  • Patent number: 12292783
    Abstract: A processor can include various processing pipelines that perform different data processing operations, with different pipelines having dedicated logic and memory circuits. A power management circuit can determine when to supply power to various pipelines, including the logic and memory circuits of the various pipelines, depending on a current operating mode of the processor. When a memory circuit transitions to a lower power state such as a sleep state, data can be saved to a different memory circuit that is not transitioning to a lower power state, and when the memory circuit is powered up again, the data can be restored from the different memory circuit.

  • Patent number: 11748783
    Abstract: An online system receives information describing a target group of online system users from a third party system that includes one or more user properties, which may identify an action performed by a an online user within a time interval to include the user in the target group. When an opportunity to present advertisement requests to a user is identified, the online system retrieves actions associated with the user and times associated with the actions. If an action associated with the user matches the action identified by the user properties and occurred within the time interval identified by the user properties, and other characteristics of the user satisfy at least a threshold number of the user properties, the online system includes the user in the target group. Advertisement requests having targeting criteria, including the target group, satisfied by characteristics of the user are evaluated for presentation to the user.
