Backing Register File for processors

A processor is defined by a new architectural feature called a Backing Register File, where a Backing Register File is a set of randomly accessible registers capable of holding values, and further are directly connected to the processor's register files. The processor's register files are in turn connected to the processor's execution units. A Backing Register File is visible and controllable by users, allowing them to make use of a larger local address space increasing execution unit throughput thereby, while not changing the size of the processor's register files themselves.

Soft defect printability simulation and analysis for masks

Masks that include optical proximity correction or phase shifting regions are increasingly being used in the manufacturing process. These masks, either initially or after repair, can have “soft” defects, e.g. phase and / or transmission defects. In accordance with one feature of the invention, soft defect information can be computed from standard test images of a mask. This soft defect information can be used to generate an accurate simulated wafer image, thereby providing valuable defect impact information to a user. Knowing the impact of the soft defect can enable a user to make better decisions regarding the mask. Specifically, a user can now with confidence accept the mask for the desired lithographic process, repair the mask at certain critical locations, or reject the mask, all without exposing a wafer.

Online closet management and organizer system and method

An online system and method for managing and organizing closets (i.e., “walk-in” closets and the like). The system and method uses captured images of clothing items and accessories stored in the closet for managing and organizing the closet. Images of the clothing items and accessories are first captured using a digital camera. The captured images are transferred to a PC (Personal Computer) or the like for uploading to an online server. After receipt, these captured images are then classified based on attributes or characteristics of the clothing items and accessories (or their corresponding images). An example of such attributes is the “Designer” of the clothing item and accessory. After classification, the captured images are stored for future retrieval by a user. The captured images can also be grouped into outfits representing combinations of the clothing items and accessories.

Apparatus and method for refreshing a database query

Previously-optimized database queries are stored in memory. When a new query needs to be optimized, the previously-optimized queries are examined to determine whether the new query has been previously optimized. If the new query has not been previously optimized, the previously-optimized queries are examined to determine whether any previously-optimized queries differ only in data type of one or more operands when compared to the new query. If a previously-optimized query that differs only in data type is located, the previously-optimized query is refreshed to reflect the different data type without the need of optimizing the new query from scratch. Portions of previously-optimized queries may thus be re-used even when a previously-optimized query is not identical to a new query to be optimized. As a result, the performance of query optimization in a database system is increased.
