Abstract: To calculate PageRank with high accuracy using transaction data held by a plurality of data sources as input and keeping the transaction data of each data source secret. A data source apparatus (1) calculates a transaction rate for each combination of transaction entities (S12). The data source apparatus (1) encrypts the transaction rate and transmits the encrypted transaction rate to each secure computation apparatus (2) (S13). Each secure computation apparatus (2) receives a ciphertext of the transaction rate from a plurality of data source apparatuses (1) (S21). The secure computation apparatus (2) securely calculates a ciphertext which becomes, when decrypted, PageRank of the computational objective transaction entity by using the ciphertext of the transaction rate related to the computational objective transaction entity and the ciphertext of the PageRank of a transaction counterpart (S22).

Abstract: A training operation may be performed by a memory controller to provide a system clock signal and a data clock signal having a desired temporal (e.g., phase) relationship to one another. The system clock and data clock signals may be provided to a memory. In some examples, the memory controller may provide a command to the memory to put the memory in a training mode. Once in the training mode, the memory controller may provide a write command and toggle the data clock signal a number of times. If the memory provides one output, the memory controller may adjust the relationship between the data clock and system clock signals. If the memory provides another output, the memory controller may maintain the relationship between the data clock and system clock signals and exit the training mode.
