  • Cache refresh system and processes
    Patent number: 11880572
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to computer systems and, more particularly, to a cache refresh system and related processes and methods of use. The method of refreshing data in cache memory includes: setting, by a computer system, a refresh indicator to “true”; refreshing data in the cache memory, by the computer system, upon a determination that the refresh indicator is set to “true”; and setting, by the computer system, the refresh indicator to “false” after the refreshing of the cache memory.

  • Facilitating over-the-air address rotation
    Patent number: 11877334
    Abstract: A wireless client device communicates, to an access point over a secure channel, a mapping of a dynamic device address to a stable device address. By communicating the mapping, the access point is able to determine that packets received from two different device addresses originate from a common device. The access point is then able to maintain an association between the originating device and other network resources assigned or allocated to the originating device, such as IP addresses or infrastructure station address, which is used to identify the originating device to other devices outside the network in some embodiments.

  • Cut-resistant yarn structure
    Patent number: 11873586
    Abstract: Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide for cut-resistant yarn structures. An example cut-resistant yarn structure includes a first cut-resistant core filament a second cut-resistant core filament. The yarn structure further includes a first covering yarn that is wound over the first cut-resistant core filament and the second cut-resistant core filament. The first covering yarn includes a core-spun yarn in which staple fibers are spun over a third cut-resistant core filament. The yarn structure also includes one or more covering layers wound over the first covering yarn that may serve as the exterior layer for the cut-resistant yarn structure. In some instances, the first and second cut-resistant core filaments include a core-spun yarn in which staple fibers are spun over the first cut-resistant core filament and/or the second cut-resistant core filament.

  • Management of thrashing in a GPU
    Patent number: 11875197
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for managing a number of wavefronts permitted to concurrently execute in a processing system. An apparatus includes a register file with a plurality of registers and a plurality of compute units configured to execute wavefronts. A control unit of the apparatus is configured to allow a first number of wavefronts to execute concurrently on the plurality of compute units. The control unit is configured to allow no more than a second number of wavefronts to execute concurrently on the plurality of compute units, wherein the second number is less than the first number, in response to detection that thrashing of the register file is above a threshold. The control unit is configured to detect said thrashing based at least in part on a number of registers in use by executing wavefronts that spill to memory.

  • Horizontal scaling of version caches in a distributed high-concurrency multi-user environment
    Patent number: 11868255
    Abstract: Techniques for providing horizontally scaled caching of versioned data are provided. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including initializing a first version cache (VC) object based on a version of data stored in a data storage device; replicating the first VC to generate a second VC; receiving a write operation at the first VC; generating a delta for the write operation, the delta representing a change in the version of data; writing the delta to a persistent replication log, the persistent replication log storing an ordered set of deltas including the delta; writing data in the write operation to the data storage device; and applying the ordered set of deltas at the second VC to update data stored by the second VC.

  • Data reading and writing processing from and to a semiconductor memory and a memory of a host device by using first and second interface circuits
    Patent number: 11868618
    Abstract: A device includes a host including a main memory, and semiconductor memory including a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, memory unit, and controller. The nonvolatile semiconductor memory stores first address information. The memory unit stores second address information as part of the first address information. The controller accesses the nonvolatile semiconductor memory based on the second address information. Third address information is stored in the main memory, and is part or all of the first address information. The controller uses the third address information when accessing the nonvolatile semiconductor memory if address information to be referred is not stored in the second address information.

  • Power control for boot-up of memory systems
    Patent number: 11868632
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power control for boot-up of memory systems are described. A memory system may be configured to boot-up using two different power modes: a lower-power mode, and a higher-power mode. The memory system may perform a series of evaluations to determine whether the memory system is to switch to the lower-power mode during boot-up operations, or stay in the higher-power mode. For example, the memory system may check one or more of: a history of previous boot-up failures, a voltage of an associated power management integrated circuit, a history of asynchronous power loss at the device, a power-mode configuration of the host device, or a history of host-initiated power-down commands. In some examples, by switching to the lower-power mode, the memory system may avoid repeatedly failing multiple boot-up cycles and may instead successfully boot-up the memory system.
