Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a hierarchical scheduling in fixed-function graphics pipeline are disclosed. In various implementations, a processor includes a pipeline comprising a plurality of fixed-function units and a scheduler. The scheduler is configured to schedule a first operation for execution by one or more fixed-function units of the pipeline by scheduling the first operation with a first unit of the pipeline, responsive to a first mode of operation and schedule a second operation for execution by a selected fixed-function unit of the pipeline by scheduling the second operation directly to the selected fixed-function unit, independent of a sequential arrangement of the one or more fixed-function units in the pipeline, responsive to a second mode of operation.

A method for hierarchical work scheduling includes consuming a work item at a first scheduling domain having a local scheduler circuit and one or more workgroup processing elements. Consuming the work item produces a set of new work items. Subsequently, the local scheduler circuit distributes at least one new work item of the set of new work items to be executed locally at the first scheduling domain. If the local scheduler circuit of the first scheduling domain determines that the set of new work items includes one or more work items that would overload the first scheduling domain with work if scheduled for local execution, those work items are distributed to the next higher-level scheduler circuit in a scheduling domain hierarchy for redistribution to one or more other scheduling domains.

An instrumented wheelset system and method for providing an accurate and integrated instrumented wheelset on a train or other vehicle is provided. A subject wheelset is profiled and subjected to finite element analysis. Simulated loading of the wheelset is used to help determine suitable target locations on the wheelset surface for placement of strain sensors. Simulated output of the strain sensors so positioned is recorded to develop wheel sensitivities, without inaccuracies due to strain sensor output ripple and crosstalk. The strain sensors are installed based on the modelled characteristics, and subjected to methodical calibration on a calibration fixture. After any adjustments, the wheelset may be installed on a vehicle including a computer and intelligent data acquisition units for gathering wheelplate data on a live-rolling, realtime basis.

A frozen dairy dessert product having on a non-flavored basis, from about 3% to about 20% of a polyol fatty acid polyester, from 0% to about 8% of a triglyceride fat, from about 0.3% to about 0.7% of an emulsifier, from about 10% to about 19% of milk solids not fat, from about 6% to about 15% of a carbohydrate sweetener, such as sucrose, from 0% to about 15% (dry solids basis) of low dextrose equivalent corn syrup solids having a dextrose equivalent (DE) of from about 20 to about 36, from 0% to about 6% (dry solids basis) of high DE corn syrup solids having a DE of from about 36 to about 95, from 0% to 6% (dry solids basis) of dextrin having a DE of less than about 20, from 0% to about 3% of starch and from 0% to about 0.5% stabilizer. A white mix containing all of the ingredients is prepared by adding the ingredients, including the polyol polyester to heated water with agitation. The white mix is pasteurized and homogenized at high pressure of above about 5000 psig to provide a pre-blend of the frozen dairy dessert components.

A structure to provide increased surface area on the head of a shaker used for vibrational testing. The structure includes a base plate for attachment to the head of the shaker and a larger expanded head connected thereto by a frustoconical structure surrounding a cylindrical structure surrounding a spoke structure, all designed to increase the vibrational frequency at which undesired vibratory modes appear in the surface of the expanded head which otherwise can provide nonuniform vibration loading to the items attached thereto during testing. The structure also includes improved means for attachment to the shaker.
