Title: Query optimisation in product selection
Inventor: HOPKINS MARK
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: The web based product selection process allows for automatic query optimisation to improve the selection of a particular product from a complete set. Each product in a database has a number of associated attributes, and a reduction benefit value is determined for each attribute. The reduction benefit value is a measure of how much data reduction is provided by filtering the product list according to a particular attribute. The attribute providing the largest reduction is automatically selected and the user is prompted to select data relevant to the attribute. Random selection is possible if two attributes of the best and same opportunity for reduction. The process is repeated until a predetermined threshold.

Title: Identifying register dependency amongst native instructions emulating a macroinstruction
Inventor: SAFFORD KEVIN DAVID
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2001-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for emulating an emulated instruction set using a native (microcode) instruction set. Each native instruction contains at least one register identifier (figure 2) and is provided with a flag to indicate the validity of that identifier. Dependencies among the register identifiers are identified (figure 3) and independent instructions may be processed in parallel by execution engine 20. Dependency checking may be via a logic circuit 35 so that if any of the register identifiers from a second instruction match any of those in a first instruction, and both are valid, then a dependency is established. The microcode uses the most significant bit of the register field to define whether it is an integer or floating point register and different modes of floating point register stack are defined (figure 4).
