  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7647263
    Abstract: A computerized data processing system for performing risk analysis of a portfolio, the system including a modeling and calibration unit configured to describe risk factors as random variables, the random variables being related to each other by a correlation matrix; an input unit configured to enter or choose calibration data and to obtain, by using the modeling and calibration unit, values for parameters that describe the degree of freedom for sub-vectors and to obtain values for the correlation matrix for the random variables, to enter or choose at least one risk mapping function, and to enter portfolio data of a portfolio to be analyzed; a simulation unit configured to simulate realization of the risk factors by using the correlation matrix; and an output unit configured to generate output data resulting from the simulation unit in a form of at least one of a risk measure or a price.
