Abstract: A method of determining vulnerability of a cache memory includes associating a first counter with a cache element and periodically incrementing the first counter. When a read or other access that consumes the data in the cache element occurs, a current value of the first counter is accumulated. When a write or other cache access that modifies data in the cache element occurs, the first counter is reset. At the end of an evaluation period, the value in a total counter approximates the number of clock cycles during which data that was consumed was vulnerable. Dividing this value by the number of clock cycles approximates the vulnerability of this cache element. The vulnerability for a subset of all cache elements may be measured and extrapolated to obtain an estimate for the vulnerability of the cache memory as a whole.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and storage medium associated with selectively providing error correction to memory are disclosed herein. In one instance, an apparatus may include a memory controller configured to control access to a non-volatile memory having storage locations. The controller may be configured to provide a first error correction arrangement to provide a first level of error correction capability for data stored in the non-volatile memory. The memory controller may include a control/error correction block configured to provide a second error correction arrangement with a second level of error correction capability for data stored in the non-volatile memory. The second level of error correction capability enables correction of at least one bit error more than the first level. The memory controller may be configured to selectively employ the second error correction arrangement to complement the first error correction arrangement. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.

Abstract: A method of an aspect includes determining a different operational configuration for each of a plurality of different maximum failure rates. Each of the different maximum failure rates corresponds to a different task of a plurality of tasks. The method also includes enforcing a plurality of logic each executing a different task of the plurality of tasks to operate according to the different corresponding determined operational configuration. Other methods, apparatus, and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes at least one functional block and banking logic. The banking logic may be to determine an average reliability metric associated with the at least one functional block. The banking logic may also be to, if the average reliability metric exceeds a required level, implement a reduced reliability mode in the at least one functional block, where the reduced reliability mode is associated with a reduction in the average reliability metric. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A cord management system includes a strap. The strap has a first set of magnets attached to a first location on the strap and a second set of magnets attached to a second location on the strap. The strap also includes at least two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically attached to the second set of magnets so that a first segment of the strap located between the first set of magnets and the second set of magnets forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the strap. In a second mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically detached from the second set of magnets so that the first segment no longer forms the loop. The strap is also configured to be coupled to an object.

Abstract: A cord management system includes a case and a strap. The strap has a first attachment point at a first location on the strap and a second attachment point a second location on the strap. The strap also includes at least two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the first attachment point is attached to the second attachment point so that a first segment of the strap located between the first attachment point and the second attachment point forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the case. In a second mode of operation, the first attachment point is detached from the second attachment point so that the first segment no longer forms the loop. In some embodiments, the strap is permanently attached to the case, while in other embodiments the strap is semi-permanently attached to the case.
