One or more embodiments of a synchronization system facilitate selectivity synchronizing digital content items from a collection of digital content items to a local storage of a client device. In particular, one or more embodiments described herein collect and analyze recall data for users of a digital content management system with respect to digital content items to determine synchronization scores for the digital content items. One or more embodiments described herein further include selectively identifying a subset of the digital content items based on the synchronization scores to recommend for synchronization to a local storage of a client device.

Selectively identifying and recommending digital content items for synchronization

An electronic device display may have an active area with pixels. An optical sensor may be formed under a sensor region in the active area. During operation, ambient light and/or other light associated with the optical sensor may pass through the sensor region. To ensure that the light for the optical sensor can pass through the display, the display may have one or more layers with sensor openings such as a metal layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that attaches the metal layer to the pixels of the display. To help minimize visibility of the openings in the sensor region, the pressure sensitive adhesive layer may be configured to have a reflectivity that matches the appearance of the display in the sensor region to surrounding areas. Undesired light output uniformity can be reduced by ensuring that the substrate material in the display has a low light absorption coefficient.

In one embodiment, a cache coherent system includes one or more agents (e.g., coherent agents) that may cache data used by the system. The system may include a point of coherency in a memory controller in the system, and thus the agents may transmit read requests to the memory controller to coherently read data. The point of coherency may determine if the data is cached in another agent, and may transmit a copy back request to the other agent if the other agent has modified the data. The system may include an interconnect between the agents and the memory controller. At a point on the interconnect at which traffic from the agents converges, a copy back response may be converted to a fill for the requesting agent.

In one embodiment, a cache coherent system includes one or more agents (e.g. coherent agents) that may cache data used by the system. The system may include a point of coherency in a memory controller in the system, and thus the agents may transmit read requests to the memory controller to coherently read data. The point of coherency may determine if the data is cached in another agent, and may transmit a copy back request to the other agent if the other agent has modified the data. The system may include an interconnect between the agents and the memory controller. At a point on the interconnect at which traffic from the agents converges, a copy back response may be converted to a fill for the requesting agent.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a distributed global ordering point are disclosed. A system includes at least a communication fabric, sequencing logic, and a plurality of coherence point pipelines. Each coherence point pipeline receives transactions from the communication fabric and then performs coherence operations and a memory cache lookup for the received transactions. The global ordering point of the system is distributed across the outputs of the separate coherence point pipelines. Device-ordered transactions travelling upstream toward memory are assigned sequence numbers by the sequencing logic. The transactions are speculatively issued from the communication fabric to the coherence point pipelines. Speculatively issuing the transactions to the coherence point pipelines may cause the transactions to pass through the distributed global ordering point out of order. Control logic on the downstream path reorders the transactions based on the assigned sequence numbers.

An embodiment of the invention may include a cleaving apparatus. The cleaving apparatus may include a first arm having a first cleaving wedge and a second arm having a second cleaving wedge. The first cleaving wedge may include a first front surface and a first bottom surface, where the first front surface is oriented away from the first bottom surface. The second cleaving wedge may include a second front surface and a second bottom surface, where the second front surface is oriented away from the second bottom surface. The first arm and the second arm may be arranged to move with respect to each other. Further, the cleaving apparatus may include a heating apparatus located in the first cleaving wedge.
