  • Tunable power save loop for processor chips
    Patent number: 11169841
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for avoiding overvoltages of a processor chip. The method includes one or more processors identifying one or more processing units of a computing device. The method further includes determining respective activity levels of one or more processing elements of the one or more processing units of the computing device. The method further includes determining respective voltages of the one or more processing units of the computing device. The method further includes regulating the respective voltages of the one or more processing units of the computing device based at least in part on the respective activity levels of the one or more processing elements.
    Type: Grant

  • Unique instruction identifier that identifies common instructions across different code releases
    Patent number: 10903988
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving a first dictionary that includes key/value pairs for a first code listing. Key instances of the first dictionary include instruction addresses of the first code listing, and value instances of the first dictionary include hashes of data that uniquely identify instructions at the instruction addresses in the first code listing. A second dictionary that includes key/value pairs for a second code listing is received. Key instances of the second dictionary include hashes of data that uniquely identify instructions at instruction addresses in the second code listing, and value instances of the second dictionary include instruction addresses of the second code listing. A match between a value instance of the first dictionary and a key instance of the second dictionary is identified. Responsive to identifying the match, an instruction address is translated between the first code listing and the second code listing.
