Abstract: A security framework for a multi-tenant, multi-tier computer system with embedded processing is described. A multi-tenant security framework is created for a combined processing and storage hierarchy of multiple tiers. The multi-tenant security framework is applied to multiple execution levels of the memory device. The multi-tenant security framework is applied to multiple layers of application server software of the memory device. The multi-tenant security framework is also applied to multiple layers of storage server software of the memory device.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a method of tracking data in a non-volatile memory device (NVM) device. A meta-data block from the NVM device is obtained, where the meta-data block includes meta-data. The meta-data block from the NVM device is used to track an associated data object, meta-data in the data block, a user data block, a meta-data block, or an additional data block. The meta-data block from the NVM device is used to point to the associated data object, the meta-data in the data block, the user data block, the meta-data block, or the additional data block. The meta-data block from the NVM device is further used to link the associated data object, the meta-data in the data block, the user data block, the meta-data block, or the additional data block.

Abstract: A unifying memory controller (UMC) to send and receive data to and from a local host. The UMC also may manage data placement and retrieval by using an address mapper. The UMC may also selectively provide power to a plurality of memory locations. The UMC may also manage data placement based on a policy that can make use of a property stored in the metadata storage location. The property may be a property describing the data that is being managed. The UMC also may use its own local cache that may store copies of data managed by the circuit.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided. In an example, the integrated circuit includes a first address line, a selector device electrically coupled to the first address lines, and a memory device electrically coupled between the selector device and a second address line. The selector device has a first I-V response in a first current direction and a second I-V response in a second current direction that is different from the first I-V response.

Abstract: A system including a driver circuit. The driver circuit is configured to provide first output signals in a first mode for electrical signaling and second output signals in a second mode for optical signaling. The driver circuit is configured to provide the first output signals in the first mode with at least one of a lower frequency and higher power and the second output signals in the second mode with at least one of a higher frequency and lower power.

Abstract: In one example, a composite processor includes a circuit board, a first processor element package, and a second processor element package. The circuit board has an optical link and an electrical link. The first processor element package includes a substrate with an integrated circuit, a sub-wavelength grating optical coupler, and an electrical coupler coupled to the electrical link of the circuit board. The second processor element package includes a substrate with an integrated circuit, a sub-wavelength grating optical coupler, and an electrical coupler coupled to the electrical link of the circuit board. The sub-wavelength grating optical coupler of the first processor element package, the optical link of the circuit board, and the sub-wavelength grating optical coupler of the second processor element package collectively define an optical communications path between the substrate of the first processor element package and the substrate of the second processor element package.

Abstract: Extruder tooling for directing plastic materials to enclose a conductor (26) being advanced along a path of travel through a core tube (97) and aligned dies includes disc-like flow passages (107, 129) which are disposed concentrically about and perpendicularly to the conductor. This arrangement minimizes conductor tension in a pressure extrusion arrangement by significantly reducing the length of the plastic-to-conductor contact within the extruder. The length and width of each flow passage normal to and along a path of travel are sufficient to provide a uniform distribution of plastic material circumferentially about the conductor and to dissipate stresses which have been induced in the plastic materials. In a tubing arrangement, the length of a cantilevered portion of the core tube is reduced significantly which results in improved concentricity of the plastic material about the conductor.
