Publication number: 20210357224Abstract: A system and method for the dynamic, run-time configuration of logic core register files, and the provision of an associated execution context. The dynamic register tiles as well as the associated execution context information are software-defined so as to be virtually configured in random-access memory. This virtualization of both the processor execution context and register files enables the size, structure and performance to be specified at run-time and tailored to the specific processing, instructions and data associated with a given processor state or thread, thereby minimizing both the aggregate memory required and the context switching time. In addition, the disclosed system and method provides for processor virtualization which further enhances the flexibility and efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2020Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: Unisys CorporationInventors: Andrew Ward Beale, David Strong

Patent number: 11030305Abstract: Virtual machines in a network may be isolated by encrypting transmissions between the virtual machines with keys possessed only by an intended recipient. Within a network, the virtual machines may be logically organized into a number of community-of-interest (COI) groups. Each COI may use an encryption key to secure communications within the COI, such that only other virtual machines in the COI may decrypt the message. Remote devices may gain access to virtual machines in a network through a virtual device relay. The virtual device relay receives data from the remote device, such as a tablet or cellular phone, and forwards the data to one of the virtual machines, when the virtual device relay shares a COI with the destination virtual machine.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Ralph Farina, Ted Hinaman, Robert A.

Publication number: 20210109916Abstract: The present invention provides for employing SQL to introduce blockchain technologies into a relational database, and thereby leverage the inherent tamper-resistant properties of blockchain, without the need to completely rewrite existing or legacy relational database software. The invention creates a relational database inside of a blockchain and uses a conventional SQL interface for standard database operations. This reduces the burden of introducing blockchain technologies, while providing the benefits of the intrinsic security and verification features of blockchain technology. The invention provides a rich historical record of every transaction thereby greatly reducing, if not eliminating, the relational database's susceptibility to tampering. This allows for temporal queries on arbitrary records within the database and the generation of reports and audits for any point in the history of the database.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2019Publication date: April 15, 2021Applicant: Unisys CorporationInventors: Devon Andrew Beckett, James David Fletcher, Max Hirsch, Vidya Mudalagiri Venkatesha, Alex George
