  • Publication number: 20230195860
    Abstract: One or more embodiments herein relate to a process to dynamically decrypt code of a software. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components can comprise a decryption component that, in response to an indication being received that encrypted code of a code block is to be used, can temporarily decrypt the encrypted code of the code block into decrypted code for use of the decrypted code in an unencrypted state. In an embodiment, an encryption component can obtain and encrypt code of the code block at compile time of the code block to provide the encrypted code. In an embodiment, an encryption component can write a trigger marker into the encrypted code of the code block when encrypting code of the code block to provide the encrypted code.

  • Patent number: 10198362
    Abstract: Reducing bandwidth consumption when performing free memory list cache maintenance in compressed memory schemes of processor-based systems is disclosed. In this regard, a memory system including a compression circuit is provided. The compression circuit includes a compress circuit that is configured to cache free memory lists using free memory list caches comprising a plurality of buffers. When a number of pointers cached within the free memory list cache falls below a low threshold value, an empty buffer of the plurality of buffers is refilled from a system memory. In some aspects, when a number of pointers of the free memory list cache exceeds a high threshold value, a full buffer of the free memory list cache is emptied to the system memory. In this manner, memory access operations for emptying and refilling the free memory list cache may be minimized.

  • Patent number: 10169246
    Abstract: Reducing metadata size in compressed memory systems of processor-based systems is disclosed. In one aspect, a compressed memory system provides 2N compressed data regions, corresponding 2N sets of free memory lists, and a metadata circuit. The metadata circuit associates virtual addresses with abbreviated physical addresses, which omit N upper bits of corresponding full physical addresses, of memory blocks of the 2N compressed data regions. A compression circuit of the compressed memory system receives a memory access request including a virtual address, and selects one of the 2N compressed data regions and one of the 2N sets of free memory lists based on a modulus of the virtual address and 2N. The compression circuit retrieves an abbreviated physical address corresponding to the virtual address from the metadata circuit, and performs a memory access operation on a memory block associated with the abbreviated physical address in the selected compressed data region.
