  • Patent number: 8984200
    Abstract: One aspect provides a method comprising: ascertaining an interrupt at an information handling device having two or more cores of different size; determining if the interrupt should be directed to one of a bigger core and a littler core based on a policy for scheduling interrupts; directing the interrupt to the little core if the interrupt does not qualify as an exception based on the policy for scheduling interrupts; and processing the interrupt on an appropriate core according the policy for scheduling interrupts. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8778854
    Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a composition comprising a grafted polymer. The polymer comprises a backbone with at least one olefin block and at least one vinyl aromatic block. The polymer is grafted with a pendant carbonyl containing group, the grafting being conducted by halogenating the vinyl aromatic carbon of the vinyl aromatic block and then grafting a carboxylic acid or derivative thereof on the halogenated vinyl aromatic carbon in the presence of an activating agent. The carbonyl containing-group is optionally substituted to provide ester, imide and/or amide functionality. The grafted polymer is useful as a dispersant viscosity modifier in lubricating compositions such as engine oils.

  • Patent number: 8694797
    Abstract: A method for preventing malicious software from execution within a computer system is disclosed. Before any actual execution of an application program on a computer system, the application program needs to be cross-compiled to yield a set of cross-compiled code of the application program. The set of cross-compiled code of the application program can then be executed in an execution module that is capable of recognizing and translating the set of cross-compiled code of the application program to the actual machine code of the processor.
