Title: An apparatus and method of executing thread groups
Inventor: ISIDOROS SIDERIS
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2017-10-11
Abstract: An apparatus comprises scheduling circuitry 10 to select for execution a first threadgroup, and thread processing circuitry 30 to execute active threads of the first thread group in dependence on a common program counter 20 shared between the active threads (e.g. SIMT). In response to an exit event 60 (e.g. branch instruction) occurring for the first thread group, the thread processing circuitry determines whether a program counter check condition is present 40, which triggers program counter checking circuitry 50 to perform a program counter check operation to update the common program counter 70 and an active thread indication for the first thread group. The thread processing circuitry is provided with register storage (e.g. 39) in which program counter information for each thread of the first thread group can be stored (80 in Figure 2), and the program counter checking circuitry has access to this. The scheduling circuitry is arranged to select for execution a different thread group whilst awaiting performance of the program counter check operation (e.g. sorting to find a minimum value) for the first thread group (* in Figure 6). This facilitates efficiently handling thread divergence and re-convergence.

Title: Implant evaluation using acoustic emissions
Inventor: GRAHAM OLIVER ROSS
IPC: A61B7/00
Filed: 2018-11-30
Abstract: The location of a noise or sound emitted from an artificial joint 320 implanted in the human body is determined using at least two acoustic sensors 340, 342, 344 positioned around the joint. The joint is moved and the signal is detected at a pair of the sensors. The difference in arrival time of the acoustic signal emitted from the joint, or the difference in amplitude in the two signals, is used to calculate the position of the sound on a geometric surface. Where this surface intersects the implant is the sound’s origin. A third acoustic sensor may also be used. The velocity of sound in the intervening tissues may be used in the calculation. The method may be used to detect a loosened joint implant such as an artificial knee.
