20100007249ADJUSTABLE AND SEPARABLE JOINING STRUCTURE - In one aspect, an assembly includes an enclosure with an opening and a door for closing the opening. A first joining member is secured to the enclosure and a second joining member is secured to the door. The first and second joining members can be mechanically joined to one another in any one of a plurality of attitudes relative to one another and to be separated from one another. A third joining member is joined to at least one of the first and second joining members to establish an alignment position for the first and second joining members relative to one another. Following the separation of the first and second joining members, the alignment position established by the third joining member allows the first and second joining members to be rejoined in the same attitude as the attitude in which they were joined prior to being separated.01-14-2010

20090037918Thread sequencing for multi-threaded processor with instruction cache - Execution of the first thread of a new program is prioritized ahead of older threads for a previously running program. The new program is invoked during the execution of a thread of the previous program. The first thread of the program is prioritized ahead of the remaining threads of the previous program. In an embodiment of the invention, additional threads of the new program are also prioritized ahead of the older threads. A thread's context may include a table of constant values that can be referenced by each program and are shared by multiple threads. Changing the values in a constant table for a new thread is time intensive. To avoid changes to the constant table (and thereby save time), a higher priority status is conferred to the first thread that follows a change to the constant table.02-05-2009
20090276777Multiple Programs for Efficient State Transitions on Multi-Threaded Processors - A system and method to optimize processor performance and minimizing average thread latency by selectively loading a cache when a program state, resources required for execution of a program or the program itself change, is described. An embodiment of the invention supports a “cache priming program” that is selectively executed for a first thread/program/sub-routine of each process. Such a program is optimized for situations when instructions and other program data are not yet resident in cache(s), and/or whenever resources required for program execution or the program itself changes. By pre-loading the cache with two resources required for two instructions for only a first thread, average thread latency is reduced because the resources are already present in the cache. Since, such a mechanism is carried out only for one thread in a program cycle, pitfalls of a conventional general pre-fetch scheme that involves parsing of the program in advance to determine which resources and instructions will be needed at a later time, are avoided.11-05-2009
