Execution of a program's instructions in a simultaneous multithreaded processor is halted while the program is waiting for one or more events to occur by first arming an event monitor upon an arm instruction, that is, identifying to the event monitor one or more events to be monitored, such as a modification to a value or state of an identified memory location or group of locations, and setting a watch flag to indicate enable the event monitor. Upon execution of a quiesce request instruction, the program quiesces if the watch flag is set, and a timer is started. Upon observation by the event monitor of an identified event, or upon expiration of the timer, the watch flag is cleared and execution of the program resumes.

Temporary halting of thread execution until monitoring of armed events to memory location identified in working registers

In a computerized method, text segments of a text file are aligned with audio segments of an audio file. The text file includes written words, and the audio file includes spoken words. A vocabulary and language model are generated from the text segment. A word list is recognized from the audio segment using the vocabulary and language model. The word list is aligned with the text segment, and corresponding anchors are chosen in the word list and text segment. Using the anchors, the text segment and the audio segment are partitioned into unaligned and aligned segments according to the anchors. These steps are repeated for any unaligned segments until a termination condition is reached.

Method for aligning text with audio signals

In a computer system, a memory is allocated to a plurality of ports. The ports are arranged in a spatial ordering. A plurality of various sized data items are temporally ordered in each of the plurality of ports. Each data item includes a time-stamp to indicate the temporal ordering of the plurality of data items. The plurality of data items are atomically accessed by a plurality of threads using space and time coordinates. The space and time coordinates uniquely identify each of the plurality of data items.
