Abstract: A data processing platform, method, and program product perform compression and decompression of a set of data items. Suffix data and a prefix are selected for each respective data item in the set of data items based on data content of the respective data item. The set of data items is sorted based on the prefixes. The prefixes are encoded by querying multiple encoding tables to create a code word containing compressed information representing values of all prefixes for the set of data items. The code word and suffix data for each of the data items are stored in memory. The code word is decompressed to recover the prefixes. The recovered prefixes are paired with their respective suffix data.

Abstract: In described examples, a coherent memory system includes a central processing unit (CPU) and first and second level caches. The CPU is arranged to execute program instructions to manipulate data in at least a first or second secure context. Each of the first and second caches stores a secure code for indicating the at least first or second secure contexts by which data for a respective cache line is received.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to performing varying frequency memory sub-system background scans using either or both a timer and an I/O event limit. This can be accomplished by identifying a background scan trigger event from one of multiple possible types of background scan trigger events, such as a timer expiration or reaching an event count limit. In response to the background scan trigger event, a background scan can be initiated on a memory portion. The background scan can produce results, such as CDF-based data. When a metric based on the results exceeds a background scan limit, a refresh relocation can be performed and logged. A metric can be generated based on the CDF-based data, obtained error recovery depth data, or refresh relocation event data. When the metric is above or below corresponding background scan thresholds, a background scan frequency can be adjusted.

Abstract: The subject application relates to computing an authentication tag for partial transfers scheduled across multiple direct memory access (DMA) engines. Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are described for computing an authentication tag for a data transfer when the data transfer is scheduled as partial transfers across a specified number of direct memory access (DMA) engines. An orchestration circuit stores partial authentication tags, computed by the DMA engines, and corresponding adjustment exponents during one or more rounds in which the partial transfers are scheduled and processed by the specified number of DMA engines. During a last round, a combined authentication tag can be computed based on the partial authentication tags and the corresponding adjustment exponents stored by the orchestration circuit during the rounds.
