20120072908SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AFFINITY DISPATCHING FOR TASK MANAGEMENT IN AN EMULATED MULTIPROCESSOR ENVIRONMENT - The disclosure relates generally to managing assignment of tasks among instruction processors (IPs) within a computer system having multiple IPs, and more particularly to binding emulated IPs with a host system's IPs (e.g., processor cores) for facilitating control over affinity-based assignment of tasks among the host system's IPs by a task manager (e.g., OS) that is executing on the emulated IPs, rather than running directly on the host system's IPs. Certain embodiments provide techniques for binding emulated IPs with actual IPs of a computing system that is hosting the emulated IPs, thereby enabling better control of management of the system by a task manager executing on the emulated IPs. For instance, in certain embodiments, a dispatcher (e.g., of an OS running on emulated IPs) performs affinity-based management of task assignment for tasks performed for an application program among IPs of a host system that is hosting the emulated IPs.03-22-2012

20090250597OPTICAL FIBER ASSEMBLY WRAPPED ACROSS ROLL-NOD GIMBAL AXES IN A DIRCM SYSTEM - A control mechanism pins an optical fiber assembly on and off gimbal and between gimbals to route the assembly from an off-gimbal optical source across the gimbal axis/axes to an on-gimbal optical element so that the fiber assembly moves with the rotation of the gimbals. To accommodate a relatively large range of motion, the control mechanism is suitably configured to route the fiber assembly in a “U-shaped” loop with one end pinned off-gimbal in a stationary guide track and the other end pinned on-gimbal point in a rotating guide track so that the loose fiber assembly is constrained in the concentric tracks on and off gimbal. As the gimbal rotates, the loop seats onto one guiding track and peels off of the other guiding track while always maintaining its U shape. To accommodate a relatively small range of motion in other gimbal configurations, the control mechanism is suitably configured to pin one end of the fiber assembly off-gimbal and pass the fiber assembly directly over the gimbal where it is pinned on the other side of the gimbal. In a multi-gimbal pointer, the fiber assembly preferably exhibits different mechanical stresses as it crosses the different gimbals.10-08-2009
