geographically significant portions. Thus, network addresses for the client and/or one or more of the intermediary devices can be inspected to facilitated a geographic location determination for the client based on the geographically significant portions. An online service provider hosting network sites may prepare client activity reports for the hosted sites using the determined geographic data. The determined geographic locations may also be used to ensure compliance, such as with regulations, distribution agreements, etc., for data distributions to clients.
