Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there is provided systems and methods for tracking the mode of processing devices in an instruction tracing system. The method may include receiving an indication of a change in a current execution mode of the processing device. The method may also include determining that the current execution mode of the received indication is different than a value of an execution mode of a first execution mode (EM) packet previously-generated by the IT module. The method may also include generating, based on the determining that the current execution mode is different, a second EM packet that provides a value of the current execution mode of the processing device to indicate the change in the execution mode for an instruction in a trace generated by the IT module. The method may further include generating transactional memory (TMX) packets having n bit mode pattern in the packet log. The n is at least two and the n bit mode indicates transaction status of the TMX operation.

The set of connector elements includes a male connector having an at least partial cylindrical or spherical contour that is received in, and articulates with, an at least partial cylindrical or spherical recess of a female connector, so that adjacent ones of the base elements can bend in multiple degrees of freedom about different bending axes with respect to each other and adapt to a geometry of a facet joint.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed using an index array and finite state machine for scatter/gather operations. Embodiment of apparatus may comprise: decode logic to decode scatter/gather instructions and generate micro-operations. An index array holds a set of indices and a corresponding set of mask elements. A finite state machine facilitates the scatter operation. Address generation logic generates an address from an index of the set of indices for at least each of the corresponding mask elements having a first value. Storage is allocated in a buffer for each of the set of addresses being generated. Data elements corresponding to the set of addresses being generated are copied to the buffer. Addresses from the set are accessed to store data elements if a corresponding mask element has said first value and the mask element is changed to a second value responsive to completion of their respective stores.

Abstract: A device implementing a system for coexistence of collocated radios may include a first radio circuit configured to receive, from a collocated second radio circuit, a start indication for cellular activity associated with a radio resource control connection. The first radio circuit may be configured to, responsive to receiving the start indication, stop a wireless transmission capability. The first radio circuit may be configured to receive, from the collocated cellular circuit, an end indication for the cellular activity prior to the radio resource control connection being released. The first radio circuit may be configured to resume the wireless transmission capability in accordance with a reduced power level response to receiving the end indication.

Abstract: Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for causing an interrupt in a processor in response to an occurrence of a number of events. A first event counter counts the occurrences of a type of event within the processor and outputs a signal to activate a second event counter in response to reaching a first predefined count. The second event counter counts the occurrences of the type of event within the processor and causes an interrupt of the processor in response to reaching a second predefined count.
