Abstract: In connection with compression of an input stream, multiple portions of the input stream are searched against previously received portions of the input stream to find any matches of character strings in the previously received portions of the input stream. In some cases, matches of longer character strings, as opposed to shorter character strings, can be selected for inclusion in an encoded stream that is to be compressed. Delayed selection can occur whereby among multiple matches, a match that is longer can be selected for inclusion in the encoded stream and non-selected a character string match is reverted to a literal. A search engine that is searching an input stream to identify a repeat pattern of characters can cease to search for characters that were included in the selected character string match.

Abstract: A compression scheme can be selected for an input data stream based on characteristics of the input data stream. For example, when the input data stream is searched for pattern matches, input stream characteristics used to select a compression scheme can include one or more of: type and size of an input stream, a length of a pattern, a distance from a start of where the pattern is to be inserted to the beginning of where the pattern occurred previously, a gap between two pattern matches (including different or same patterns), standard deviation of a length of a pattern, standard deviation of a distance from a start of where the pattern is to be inserted to the beginning of where the pattern occurred previously, or standard deviation of a gap between two pattern matches. Criteria can be established whereby one or more characteristics are used to select a particular encoding scheme.

Abstract: A compression engine includes sets of independent search engines. The sets of independent search engines concurrently perform searches for a longest match in a stream of uncompressed data. The searches are distributed amongst the sets of independent search engines on byte boundaries to load balance the use of the search engines.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and/or methods to provide memory data protection. In one example, authenticated encryption may be enhanced via a modification to an authentication code that is associated with encrypted data.

Moreover, data freshness control for data stored in the memory may be provided based on iterative authentication and re-encryption. In addition, a counter used to provide a nonce value may be managed to reduce a size of the counter and/or a growth of the counter.

Abstract: A system for limiting or diminishing current to unpowered Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) circuitry is provided. The system comprises receiver input termination circuitry and a cold spare circuitry. The receiver input circuitry comprises a termination resistor and an N-type metal oxide silicon field effect transistor (MOSFET). The cold spare circuitry comprises a first MOSFET and a second MOSFET.

When the system is powered off, the input current flows to the cold spare circuitry to discharge the input current. Discharging electrons between the first MOSFET and the second MOSFET depends on the polarity of an accumulated voltage.
