  • Publication number: 20160103658
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores therein a program for causing an information processing apparatus to execute a process including analyzing a source program with respect to the information processing apparatus that starts hardware prefetching upon detecting an access to a consecutive area on a main storage device and stops the hardware prefetching upon detecting an end of the access to the consecutive area, specifying an array structure in a loop process as a hardware prefetching target, and generating, from the source program, a machine language program in which the array structure is changed so that a second access occurring next to a first access to the array structure refers to an area being consecutive from the area being referred to by the first access.

  • Patent number: 9260112
    Abstract: The control apparatus includes a clutch release determining portion configured to detect that a clutch is placed in the released state, and an engine starting control portion configured to initiate an engine starting control to start an engine after the clutch release determining portion has detected that the clutch is placed in the released state, when the engine starting control is implemented during an output gear is rotated in a reverse direction with a torque generated by at least one of first and second electric motors MG1 and MG2. The initiation of the engine starting control after the detection of the released state of the clutch permits effective prevention of reversal of the rotating direction of the output gear from the reverse direction to the forward direction and a rise of the rotating speed of the output gear with a rise of the operating speed of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20150331677
    Abstract: A computer converts a source program into intermediate code. The computer detects, based on profile information related to a memory access for accessing target data stored in a memory, a memory access that fits an access pattern corresponding to an operating condition of a hardware prefetch function for the target data. The target data is data for which a prefetch instruction is to be inserted in advance. The prefetch instruction is an instruction for transferring data stored in the memory to a cache memory. The computer computes an evaluation value for the target data based on a length of successive memory accesses that fit the access pattern, and determines, based on the evaluation value, whether to suppress insertion of a prefetch instruction for the target data. The computer updates the intermediate code based on a result of the determination, and converts the updated intermediate code into a machine language program.

  • Publication number: 20150210269
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle drive system, which includes an drive control portion configured to control a first electric motor to generate a negative torque only after a determination that a clutch and a brake have been placed in engaged states, when the hybrid vehicle drive system is switched from a state wherein at least one of the clutch and the brake is placed in a released state, to a state wherein a negative torque is generated by the first electric motor while the clutch and the brake are both placed in the engaged states. The control apparatus permits reduction of a risk of reversal of an operating direction of an engine when the hybrid vehicle drive system is switched from one of drive modes other than a drive mode in which the clutch and the brake are both placed in the engaged states, to the drive mode.

  • Patent number: 8610857
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display is fabricated which has bus wires disposed in a grid shape, switching elements coupled to the bus wires, and pixel electrodes which are disposed on an interlayer insulating film formed by coating and which are coupled with the switching elements. In fabricating the liquid crystal display, when a transparent conductive film is formed on the interlayer insulating film which is formed by coating, the temperature of the substrate is controlled to become 100° C.-170° C. In another embodiment, when the transparent conductive film is formed on the interlayer insulating film in a non-heated condition, an oxygen flow rate ratio is set to 1% or lower, and annealing is performed after forming the film. Thereby, when etching the ITO film on the interlayer insulating film, etching residue is not produced. Further, contact resistance between the ITO film and the lower layer metal can be uniformly decreased, and display defects can be obviated.
