  • Patent number: 12007936
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of providing provide efficient waiting for detection of memory value updates for Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) architectures. An ARM processor component instructs a memory agent to perform a processing action, and executes a waiting function. The waiting function ensures that the processing action is completed by the memory agent. The waiting function performs an exclusive load at a memory location, and a wait for event (WFE) instruction that causes the ARM processor component to wait in a low-power mode for an event register to be set. Once the event register is set, the waiting function completes and a second processing action is executed by the ARM processor component.

  • Publication number: 20240163260
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for secure management of a data processing unit (“DPU”). In an example, a baseboard management controller (“BMC”) can provision a DPU. Provisioning can include configuring a local storage device for DPU storage and locking access to the DPU storage with an encrypted access key. To boot the DPU, the BMC can initiate DPU firmware on the DPU. The DPU firmware can retrieve the access key from the BMC and unlock the DPU storage with the access key. The DPU firmware can be configured to then delete the access key. Once the DPU storage is unlocked, the DPU firmware can load an operating system of the DPU. The BMC can be the only entity that retains the access key. To perform a secure wipe, instructions can be provided to the BMC to delete the access key, which renders the DPU storage and all data therein inaccessible.
