  • Patent number: 9792215
    Abstract: Methods and systems for pre-fetching address translations in a memory management unit (MMU) of a device are disclosed. In an embodiment, the MMU receives a pre-fetch command from an upstream component of the device, the pre-fetch command including an address of an instruction, pre-fetches a translation of the instruction from a translation table in a memory of the device, and stores the translation of the instruction in a translation cache associated with the MMU.

  • Publication number: 20170091116
    Abstract: Providing memory management functionality using aggregated memory management units (MMUs), and related apparatuses and methods are disclosed. In one aspect, an aggregated MMU is provided, comprising a plurality of input data paths including each including plurality of input transaction buffers, and a plurality of output paths each including a plurality of output transaction buffers. Some aspects of the aggregated MMU additionally provide one or more translation caches and/or one or more hardware page table walkers The aggregated MMU further includes an MMU management circuit configured to retrieve a memory address translation request (MATR) from an input transaction buffer, perform a memory address translation operation based on the MATR to generate a translated memory address field (TMAF), and provide the TMAF to an output transaction buffer. The aggregated MMU also provides a plurality of output data paths, each configured to output transactions with resulting memory address translations.

  • Publication number: 20160350234
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to performing address translations in a multithreaded memory management unit (MMU). Two or more address translation requests can be received by the multithreaded MMU and processed in parallel to retrieve address translations to addresses of a system memory. If the address translations are present in a translation cache of the multithreaded MMU, the address translations can be received from the translation cache and scheduled for access of the system memory using the translated addresses. If there is a miss in the translation cache, two or more address translation requests can be scheduled in two or more translation table walks in parallel.

  • Publication number: 20160350225
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-fetching address translations in a memory management unit (MMU) are disclosed. The MMU detects a triggering condition related to one or more translation caches associated with the MMU, the triggering condition associated with a trigger address, generates a sequence descriptor describing a sequence of address translations to pre-fetch into the one or more translation caches, the sequence of address translations comprising a plurality of address translations corresponding to a plurality of address ranges adjacent to an address range containing the trigger address, and issues an address translation request to the one or more translation caches for each of the plurality of address translations, wherein the one or more translation caches pre-fetch at least one address translation of the plurality of address translations into the one or more translation caches when the at least one address translation is not present in the one or more translation caches.

  • Publication number: 20160290885
    Abstract: A weight applicator system includes a shaft, an applicator assembly, and a weight feed assembly. The shaft defines a length between a proximal end and a distal end configured to support a wheel-tire assembly for common rotation about a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The applicator assembly is supported by the shaft and includes a base portion disposed upon the shaft and operable to translate axially along the length of the shaft, a radial portion connected to the base portion and operable to radially move relative to the base portion between a retracted position and an extended position; and a pressure roller rotatably supported by the radial portion about an axis of rotation. The weight feed assembly is operable to feed a prescribed length of weighted material to the pressure roller.

  • Patent number: 9152466
    Abstract: A cloud file event server transmits file events necessary to synchronize a file system of a file share client. A tree queue director circuit receives file events and stores each one into a tree data structure which represents the hierarchical paths of files within the file share client. An event normalization circuit sorts the file events stored at each node into sequential order and moots file events which do not have to be performed because a later file event makes them inconsequential. A thread scheduling circuit assigns a resource to perform file events at a first node in a hierarchical path before assigning one or more resources to a second node which is a child of the first node until interrupted by the tree queue director circuit or until all file events in the tree data structure have been performed.

  • Publication number: 20150112837
    Abstract: Computing systems, methods, and program products can support a closed retail network. A computing system can receive an inquiry from a first member entity of a retail network and identifying a product of interest. The system can use a datastore to determine if the product of interest is available for sale by a first member by determining if the product is available from a second member. If the product of interest is available for sale, the computing system can indicate that the product is available, receive data from the first member entity indicating that the product has been sold to a customer and including payment information, use the payment information to transfer funds from the customer, and initiate a distribution of the transferred funds to the first and second member entities. The system may consider distribution rules in determining if the product is available for sale by the first member.

  • Publication number: 20150058467
    Abstract: A system and method for the fast, on-demand provisioning of platform-as-a-service is described. A customer submits a request for a platform, such as an e-commerce platform, by providing specifications for the infrastructure and identifying the type of platform required. The system automatically creates and tunes an infrastructure template. Applications and configuration details as well as other artifacts are installed on the template to create a platform model. The platform model is replicated to location and capacity specifications. Data Center and network details are registered so the platform may be identified on the network. The requestor may use the capacity for any period of time and then return it to the provider.

  • Patent number: 8657261
    Abstract: A mobile ski towing system is a fixed or portable towing system used to pull a towee on a; ski, wakeboard, snowboard, longboard, surfboard, skateboard, mountainboard, or other similar ski or board, by reeling a towrope with a handle around a spool which is driven by a motor. There are three operating modes to control the towing independently or dependently of a dedicated-operator; a pull-to-start mode for independent towing, an on-board control mode for dependent towing, and a remote control mode for either independent or dependent towing. A mobile ski towing system comprises a mobile base with an outside frame and an internal pivoting frame, onto which the components of; motor, spool, spool shaft, spool shaft bearings, spider coulper and brake are mounted. The pivoting frame senses a load on the towrope to activate and deactivate the motor.

  • Patent number: 8371445
    Abstract: A compressible package having pair of scored sidewalls, which facilitate compression of the package into a wedge shape for storage in narrow recesses. Optionally, the compressible package may include a scored bottom flap wherein the bottom portion of the sidewalls and the bottom flap are shaped such that when the carton is compressed by a user the resulting shape of the bottom flap complements the shape of the sidewalls, maintaining a substantially closed carton. Preferably the compressible package is a carton for storing and dispensing tissue and the carton assumes a wedge shape, which allows the carton to be fit into tight spaces, such as between the seat and the center console of the automobile while maintaining a substantially closed carton.
