    Abstract: A liquid-crystal display includes a first substrate including several sub-pixels. A micro-structure layer is formed on the first substrate, and the micro-structure layer corresponding to one of the sub-pixels includes a first main trunk portion, a second main trunk portion crossed the first main trunk portion, and several striped branch portions. The striped branch portions are connected with the first and second main trunk portions, wherein an angle is formed between the striped branch portions and the first main trunk portion, and the striped branch portions are alternately arranged with a pitch. A first electrode layer is conformally formed on the micro-structure layer. Specifically, the pitch in one of the sub-pixels is different from the pitch in another one of the sub-pixels, or the angle in one of the sub-pixels is different from the angle in another one of the sub-pixels.

  • Publication number: 20170031688
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to register comparison for register comparison for operand store compare (OSC) prediction. An aspect includes, for each instruction in an instruction group of a processor pipeline: determining a base register value of the instruction; determining an index register value of the instruction; and determining a displacement of the instruction. Another aspect includes comparing the base register value, index register value, and displacement of each instruction in the instruction group to the base register value, index register value, and displacement of all other instructions in the instruction group. Another aspect includes based on the comparison, determining that a load instruction of the instruction group has a probable OSC conflict with a store instruction of the instruction group. Yet another aspect includes delaying the load instruction based on the determined probable OSC conflict.

  • Publication number: 20160378444
    Abstract: A probabilistic framework for compiler optimization with multithread power-gating controls includes scheduling all thread fragments of a multithread computer code with the estimated execution time, logging all time stamps of events, and sorting and unifying the logged time stamps. Time slices are constructed using adjacent time stamps of each thread fragment. A power-gating time having a component turned off for each time slice is determined. Power-gateable windows that reduce energy consumption of the time slice is determined according to the power-gating time. The compiler inserts predicated power-gating instructions at locations corresponding to the selected power-gateable windows into the power-gateable computer code.
