Title: An apparatus for software initiated prefetch and method therefor
Inventor: VADEN MICHAEL THOMAS
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: A mechanism and method for software hint initiated prefetch is provided. The prefetch may be directed to a prefetch of data for loading into a data cache, instructions for entry into an instruction cache or for either, in an embodiment having a combined cache. In response to a software instruction in an instruction stream, a plurality of prefetch specification data values are loaded into a register having a plurality of entries corresponding thereto.  Prefetch specification data values include the address of the first cache line to be prefetched, and the stride, or the incremental offset, of the address of subsequent lines to be prefetched. Prefetch requests are generated by a prefetch control state machine using the prefetch specification data values stored in the register. Prefetch requests are issued to a hierarchy of cache memory devices. If a cache hit occurs having the specified cache coherency, the prefetch is vitiated. Otherwise, the request is passed to system memory for retrieval of the requested cache line.

Patent CA-2298137-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KISHIDA HAJIME
IPC: F17C5/00
Filed: 2000-02-08
Abstract: A filling apparatus for filling receiving vessels with compressed gas lowers the temperature of the compressed gas in response to the filling pressure of the receiving vessel. As an internal pressure within the receiving vessel approaches a value indicative of a filled vessel, the temperature of the compressed gas is reduced to counter the effect of heat caused by increasing pressure within the vessel. The temperature of the compressed gas is reduced by slowing the compressor and allowing the gas to dwell for a longer period within a heat exchanger between stages of compression. In addition, the temperature of the compressed gas is reduced by increasing the efficacy of the heat exchanger such as by increasing the rate of air flow over the heat exchanger. Accordingly, engine speed, fan speed and compressor speed each can be varied according to various arrangements of the filling apparatus to reduce the temperature of the compressed gases being introduced into a receiving vessel.
