20090138257 | Document analysis, commenting, and reporting system - A document analysis, commenting, and reporting system provides tools that automate quality assurance analysis tailored to specific document types. As one example, the specific document type may be a requirements specification and the system may tag different parts of requirements, including actors, entities, modes, and a remainder. However, the flexibility of the system permits analysis of any other document type, such as instruction manuals and best practices guides. The system helps avoid confusion over the document when it is delivered because of non-standard terms, ambiguous language, conflicts between document sections, incomplete or inaccurate descriptions, size and complexity of the document, and other issues. | 05-28-2009 |

20150186271 | Memory System Address Modification Policies - A memory system implements a plurality of virtual address modification policies and optionally a plurality of cache eviction policies. Virtual addresses are optionally, selectively, and/or conditionally modified by the memory system in accordance with a plurality of virtual address modification policies. The virtual address modification policies include no modification, modification according to two-dimensional Morton ordering, and modification according to three-dimensional Morton ordering. For example, in response to a reference to a particular virtual address, the particular virtual address is modified according to two-dimensional Morton ordering so that at least two elements in a same column and distinct respective rows of a two-dimensional data structure are loaded into a same cache line and/or are referenced via a same page table entry. | 07-02-2015 |
20150186274 | Memory System Cache Eviction Policies - A memory system implements a plurality of cache eviction policies and optionally a plurality of virtual address modification policies.
