Publication number: 20240095340Abstract: Technologies for untrusted code execution include a computing device having a processor with sandbox support. The computing device executes code included in a native domain in a non-privileged, native processor mode. The computing device may invoke a sandbox jump processor instruction during execution of the code in the native domain to enter a sandbox domain. The computing device executes code in the sandbox domain in a non-privileged, sandbox processor mode in response to invoking the sandbox jump instruction. While executing in the sandbox processor mode, the processor denies access to memory outside of the sandbox domain and may deny execution of one or more prohibited instructions. From the sandbox domain, the computing device may execute a sandbox exit instruction to exit the sandbox domain and resume execution in the native domain. The computing device may execute processor instructions to configure the sandbox domain. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Mingwei Zhang, Mingqiu Sun, Ravi L.

Patent number: 11922220Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Mohammad R.

Publication number: 20230018149Abstract: Systems and methods for code generation for a plurality of architectures. At a host architecture, a JIT compile operation is performed for a received JavaScript or Web Assembly file. The JIT compiler references a host library that has been updated to include at least one new JIT instruction. Output from the JIT compile operation is compiled machine code for the host architecture that has new opcodes (OPX) added, responsive to the new JIT instruction. The JIT compiler executes the opcodes (OPX) in XuCode mode, meaning that the host architecture switches into a hardware protected private ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) called XuCode to implement the new JIT opcode instruction in XuCode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Mingqiu Sun, Rajesh Poornachandran, Vincent Zimmer, Gopinatth Selvaraje
