  • Patent number: 9396122
    Abstract: Methods and systems for cache allocation schemes optimized for browsing applications. A memory controller includes a memory cache for reducing the number of requests that access off-chip memory. When an idle screen use case is detected, the frame buffer is allocated to the memory cache using a sequential allocation mode. Pixels are allocated to indexes of a given way in a sequential fashion, and then each way is accessed in a sequential fashion. When a given way is being accessed, the other ways of the memory cache are put into retention mode to reduce the leakage power.

  • Publication number: 20160132830
    Abstract: In response to a data input of a title text string that indicates a title of a person for a job within an organization, title scores are generated for predefined titles in proportion to strength of match to the title text string. A predefined title having the highest title score is selected as a matching title for the title text string input. A person score is generated from the title score of the matching title as a function of other title scores of the predefined titles matched to the person. An organization score is generated as a function of the person score and an occurrence frequency of the matching title associated with the organization. Classification of the matching title within a classification database is updated as a function of one or more of the organization score, the title score and the person score.

  • Publication number: 20160116969
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a memory controller that includes a memory cache and a display controller configured to control a display. The system may be configured to detect that the images being displayed are essentially static, and may be configured to cause the display controller to request allocation in the memory cache for source frame buffer data. In some embodiments, the system may also alter power management configuration in the memory cache to prevent the memory cache from shutting down or reducing its effective size during the idle screen case, so that the frame buffer data may remain cached. During times that the display is dynamically changing, the frame buffer data may not be cached in the memory cache and the power management configuration may permit the shutting down/size reduction in the memory cache.

  • Publication number: 20150334606
    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for maintaining service continuity of a user UE after a tracking area is updated. In the method, after a UE initiates a TAU request, an MME judges whether an updated target SGW is the same as a source SGW (S302); in a case where a judgment result is that the updated target SGW is not the same as the source SGW, the MME further judges whether an eNodeB currently accessed by the UE is changed (S304); and in a case where the eNodeB is not changed, the MME selects the target SGW to serve the UE and sends the eNodeB a notification message indicating that the UE is switched over to a serving area of the target SGW, or the MME stops selecting an SGW for the UE but directly instructs the UE to continue to be served by the source SGW (S306).
