| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8296552 | Dynamically migrating channels In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of determining a relative priority between a first agent and a second agent, and assigning the first agent to a first channel and the second agent to a second channel according to the relative priority. Depe... | 10/23/2012 |
| 8214574 | Event handling for architectural events at high privilege levels Methods and apparatus to perform event handling operations are described. In one embodiment, after an event (such as an architectural event occurs), the corresponding occurrence response (e.g., a yield event) may cause generation of an interrupt. Other embodiments a... | 07/03/2012 |
| 8205200 | Compiler-based scheduling optimization hints for user-level threads Method, apparatus and system embodiments to schedule user-level OS-independent “shreds” without intervention of an operating system. For at least one embodiment, the shred is scheduled for execution by a scheduler routine rather than the operating system. The sc... | 06/19/2012 |
| 8171270 | Asynchronous control transfer Methods and apparatus to perform asynchronous control transfer are described. In one embodiment, upon occurrence of an event (e.g., an architectural event), a service routine data block (SRDB) is accessed via a service routine base pointer (SRDS) and a service routi... | 05/01/2012 |
| 8108863 | Load balancing for multi-threaded applications via asymmetric power throttling A first execution time of a first thread executing on a first processing unit of a multiprocessor is determined. A second execution time of a second thread executing on a second processing unit of the multiprocessor is determined, the first and second threads execut... | 01/31/2012 |
| 8074274 | User-level privilege management In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a request from a user-level agent for programming of a user-level privilege for at least one architectural resource of an application-managed sequencer (AMS) and programming the user-level priv... | 12/06/2011 |
| 8028295 | Apparatus, system, and method for persistent user-level thread Embodiments of the invention provide a method of creating, based on an operating-system-scheduled thread running on an operating-system-visible sequencer and using an instruction set extension, a persistent user-level thread to run on an operating-system-sequestered... | 09/27/2011 |
| 8001364 | Dynamically migrating channels In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of determining a relative priority between a first agent and a second agent, and assigning the first agent to a first channel and the second agent to a second channel according to the relative priority. Depe... | 08/16/2011 |
| 7941791 | Programming environment for heterogeneous processor resource integration Compiling a source code program for a heterogeneous multi-core processor having a first instruction sequencer, having a first instruction set architecture, an accelerator to the first instruction sequencer, wherein the accelerator comprises a heterogeneous resource ... | 05/10/2011 |
| 7768518 | Enabling multiple instruction stream/multiple data stream extensions on microprocessors Embodiments described herein disclose a system for enabling emulation of a MIMD ISA extension which supports user-level sequencer management and control, and a set of privileged code executed by both operating system managed sequencers and application managed sequen... | 08/03/2010 |
| 7631125 | Dynamically migrating channels In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of determining a relative priority between a first agent and a second agent, and assigning the first agent to a first channel and the second agent to a second channel according to the relative priority. Depe... | 12/08/2009 |
