  • Patent number: 12379931
    Abstract: A compute node capable of enhanced performance and/or energy savings is proposed. The proposed compute node may check whether a last instruction of a first group—retrieved in a first decode cycle—is potentially a fusible instruction. If so, the proposed compute node may refrain from decoding the last instruction in the first decode cycle. Instead, the proposed compute node may determine if a first instruction of a second group of instructions retrieved in a second decode cycle (subsequent to the first decode cycle) is fusible with the last instruction of the first group. If so, the two instructions may be fused to a single micro-operation.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 5, 2025
    Assignee: Ampere Computing LLC

  • Patent number: 7288581
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the stabilization of dusting surfaces characterized in that the dusty ground is tilled or scarified and mixed with polymers in form of water-redispersible polymer powders, which are optionally reemulsifiably modified, or reemulsifiable modified aqueous polymer dispersions, which are optionally sprayed on to the untreated dusty ground. In a preferred embodiment the redispersible polymer powder, respectively the reemulsifiable modified redispersible polymer powder or the reemulsifiable modified aqueous polymer dispersion, is combined with hydraulically setting compounds, preferably cement and/or gypsum.
