Method and system for detecting object presence and its duration in a given area

A system (10) for determining a presence, identity, and duration of presence in a given area of an object includes one or more mobile transmitters (12) that periodically send out a beacon signal. A node (14) includes a receiver (16) that receives a beacon signal whenever a mobile transmitter (12) is within a threshold range of the node (14). The node (14) includes a controller (18) that determines a signal strength of each received beacon signal. The controller (18) compares the signal strength of each received beacon signal to a reference signal strength associated with the threshold range in order to determine whether the mobile transmitter (12) was within the desired detection area of the node (14). A base unit (24) sorts received information packets for processing by a base computer (28) in order to determine what mobile transmitter (12) was at what node (14) and for how long.

Method and system for prefetching data

In prefetching cache lines from a main memory to a cache memory, an array of memory locations to be prefetched is determined and a base address indicating a highest address in the array is identified as well as a loop index used to point to the first address in the array. A prefetch index, which is the loop index plus a latency / transfer value, is used to prefetch memory locations as the array is processed. After a memory location is prefetched and initialized, the loop index and the prefetch index are incremented. The prefetch index is compared to a threshold value. If the prefetch index is less than the threshold value, then the next memory location in the array is prefetched and the prefetch index is again incremented and compared to the threshold value. If the prefetch index is equal to or greater than the threshold value, then the prefetch instruction is converted to a no operation instruction to prevent memory locations outside of the array from being prefetched during the processing of the array.
