Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for analyzing work skills. In one aspect, a method includes receiving work task data specifying a plurality of work tasks for a plurality of service providers. For each service provider, receiving performance data specifying an objective measure of a performance metric associated with the service provider performing a work task; receiving assessment data specifying a subjective measure of an attribute associated with the service provider performing the work task; and generating skills data for the service provider based on an aggregation of the assessment data and the performance data. For each of a plurality of customers receiving customer data specifying work tasks requested by the customer; generating mapping data specifying measures of correlation between the skills data for the service providers and the customer data specifying work tasks requested by the customer; and providing the mapping data to an information provider.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing fairness in a multi-processing element environment is herein described. Mask elements are utilized to associated portions of a reservation station with each processing element, while still allowing common access to another portion of reservation station entries. Additionally, bias logic biases selection of processing elements in a pipeline away from a processing element associated with a blocking stall to provide fair utilization of the pipeline.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to provide misprediction recovery through periodic checkpoint are described. In one embodiment, a renamer unit (e.g., within a processor core) recovers a register alias table (RAT) to a state immediately preceding a misprediction.
Abstract:
An apparatus is described having an out-of-order instruction execution pipeline. The out-of-order execution pipeline has a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is to hold a pointer to physical storage space where information is kept that cannot yet be confirmed as being free of potential dependencies on the information. The second circuit is to hold the pointer if the pointer existed in the first circuit when a non speculative region of program code ended and upon retirement of a following speculative overwriter instruction originally coded to overwrite the information.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for determining if an instruction of a first thread dispatched from a first queue associated with the first thread is stalled in a pipestage of a pipeline, and if so, dispatching an instruction of a second thread from a second queue associated with the second thread to the pipeline if the second thread is not stalled. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
