Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data processing system performs a secure boot using a security module (e.g., a trusted platform module (TPM)) of a host system. The system verifies that an operating system (OS) and one or more drivers including an accelerator driver associated with a data processing (DP) accelerator is provided by a trusted source. The system launches the accelerator driver within the OS. The system generates a trusted execution environment (TEE) associated with one or more processors of the host system. The system launches an application and a runtime library within the TEE, where the application communicates with the DP accelerator via the runtime library and the accelerator driver.

Abstract: Various examples are described for detecting heart rate and respiratory rate by using measurements of light applied to skin through an article. For example, a sensor application obtains a set of measurements of light. The application compensates for a contribution of the article based on one or more known optical properties of the article. The sensor application further determines, from the set of measurements of light, a periodic change in amplitude. The sensor application identifies the periodic change in amplitude as a heart rate having an identical periodicity. The sensor application identifies a respiratory rate as equal to the rate of change of the heart rate.
