20090024835 | SPECULATIVE MEMORY PREFETCH - A system and method for pre-fetching data from system memory. A multi-core processor accesses a cache hit predictor concurrently with sending a memory request to a cache subsystem. The predictor has two tables. The first table is indexed by a portion of a memory address and provides a hit prediction based on a first counter value. The second table is indexed by a core number and provides a hit prediction based on a second counter value. If neither table predicts a hit, a pre-fetch request is sent to memory. In response to detecting said hit prediction is incorrect, the pre-fetch is cancelled. | 01-22-2009 |

20110145062 | DETERMINING USE OF A DISPLAY CHARACTERISTIC - A display characteristic determination machine receives a request to display seller-related content that references an item available for sale. The display characteristic determination machine identifies a display characteristic available from a web server, determines that the seller-related content is to be displayed using the display characteristic, and communicates to the web server that the seller-related content is to be displayed using the display characteristic and with primary content. The display characteristic determination machine may function as an allocation device to allocate use of the display characteristic. This functionality may be scaled, for example, to include determining use of multiple display characteristics, available from multiple web servers, by multiple instances of seller-related content requested for display by multiple sellers of multiple items. The display characteristic determination machine, therefore, may function as a “broker” for display characteristics available from multiple web servers. | 06-16-2011 |
