Abstract:

A method comprising fetching an input from at least one of a plurality of floating-point registers and detecting whether the input includes a token. If the token is detected in the input, checking what mode the processor is in. If the processor is in a first mode, processing the input to render an arithmetic result. If the processor is in a second mode, performing a token specific operation. And producing an output. The present invention also provides a processor comprising a first instruction set engine, a second instruction set engine, and a mode identifier. A plurality of floating-point registers are shared by the first instruction set engine and the second instruction set engine. A floating-point unit is coupled to the floating-point registers. The floating-point unit processes an input responsive to the mode identifier and the input to produce an output.

Abstract:

An advertisement is associated with a particular user move in a gaming environment where playing of the user move by a user results in the advertisement being displayed at the user's gaming device. With multiple users, each play of a unique user move results in a corresponding uniquely targeted advertisement being displayed at the respective gaming device of each user. User moves and associated advertisements are bound to one another based on a frequency of use of the user move in game play and the desirability of the advertiser to associate the advertisement with the user move.
