20100146347SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAULT MAPPING OF EXCEPTIONS ACROSS PROGRAMMING MODELS - A system and method for mapping exceptions from a first programming model to a second programming model. The system comprises a first device operating a first programming model and a second device operating a second programming model. The first device sends an instruction to, or invokes the second device to execute an instruction. As a result, a fault occurs during execution of the instruction in the second programming model. An exception based on the fault is raised, and returned to the first device. A fault mapping module receives the exception from the first device. The fault mapping module attempts to determine the type of exception received by comparing an identifier with predetermined identifiers indicating exception type. The fault mapping module interprets the exception to generate an interpreted exception recognizable by the first programming model if the exception is determined to be of a predetermined type.06-10-2010

20090172298CACHED DIRTY BITS FOR CONTEXT SWITCH CONSISTENCY CHECKS - Embodiments of an invention using cached dirty bits for context switch consistency checks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes control logic and a cache. The control logic is to cause a consistency check to be performed on a subset of a plurality of state components during a first context switch. The cache is to store a dirty entry for each state component to indicate whether the corresponding state component is included in the subset.07-02-2009

20080207089METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING A PARAMETER OF A MEASUREMENT DEVICE DURING POLISHING, DAMAGE TO A SPECIMEN DURING POLISHING, OR A CHARACTERISTIC OF A POLISHING PAD OR TOOL - Methods and systems for monitoring a parameter of a measurement device during polishing, damage to a specimen during polishing, a characteristic of a polishing pad, or a characteristic of a polishing tool are provided. One method includes scanning a specimen with a measurement device during polishing of a specimen to generate output signals at measurement spots on the specimen. The method also includes determining if the output signals are outside of a range of output signals. Output signals outside of the range may indicate that a parameter of the measurement device is out of control limits. In a different embodiment, output signals outside of the range may indicate damage to the specimen. Another method includes scanning a polishing pad with a measurement device to generate output signals at measurement spots on the polishing pad. The method also includes determining a characteristic of the polishing pad from the output signals.08-28-2008
20080240613Digital Microscope Slide Scanning System and Methods - Provided herein are systems methods including a design of a microscope slide scanner for digital pathology applications which provides high quality images and automated batch-mode operation at low cost. The instrument architecture is advantageously based on a convergence of high performance, yet low cost, computing technologies, interfaces and software standards to enable high quality digital microscopy at very low cost. Also provided is a method based in part on a stitching method that allows for dividing an image into a number of overlapping tiles and reconstituting the image with a magnification without substantial loss of accuracy. A scanner is employed in capturing snapshot images. The method allows for overlapping images captured in consecutive snapshots.10-02-2008
