Embodiments of the invention include an integrated circuit package and methods for its construction. The cooled package includes one or more dies with active electronic components. The reduction in cross-sectional area within the first segment provides desirable fuel and air mixing properties. In addition, the space required for installing any of the on board refueling vapor recovery system can also be reduced. The hardfacing bars are made up of carbide particles in a metallic matrix. The method also includes rendering a different video frame andor a surface on each processor of the number of processors, and leveraging the memory unit to store a video frame andor a surface rendered on a processor therein through the non-system bus based dedicated channel.
