Appl. No.:

09/751528

Inventors:

Leslie E. Cline - Sunnyvale CA, US
Xia Dai - San Jose CA, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1/26

US Classification:

713300, 713 1, 713100, 713322, 711100

Abstract:

A selectable control over multiple clock frequency/voltage level combinations that can be activated in a processor. A table can be placed in hardware that defines multiple combinations of CPU clock frequency and CPU operating voltage. By placing the table in hardware, it can be assured that all the various combinations will work for the particular processor device. Software can then be used to select a combination from this table, to control the actual frequency/voltage combination that is being implemented at a given time. This allows dynamic control over the power/performance tradeoff, so that the system can see maximum power savings consistent with acceptable performance, as operating and environmental considerations continue to change the most desirable selections.

Abstract:

A method for administering a communication session includes initiating a session between a server and a user device, the user device associated with a user phone number, associating the user phone number and a first session state phone number with a state of the session, and sending a first message associated with the state of the session from the server to the user device, the first message sent from the first session state phone number to the user phone number.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

A method includes receiving a message from a user device, determining whether the message includes a tag, identifying at least one interaction the user device performed with an application responsive to determining that the message includes the tag, calculating a difference between a time the message was received and a time associated with the at least one identified interaction, determining whether the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within a threshold value, and associating the tag with the application associated with the at least one interaction responsive to determining that the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within the threshold value.

Abstract:

A scaling circuit residing on a single silicon substrate includes a buffer for storing a plurality of partially scaled data. A multiplier is provided for multiplying a weight signal with each of a plurality of input data to produce a plurality of weighted data. An adder is coupled to (1) the multiplier and (2) the buffer for adding each of the weighted data to one of the partially scaled data to produce a plurality of scaled data. When a first one of the scaled data is produced by the adder, the first one of the scaled data can remain in the buffer until displaced by a new data to be scaled such that the scaling circuit is directly coupled to an external bus without requiring any external buffering memory coupled in between. A method for scaling a block of data and transferring the scaled data to the bus is also described.
