Title: Check pointing a shift register
Inventor: PHILIP DAY
IPC: G11C19/28
Filed: 2015-09-30
Abstract: Hardware structures, method or computer implementation for check pointing a main shift register including: a circular buffer 1502 whose data bit positions preferably correspond to the predicted outcome for a conditional branch instruction, and which stores most recently shifted data elements onto the main shift register. Crucially, a pointer 1560 identifies a circular buffer data position subset as active data positions. An update history shift register 1504 stores information indicating whether the circular buffer was updated in a particular clock cycle, and preferably provides a data position for each check point (0,1,2), whilst check point generation logic derives each check point by selecting a subset of the active data positions based on the update history shift register information. Included is a restoration buffer which stores, for each relevant point in time a copy of the information in the history shift register plus an indication of whether the circular buffer was updated in a corresponding cycle. The restoration logic may restore the pointer to a particular point in time using an incremental method based on the number of circular buffer updates using associative bits as indicators. The circular buffer may also have extra data positions for each check point and also each restorable point in time. The active data position may comprise a first subset of active data positions corresponding to the main shift register and a subset corresponding to a particular checkpoint offset from the first subset of active data positions. Check point generation may involve selection of the active data positions based on the update history shift register. The restoration performed may also provide an indication of whether a conditional branch instruction was mis-predicted (MIS).
Patent GB-2543302-A (GB)
Title: Vector load instruction
Inventor: NIGEL JOHN STEPHENS
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2015-10-14
Abstract: Disclosed are two types of vector load instruction. The first type, performs a response action when an exceptional condition is detected for a load operation in the first active data element of in the vector register, but when the exceptional condition is detected for any other active data element, the response action is suppressed and element identifying information is stored identifying the element which caused the exceptional condition. The second type, suppresses the response action and the element identifying information is stored when the exceptional condition arises for any active data element. When performing a load instruction of the first type the system may be configured to load an active element from the vector register before any associated condition for determining whether the load condition should be performed for the active data element has been resolved. The vector load instruction may identify a mask indicating which data elements are active data elements.

Title: Systems and methods for estimating user attention
Inventor: EYAL OREN
IPC: H04N21/658
Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for estimating audience member engagement with content, or distinguishing between users consuming content and users who have become distracted or have left. User presence or attention may be estimated from user interactions with or skipping of content, with the user interactions either compared to high quality engagement data from small audience measurement panels, or extrapolated based on a temporal-engagement curve. An attention gap may be estimated, representing users that were not present for or not engaged with or paying attention to a presentation of content at a client device. This allows the measurement system to distinguish between users who consumed and potentially enjoyed the content, and users who did not, even as client devices of both sets of users receive and present the content items.
