Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for processing instructions. The apparatus has execution circuitry for executing instructions, where each instruction requires an associated operation to be performed using one or more source operand values in order to produce a result value. Issue circuitry is used to maintain a record of pending instructions awaiting execution by the execution circuitry, and prediction circuitry is used to produce a predicted source operand value for a chosen pending instruction. Optimisation circuitry is then arranged to detect an optimisation condition for the chosen pending instruction when the predicted source operand value is such that, having regard to the associated operation for the chosen pending instruction, the result value is known without performing the associated operation.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for alerting individuals of HVAC system issues in their home. In some implementations, a monitoring system monitors a property that includes sensors located throughout the property and generates sensor data. A monitor control unit receives thermostat data from a thermostat that indicates activity of the HVAC system and temperature history of the property. The monitor control unit applies the thermostat and the sensor data to an HVAC model that is trained using past sensor data, past thermostat data, past errors of the HVAC system. The monitor control unit determines an error of the HVAC system from the HVAC model output. The monitor control unit determines an action for likely correcting the error of the HVAC system. The monitor control unit provides, for output, data identifying the error of the HVAC system and the action for likely correcting the error of the HVAC system.
