Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to manage workloads for an operating system wherein it causes programmable circuitry to cause a task of a workload to be executed with a first processor core configuration; cause the task to be executed with a second processor core configuration; compare a first performance metric of the execution of the task with the first processor core configuration to a second performance metric of the execution with the second processor core configuration; and cause to be used one of the first processor core configuration or the second processor core configuration based on the comparison.

Abstract: The invention disclosed herein provides a new detection scheme to monitor hybridization between complimentary polynucleotides such as DNA and/or RNA. Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein localized electromagnetic radiation to provide an optimized analysis of polynucleotide hybridization in contexts such as the polynucleotide microarrays typically used on gene chips.
