One or more processor cores of a multiple-core processing device each can utilize a processing pipeline having a plurality of execution units (e.g., integer execution units or floating point units) that together share a pre-execution front-end having instruction fetch, decode and dispatch resources. Further, one or more of the processor cores each can implement dispatch resources configured to dispatch multiple instructions in parallel to multiple corresponding execution units via separate dispatch buses. The dispatch resources further can opportunistically decode and dispatch instruction operations from multiple threads in parallel so as to increase the dispatch bandwidth. Moreover, some or all of the stages of the processing pipelines of one or more of the processor cores can be configured to implement independent thread selection for the corresponding stage.

Differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, such as human embryonic stem cells (hESC), into hepatocytes by in vitro methods is disclosed. The pluripotent stem cells are cultured in conditioned medium from the hepatocarcinoma cell line, HepG2. Specific growth factors and defined media may also be added to the medium for stage specific differentiation of the derived hepatocytes. Hepatocytes differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells may be characterized by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), immunofluorescence analysis (IF), real time polymerase reaction (RT-PCR), and functional assays. The methods disclosed herein are able to differentiate high percentages of hepatocytes from human pluripotent stem cells using the disclosed methods. These differentiated cells may exhibit polygonal shape morphology, typical of hepatocytes, and may express hepatocyte specific genes. The differentiated cells may also be positive for definitive endoderm markers and hepatic markers.

The invention discloses a method for picking a color of an adjustment interface of a special effect monitoring instrument. The method is used for picking the color in nonlinear editing and cutting software and video and audio later-stage specific processing and synthesis software. The technical problem is that an image is displayed on the special effect monitoring instrument, and original color information of an input special effect image is acquired at the same time. In order to solve the technical problem, bottom layer node information, current frame information and output pin information acquired according to input pin information are acquired by extracting image information on a special effect node; a topology relation of connection among nodes is finally established; and information of an input image is acquired. According to the method, the information of the input image of the current special effect plugin is acquired according to the connection relation of the nodes in a whole video special effect processing process, so that a color value of an appointed position can be acquired accurately; and furthermore, due to the mode, the image information in an appointed region on the adjustment interface of the special effect monitoring instrument can be acquired.
