The disclosure provides grey cast iron-doped diamond-like carbon coating compositions useful for reducing friction and wear in mechanical contact surfaces and methods for deposition of such compositions.

Grey cast iron-doped diamond-like carbon coatings and methods for depositing same

In one embodiment, in an execution pipeline having a plurality of execution subunits, a method of using a bypass network to directly forward data from a producing execution subunit to a consuming execution subunit is provided. The method includes producing output data with the producing execution subunit, consuming input data with the consuming execution subunit, for one or more intervening operations whose input is the output data from the producing execution subunit and whose output is the input data to the consuming execution subunit, evaluating those one or more intervening operations to determine whether their execution would compose an identify function, and if the one or more intervening operations would compose such an identity function, controlling the bypass network to forward the producing execution subunit's output data directly to the consuming execution subunit.

Execution pipeline data forwarding

Network connectivity may be managed on a computing device. An identifier of each wireless access point or network that is available at a given location is determined. The identifier determined without the device attempting to connect to any available wireless access point or network at the given location. Each determined identifier is compared to one or more network identifiers that are known to the device. The device connects to an available wireless access point having the identifier that is known and detected.

Technique for managing wireless networks

Antenna sharing techniques are described. A mobile computing device may comprise an antenna, a switch to couple to the antenna, and multiple transceivers to couple to the switch. The mobile computing device may also comprise an antenna management module to couple to the switch and the transceivers. The antenna management module may control the switch to electrically connect one of the transceivers to the antenna. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Antenna sharing techniques

A processing bypass register file system and method are disclosed. In one embodiment a processing bypass register file includes a rotating head pointer, and a plurality of write ports, storage cells and read ports. The write ports receive processing result information. The head pointer identifies which entries are written by the write ports. The plurality of cells store the processing result information. The read ports forward results to the processing data path, and to an architectural register file for retirement.

Processing bypass register file system and method

A method and apparatus for breaking complex X86 segment operations and segmented memory addressing into explicit sub-operations so that they may be exposed to compiler or translator-based optimizations.

Method and apparatus for improving segmented memory addressing

A method and apparatus for breaking complex X86 segment operations and segmented addressing into explicit sub-operations so that they may be exposed to compiler or translator-based optimizations.

The present invention system and method provides voltage level support for an output target signal (e.g., a dynamic node output signal) that 'keeps' the output target signal at a particular voltage level with efficient suspension of the voltage level maintenance or support during an evaluation transition period (e.g., a read operation) of the output target signal.

Dynamic node keeper system and method

A method and apparatus for breaking complex X86 segment operations and segmented memory addressing into explicit sub-operations so that they may be exposed to compiler or translator-based optimizations. A method includes providing a first segment selector for deriving a linear address of a segment descriptor in a first descriptor table and providing a second segment selector for deriving a linear address of a segment descriptor in a second descriptor table. The method also includes attempting an access of the first descriptor table to derive a segment descriptor, and if the access of the first descriptor table fails, attempting an access of the second descriptor table to derive a segment descriptor. The method also includes storing a derived segment descriptor from a successful attempted access in a descriptor register.
