  • Publication number: 20230102564
    Abstract: A device includes a vector register file, a memory, and a processor. The vector register file includes a plurality of vector registers. The memory is configured to store a permutation instruction. The processor is configured to access a periodicity parameter of the permutation instruction. The periodicity parameter indicates a count of a plurality of data sources that contain source data for the permutation instruction. The processor is also configured to execute the permutation instruction to, for each particular element of multiple elements of a first permutation result register of the plurality of vector registers, select a data source of the plurality of data sources based at least in part on the count of the plurality of data sources and populate the particular element based on a value in a corresponding element of the selected data source.

  • Patent number: 11388261
    Abstract: Aspects described herein provide improved system architectures for a cross-domain proxy so that server/controller software may be placed in a cloud-based environment, with only limited equipment required on-premises at a user location for use by application client software. Aspects described herein provide techniques for communicating information between disparate domains, while each party to the transaction believes it is on the same domain as the other party to the transaction. Aspects described herein generally relate to a method to transparently transport the Citrix Brokering Protocol (CBP, or other protocols) between On-Premises VDAs (e.g., virtualized Windows computers) to an In-Cloud Broker running on the Desktop Delivery Controllers (DDCs) when each resides in different domains. Using aspects described herein, resources that otherwise need to be co-located on the same administrative domain can be moved to different domains, e.g., using a cloud-based system architecture.

  • Patent number: 9327378
    Abstract: A blade sharpening system is provided that includes a base, and a pivoting member rotatably coupled to the base by a shaft. The blade sharpening system also includes a sharpener coupled to the pivoting member and configured to engage a generally circular blade of an agricultural implement while the generally circular blade is mounted on the agricultural implement. The pivoting member is configured to enable movement of the sharpener to accommodate lateral variations in a profile of the generally circular blade, and the shaft is movable relative to the pivoting member to adjust a contact force between the sharpener and the generally circular blade.

  • Publication number: 20160000056
    Abstract: The present invention includes an array of fish-shaped reflective elements, or fish decoys, which may be formed with an adhesive backing which facilitates the attachment of the reflective elements to the underside, or hull, of a vessel, such as a fishing vessel. The fish-shaped reflective elements may be configured on the hull in a pattern corresponding to the natural schooling of the prey for the fish being sought. The reflective elements may vary in size depending on the fish species being mimicked.
