  • Publication number: 20240020150
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a multi-processor system on a chip which includes at least a first execution domain processor that is configured to run a first execution domain by accessing one or more system-on-chip resources; a first control point processor that is physically and programmatically independent from the first execution domain processor and that is configured to generate a first runtime isolation control data stream for controlling access to the one or more system-on-chip resources by the first execution domain; and an access control circuit connected between the first execution domain processor and the one or more system-on-chip resources and configured to provide a dynamic runtime isolation barrier in response to the first runtime isolation control data stream, thereby controlling access to the one or more system-on-chip resources by the first execution domain.

  • Publication number: 20240020379
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a multi-processor SoC which includes an execution domain processor for running an execution domain which hosts independent software partitions by accessing, for each software partition, one or more SoC resources; a control point processor that generates control data with pre-emption vectors for controlling access to the SoC resources by identifying at least a first SoC resource that each software partition is allowed to access; and an access control circuit connected between the execution domain and the SoC resources and configured to provide, in response to the control data, a dynamic runtime isolation barrier which enables the execution domain processor to switch between software partitions in response to a pre-emption interrupt trigger by fetching partition instructions from a corresponding pre-emption interrupt vector address in memory that is associated with the pre-emption interrupt trigger.

  • Publication number: 20220349286
    Abstract: An enhanced oil recovery method in which carbon dioxide is injected into a well to pressure the well or add lift a production flow from the well recaptures the injected carbon dioxide for reinjection into the well for lift or into another well in a group of for pressuring the well or adding lift to the production flow from the well. Geothermal energy in the production stream can be converted to electrical power for use in the recapturing of the carbon dioxide or other operations at the well site.
