摘要： A first hardware thread executes a software program instruction, which instructs the first hardware thread to initiate a second hardware thread. As such, the first hardware thread identifies one or more register values accessible by the first hardware thread. Next, the first hardware thread copies the identified register values to one or more registers accessible by the second hardware thread. In turn, the second hardware thread accesses the copied register values included in the accessible registers and executes software code accordingly.

摘要： A system and method for dynamic power management in a processor design is presented. A pipeline stage's stall detection logic detects a stall condition, and sends a signal to idle detection logic to gate off the pipeline's register clocks. The stall detection logic also monitors a downstream pipeline stage's stall condition, and instructs the idle detection logic to gate off the pipeline stage's registers when the downstream pipeline stage is in a stall condition as well. In addition, when the pipeline stage's stall detection logic detects a stall condition, either from the downstream pipeline stage or from its own pipeline units, the pipeline stage's stall detection logic informs an upstream pipeline stage to gate off its clocks and thus, conserve more power.

摘要： A machine and method for performing balancing measurements on a tire or tire/wheel assembly that includes a structure defining spaced apart tire centering and tire testing positions. A first conveyor moves a tire to a centering position where a shuttle assembly is operative to center the tire and, after it has been centered, engages the tire and effects the transfer of the tire from the centering station to a testing station. The shuttle assembly includes a pair of grippers that move towards and away from each other, in a lateral direction in order to engage the tire. The first conveyor permits movement of the tire in a lateral direction; whereas it substantially resists relative movement between the tire and conveyor in the longitudinal direction, i.e., and the direction of movement of the conveyor. The shuttle assembly is mounted for movement in a longitudinal direction and includes a drive mechanism which allows the shuttle assembly to move relative to a tire in a longitudinal direction as the grippers engage the tire so that the shuttle assembly can align itself, in the longitudinal direction with respect to the tire. The frame structure of the machine includes three spaced apart support members providing a three-point support arrangement for the machine. The machine also includes at least four legs, which extend downwardly, but are spaced above a plane defined by the support members and inhibit tipping of the machine beyond predetermined limits. The testing station, which includes a spindle assembly for rotating the tire also, includes an elevator mechanism for lowering the tire on to the spindle and for raising the tire off the spindle. A lower marking mechanism forms part of the elevator and is operative to mark a predetermined location on the tire at the conclusion of a tire testing procedure. The spindle assembly includes a drive motor comprised of a drive motor housing and an armature. The armature is maintained in its operative position by a bearing arrangement associated with a shaft assembly forming part of the spindle assembly which eliminates the need for armature supporting bearings in the drive motor housing.

摘要： Provided is a wind powered system for reducing energy consumption of a power source, such as an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. In one embodiment, the wind powered system comprises a wind turbine operatively connected to an internal combustion engine, for example via a direct mechanical connection, a hydrostatic drive system or a pneumatic drive system in order to reduce the amount of fuel required by the engine to operate an electricity generating means. A controller may be optionally provided to modulate the load on the wind turbine in order to maximize the extraction of available power according to local wind conditions. In another embodiment, the wind turbine is connected to an air compressor for providing a supply of air in order to offset energy consumption of a conventional compressed air system.

摘要： Mechanisms are provided for offloading a workload from a main thread to an assist thread. The mechanisms receive, in a fetch unit of a processor of the data processing system, a branch-to-assist-thread instruction of a main thread. The branch-to-assist-thread instruction informs hardware of the processor to look for an already spawned idle thread to be used as an assist thread. Hardware implemented pervasive thread control logic determines if one or more already spawned idle threads are available for use as an assist thread. The hardware implemented pervasive thread control logic selects an idle thread from the one or more already spawned idle threads if it is determined that one or more already spawned idle threads are available for use as an assist thread, to thereby provide the assist thread. In addition, the hardware implemented pervasive thread control logic offloads a portion of a workload of the main thread to the assist thread.

摘要： An issue unit for placing a processor into a gradual slow down mode of operation is provided. The gradual slow down mode of operation comprises a plurality of stages of slow down operation of an issue unit in a processor in which the issuance of instructions is slowed in accordance with a staging scheme. The gradual slow down of the processor allows the processor to break out of livelock conditions. Moreover, since the slow down is gradual, the processor may flexibly avoid various degrees of livelock conditions. The mechanisms of the illustrative embodiments impact the overall processor performance based on the severity of the livelock condition by taking a small performance impact on less severe livelock conditions and only increasing the processor performance impact when the livelock condition is more severe.
