A viewing angle cost function is determined that defines optimal viewing angles at least with respect to minimizing foreshortening of the target region. Using the cost function, an image may be selected from among a set of images, which potentially does not match the optimal imaging angle due to the optimal imaging angle having a high cost as a result of overlapping vascular features. The selected image may have an imaging angle that corresponds to a lower cost due to less overlap compared to the optimal imaging angle. |

Reducing translation lookaside buffer searches for splintered pages
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing efficient translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation operations for splintered pages are described. When a TLB receives an invalidation request for a specified translation context, and the invalidation request maps to an entry with a relatively large page size, the TLB does not know if there are multiple translation entries stored in the TLB for smaller splintered pages of the relatively large page. The TLB tracks whether or not splintered pages for each translation context have been installed. If a TLB invalidate (TLBI) request is received, and splintered pages have not been installed, no searches are needed for splintered pages. To refresh the sticky bits, whenever a full TLB search is performed, the TLB rescans for splintered pages for other translation contexts. If no splintered pages are found, the sticky bit can be cleared and the number of full TLBI searches is reduced. |

Method and apparatus for efficient chip-to-chip data transfer
Data transfer between caching domains of a data processing system is achieved by a local coherency node (LCN) of a first caching domain receiving a read request for data associated with a second caching domain, from a requesting node of the first caching domain.
