20080270745 | Hardware acceleration of a write-buffering software transactional memory - A method and apparatus for accelerating a software transactional memory (STM) system is described herein. Annotation field are associated with lines of a transactional memory. An annotation field associated with a line of the transaction memory is initialized to a first value upon starting a transaction. In response to encountering a read operation in the transaction, then annotation field is checked. If the annotation field includes a first value, the read is serviced from the line of the transaction memory without having to search an additional write space. A second and third value in the annotation field potentially indicates whether a read operation missed the transactional memory or a tentative value is stored in a write space. Additionally, an additional bit in the annotation field, may be utilized to indicate whether previous read operations have been logged, allowing for subsequent redundant read logging to be reduced. | 10-30-2008 |
20080307193 | Semiconductor integrated circuit - A semiconductor integrated circuit (chip) includes a primary TAP controller and a secondary TAP controller.

The m-bit length is obtained by adding a predetermined single bit string to each bit string included in the group 1 consisting of at least two or more bit strings having an n-bit length, respectively. The secondary TAP controller extracts a single bit string denoting an instruction that has an n-bit length and carries out no processing for the control object from each bit string interpreted by the primary TAP controller as an instruction that carries out a processing for the control object, then interprets the single bit string. | 12-11-2008 |
