International Classification:

H04L001/22

US Classification:

714/004000

Abstract:

A system and a process for a session layer protocol allows a large number of client machines to receive a reliable data stream over inherently unreliable multicast connections in a highly efficient and scalable manner. More specifically, streaming of high-quality video, audio, stock and news tickers, or any other application specific data that requires a reliable data stream is described. The streaming allows for the source to instruct individuals to drop their connection to the stream to prevent noisy individuals from disrupting the operating efficiency of the stream.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

719328

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for launching work on a processor. The method includes the steps of initializing a first state object within a memory region accessible to a program executing on the processor, populating the first state object with data associated with a first workload that is generated by the program, and triggering the processing of the first workload on the processor according to the data within the first state object.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00
G06F 9/44

US Classification:

713189

Abstract:

A computer system comprising a processor and a memory for storing instructions, that when executed by the processor performs a copy protection method. The copy protection method comprises executing a software loop of a first software application in a first operating system. A first call is executed in the software loop to a code portion. A decrypted code portion of the first software application is executed in a second operating system in response to the first call. The code portion is decrypted in response to a successful validation of the first software application.

International Classification:

G06F 9/38
G06F 9/52
G06F 9/30

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a decoupled crossbar for a stream processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes at least a multi-lane execution pipeline, a vector register file, and a crossbar. The system is configured to determine if a given instruction in an instruction stream requires a permutation on data operands retrieved from the vector register file. The system conveys the data operands to the multi-lane execution pipeline on a first path which includes the crossbar responsive to determining the given instruction requires a permutation on the data operands. The crossbar then performs the necessary permutation to route the data operands to the proper processing lanes. Otherwise, the system conveys the data operands to the multi-lane execution pipeline on a second path which bypasses the crossbar responsive to determining the given instruction does not require a permutation on the input operands.

G06T 15/00
G06T 15/04

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for implementing anti-aliasing operations using a programmable sample pattern table. The method includes the steps of receiving an instruction that causes one or more values to be stored in one or more corresponding entries of the programmable sample pattern table and performing an anti-aliasing operation based on at least one value stored in the programmable sample pattern table. At least one value is selected from the programmable sample pattern table based on, at least in part, a location of one or more corresponding pixels.
