  • Patent number: 11816036
    Abstract: Method and system for performing data movement operations is described herein. One embodiment of a method includes: storing data for a first memory address in a cache line of a memory of a first processing unit, the cache line associated with a coherency state indicating that the memory has sole ownership of the cache line; decoding an instruction for execution by a second processing unit, the instruction comprising a source data operand specifying the first memory address and a destination operand specifying a memory location in the second processing unit; and responsive to executing the decoded instruction, copying data from the cache line of the memory of the first processing unit as identified by the first memory address, to the memory location of the second processing unit, wherein responsive to the copy, the cache line is to remain in the memory and the coherency state is to remain unchanged.

  • Patent number: 5899995
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an electronic filing system for automatically organizing information into a number of storage elements or folders. The storage elements are folders arranged hierarchically. The information is stored into the storage elements based on its contents. Each storage element is associated by a set of profiles and a set of constraint expressions. The constraint expressions are quantitative measurements of the profiles. The information is scanned and its features are extracted and compared with the profiles. If the features match the storage element's profiles, the features are quantitatively evaluated to produce information expressions. If the information expressions are within the constraints specified by the constraint expressions, the information is stored into the storage element. The profiles and the constraint expressions can be adjusted to reflect the changes in the user's interests.

  • Patent number: 5671342
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying information relating to a news story in a computer system. A computer system receives a news story, determines a corresponding geographical location to the location of the news story, and displays a story indicator on a map using the location corresponding to the news story, such that the information displayed relates to the news story and the story indicator. The story indicator displayed on the map also fades, where the fade rate is a function of the aging of the news story.
