Abstract: An active start judgment circuit is electrically connected to an AC/DC transforming power supply which has at least one standby power unit to transform AC to DC in regular conditions and a main power unit to transform the AC to the DC in an ON condition for operation of an electronic equipment. The start judgment circuit bridges the standby power unit and the main power unit, and generates a reference potential based on a voltage output from the standby power unit, and gets a power signal from the standby power unit to be compared with the reference potential to output a start signal to the main power unit to transform the AC to the DC. Thus the standby power unit can actively drive the main power unit to supply DC power to activate the electronic equipment.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that selectively executes different versions of executable code for the same source code. During operation, the system first receives an executable code module which includes two or more versions of executable code for the same source code, wherein the two or more versions of the executable code are optimized in different ways. Next, the system executes the executable code module by first evaluating a test condition, and subsequently executing a specific version of the executable code based on the outcome of the evaluation, so that the execution is optimized for the test condition.

Abstract: A novel heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) medium and the fabrication method therefor are provided.

The provided HAMR medium exhibits a relatively high saturation magnetization and perpendicular coercivity, and thus possesses a great potential for the ultra-high density recording application.

Abstract: Maintaining a cache of indications of exclusively-owned coherence state for memory space units (e.g., cache line) allows reduction, if not elimination, of delay from missing store operations. In addition, the indications are maintained without corresponding data of the memory space unit, thus allowing representation of a large memory space with a relatively small missing store operation accelerator. With the missing store operation accelerator, a store operation, which misses in low-latency memory (e.g., L1 or L2 cache), proceeds as if the targeted memory space unit resides in the low-latency memory, if indicated in the missing store operation accelerator. When a store operation misses in low-latency memory and hits in the accelerator, a positive acknowledgement is transmitted to the writing processing unit allowing the store operation to proceed. An entry is allocated for the store operation, the store data is written into the allocated entry, and the target of the store operation is requested from memory.
