Abstract: This specification describes a programmatic multicast technique enabling one thread (for example, in a cooperative group array (CGA) on a GPU) to request data on behalf of one or more other threads (for example, executing on respective processor cores of the GPU). The multicast is supported by tracking circuitry that interfaces between multicast requests received from processor cores and the available memory. The multicast is designed to reduce cache (for example, layer 2 cache) bandwidth utilization enabling strong scaling and smaller tile sizes.

Abstract: In an approach for amplifying a mission critical workload to a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite using a booster drone, responsive to receiving a first request to amplify a mission critical workload to a LEO satellite, a processor initiates a targeted service instance.

Abstract: Dynamic Open Radio Access Network Radio Unit (O-RU) sharing between multiple tenant Open RAN Distributed Units (O-DU) may be provided. A Near Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (nRT-RIC) may receive tenant policies for a first tenant and a second tenant.

Finally, the nRT-RIC may send the altered allocation of resources to the first tenant DU and the second tenant DU.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for communications across privilege domains within a central processing unit (“CPU”) core. The CPU core can store a kernel context associated with an operating system within the CPU. An application can request access to the CPU, and the CPU can load a user context associated with the application into the CPU. The CPU can execute instructions from the application while both the kernel context and the user context persist in the CPU. Because both contexts are stored on the CPU, the CPU can switch contexts without loading or unloading context data from memory.
