Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing efficient memory accesses for a computing system are disclosed. When a memory controller in a computing system determines a threshold number of memory access requests have not been sent to the memory device in a current mode of a read mode and a write mode, a first cost corresponding to a latency associated with sending remaining requests in either the read queue or the write queue associated with the current mode is determined. If the first cost exceeds the cost of a data bus turnaround, the cost of a data bus turnaround comprising a latency incurred when switching a transmission direction of the data bus from one direction to an opposite direction, then a second cost is determined for sending remaining memory access requests to the memory device. If the second cost does not exceed the cost of the data bus turnaround, then a time for the data bus turnaround is indicated and the current mode of the memory controller is changed.

Abstract: A cyber clone of a computing entity stores a request received at the computing entity and a response sent from the computing entity. An external request from an attacker is compared with the recorded request. In response to a match the associated recorded response is sent to the attacker. In response to the external request not matching the recorded request, a false, deceiving response is provided. Alternatively the external request is forwarded to the computing entity, and a live response is forwarded to the attacker. The external request and live response for the current state are optionally stored.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for dynamic buffer management in multi-client token flow control routers are disclosed. A system includes at least one or more processing units, a memory, and a communication fabric with a plurality of routers coupled to the processing unit(s) and the memory. A router servicing multiple active clients allocates a first number of tokens to each active client. The first number of tokens is less than a second number of tokens needed to saturate the bandwidth of each client to the router. The router also allocates a third number of tokens to a free pool, with tokens from the free pool being dynamically allocated to different clients. The third number of tokens is equal to the difference between the second number of tokens and the first number of tokens. An advantage of this approach is reducing the amount of buffer space needed at the router.
