A cold rolling process for impressing a pattern on a surface of a sheet metal article involves passing the sheet article through a pair of rolls and engaging a patterning feature with isolated areas of a surface of the sheet article, at a localized pressure to plastically deform at least the surface of the sheet article. A rolling pressure is maintained on other areas of the sheet article that is less than the bulk elastic yield strength of the metal. A cold rolling apparatus is also described having a pair of rolls, each with partially cylindrical outer surfaces. The rolls have a gap between the cylindrical parts. One of the rolls has a localized surface region that is displaced relative to the surface of the roll. When the localized region is brought near the other roll, a spacing exists that is narrower than the gap. One of the rolls has a localized patterning feature that aligns with the localized surface region to impress a pattern into the sheet article. The gap allows the rolls to engage opposite surfaces of the sheet article while imparting compression less than a bulk elastic yield strength of the metal.

A SIMD processor efficiently utilizes its hardware resources to achieve higher data processing throughput. The effective width of a SIMD processor is extended by clocking the instruction processing side of the SIMD processor at a fraction of the rate of the data processing side and by providing multiple execution pipelines, each with multiple data paths. As a result, higher data processing throughput is achieved while an instruction is fetched and issued once per clock. This configuration also allows a large group of threads to be clustered and executed together through the SIMD processor so that greater memory efficiency can be achieved for certain types of operations like texture memory accesses performed in connection with graphics processing.

The band is provided with tabs that insert through slots provided in the back of the fan wheel, and the tabs can be bent over as a means of removably securing the band to the fan wheel. The band effective reduces the functional width of the fan blades in proportion to the width of the band.
