  • Publication number: 20200314578
    Abstract: A device to perform audio signal equalization includes one or more processors configured to receive impulse response data corresponding to multiple audio channels. Each audio channel is associated with a corresponding microphone of multiple microphones of an audio device and indicative of sound propagation from one or more speakers of the audio device to the corresponding microphone. The one or more processors are configured to generate equalization filter data that is based on the impulse response data and that is indicative of multiple equalization filters. Each of the equalization filters is associated with a corresponding audio channel of the multiple audio channels. The one or more processors are also configured to process the equalization filter data to determine a playback equalization filter to be applied to an audio playback signal prior to playout at the one or more speakers.

  • Publication number: 20200257454
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for securely erasing partitions of reconfigurable logic devices such as FPGAs in a multi-tenant server environment. In one example, a method of securely erasing an FPGA includes identifying one partition of previously-programmed resources in the FPGA, erasing the identified partition by storing new values in memory or storage elements of the identified partition, and storing new values in memory or storage elements of additional external resources electrically connected to the integrated circuit and associated with the identified partition. Thus, other partitions and subsequent users of the identified partition are prevented from accessing the securely erased data. A configuration circuit, accessible by a host computer via DMA, can be programmed into the FPGA reconfigurable logic for performing the disclosed erasing operations.

  • Patent number: 10740466
    Abstract: Interfaces of a compute node on a printed circuit board can be secured by obfuscating the information communicated over the interfaces. Data to be communicated between the compute node and a device on the printed circuit board using an interface can be encrypted, and an address corresponding to the data to be communicated can be scrambled. In addition, the compute node can be the root of trust which can provide secure boot of different components using an on-chip mechanism, and without relying on external devices.

The apparatus also includes a tracking logic coupled to the control logic and configured to track write operations performed to the source memory range while data is being copied from the source memory range to the destination memory. The control logic is further configured to initiate copying data associated with the tracked write operations to the destination memory.

  • Publication number: 20190293715
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for programming reconfigurable logic devices such as FPGAs in a multi-tenant server environment. In one example, a computing host includes one or more processors configured to execute a supervisor process and two or more user processes and a single FPGA integrated circuit configured into a plurality of partitions. The partitions include a host logic partition that is accessible only to the supervisor process executing on the computing host, and two or more accelerator partitions. Each of the accelerator partitions is configured to include a virtual debug unit with a logic analyzer that collects logic signals generated by logic within the respective accelerator partition and sends debug data indicating values of the logic signals to one of the user processes. In some examples, the host logic partitions and/or the accelerator partitions can be independently reprogrammed of each other within their respective portions of the single FPGA.

  • Patent number: 10423438
    Abstract: In a multi-tenant environment, separate virtual machines can be used for configuring and operating different subsets of programmable integrated circuits, such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The programmable integrated circuits can communicate directly with each other within a subset, but cannot communicate between subsets. Generally, all of the subsets of programmable ICs are within a same host server computer within the multi-tenant environment, and are sandboxed or otherwise isolated from each other so that multiple customers can share the resources of the host server computer without knowledge or interference with other customers.
