Abstract: Aspects and features include using a virtual disk image to improve computational performance when applying a software patch. Compressed extents within a stored disk image are detected. The compressed extents are virtually reordered to form compressed forks within a virtual disk image and the compressed forks are selected for decompression based on code to be patched. A decompressed fork with the patch is virtually written to the same or another virtual disk image as an updated fork, and the virtual disk image is used to write to storage, either to overwrite the same stored disk image or to produce an updated, compressed disk image. In some examples, the virtual disk image is validated prior to writing to the compressed image by comparing an output hash from the compressed disk image with a known hash to validate the virtual disk image.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for addressing bank hotspotting are described. A computing system includes a memory controller with an arbiter for determining how to arbitrate access to one or more memory device(s) for received requests. The arbiter categorizes each request in a manner that helps to ensure fair virtual channel distribution across the banks of the memory device(s). The category system includes bank hotspotting functions to give banks that have more requests more chances to go over banks with fewer requests. The category system is implemented proportionally with more category credits given to banks with higher bank depths within the virtual channel.

Abstract: Improved positioning resolution and latency may be achieved via physical layer signaling between a mobile device (UE) and a base station. The physical layer procedures may aid target UEs in enhancing their positioning accuracy and latency, and/or reducing network overhead while boosting UE power efficiency. Accordingly, a base station may receive, via physical layer signaling from a UE, a request for positioning-resources, for example in response to a determination that current positioning-resources of the UE need to be adjusted. The base station may responsively transmit, via physical layer signaling to the UE, an indication of adjusted positioning-resources, and may optionally transmit an indication of corresponding allocated grant-resources. The base station may receive, via physical layer signaling from the UE, positioning information resulting from positioning measurements performed by the UE according to the adjusted positioning-resources.
