  • Publication number: 20220360803
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for video frame codec architectures. A frame decompressor decompresses compressed frames to produce decompressed frames. A frame decompressor controller arbitrates shared access to the frame decompressor. Multiple cores of an SoC request to receive a decompressed frame from the frame decompressor via the frame decompressor controller. The frame decompressor controller can implement a request queue and can order the servicing of requests based on priority of the requests or requesting cores. The frame decompressor controller can also establish a time-sharing protocol for access by the multiple cores. In some implementations, a video decoder is logically integrated with the frame decompressor and stores portions of a decompressed frame in a video buffer, and a display controller retrieves the portions for display using a synchronization mechanism. In analogous manners, a frame compressor controller can arbitrate shared access to a frame compressor for the multiple cores.

  • Patent number: 11494216
    Abstract: A method for capturing VM resources for forensics includes receiving an indication of compromise (IoC). The indication of compromise indicates an attack is imminent against a virtual machine. The method also includes, in response to receiving the IoC and before the attack begins, snapshotting a memory state of memory used by the virtual machine and increasing a level of auditing of the virtual machine from a standard level of auditing to a heightened level of auditing. The heightened level of auditing generates data representative of all accesses to the memory used by the virtual machine. After the attack against the virtual machine has begun, the method includes maintaining the heightened level of auditing for a threshold period of time, notifying a user of the virtual machine of the indication of compromise, and storing the data in memory external to the virtual machine.
