Tarantula is an aggressive floating point machine targeted at technical, scientific and
bioinformatics workloads, originally planned as a follow-on candidate to the EV8 processor.
Tarantula adds to the EV8 core a vector unit capable of 32 double-precision flops per cycle …

A method, system, and apparatus may initialize a fixed plurality of page table entries for a
fixed plurality of pages in memory, each page having a first size, wherein a linear address
for each page table entry corresponds to a physical address and the fixed plurality of pages …

A texture unit may be used utilized to perform general purpose mathematical computations
such as dot products. This enables some general purpose computations and operations to
be offloaded from a central processing unit to the texture unit. The texture unit may use linear …

Some implementations disclosed herein provide techniques and arrangements for
indicating a length of an instruction from an instruction set that has variable length
instructions. A plurality of bytes that include an instruction may be read from an instruction …

A texture unit may be used to perform general purpose mathematical computations such as

As the performance of DRAM devices falls more and more behind computing capabilities,
the limitations of the memory and power walls are imminent. We propose a practical Near-
Data Processing (NDP) architecture DIMM-NDP for mitigating the effects of the memory wall …

In one embodiment, a processor includes a frontend unit having an instruction decoder to
receive and to decode instructions of a plurality of threads, an execution unit coupled to the
instruction decoder to receive and execute the decoded instructions, and an instruction …

In some implementations, a processor may include a data structure, such as a translation
lookaside buffer, that includes an entry containing first mapping information having a virtual
address and a first context associated with a first thread. Control logic may receive a request …

A region or group of pixels may be textured as a unit, using a range specifier and one or more
anchor pixels to define the group. In some embodiments, processing grouped pixels improves
efficiency … This relates generally to graphics processing and, particularly, to the texture unit …
