Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with the present disclosure can prevent interference of memory operations being performed, for example, by partitioning memory access to safety related applications and non-safety related applications. In various examples, one or more circuits can assign, to a workload for execution on a system-on-a-chip (SoC) and according to a criticality of the workload, at least one threshold for bandwidth of a resource of the SoC. The one or more circuits can control execution of the workload according to the at least one threshold.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein involves tracking contention and using the tracked contention to manage processor cache. The technology can be implemented in a processor's cache controlling logic and can enable the processor to track which locations in main memory are contentious. The technology can use the contentiousness of locations to determine where to store the data in cache and how to allocate and evict cache lines in the cache. In one example, the technology can store the data in a shared cache when the location is contentious and can bypass the shared cache and store the data in the private cache when the location is uncontentious. This may be advantageous because storing the data in shared cache can reduce or avoid having multiple copies in different private caches and can reduce the cache coherency overhead involved to keep copies in the private caches in sync.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein involves tracking contention and using the tracked contention to reduce latency of exclusive memory operations. The technology enables a processor to track which locations in main memory are contentious and to modify the order exclusive memory operations are processed based on the contentiousness. A thread can include multiple exclusive operations for the same memory location (e.g., exclusive load and a complementary exclusive store). The multiple exclusive memory operations can be added to a queue and include one or more intervening operations between them in the queue. The processor may process the operations in the queue based on the order they were added and may use the tracked contention to perform out-of-order processing for some of the exclusive operations. For example, the processor can execute the exclusive load operation and because the corresponding location is contentious can process the complementary exclusive store operation before the intervening operations.

Abstract: A capsule for encapsulating a tablet, includes two capsule portions of equal sizes and dimensions, each containing a moisture content of 12 to 16% and having a plurality of ridges projecting inwardly from the inner circumference of the respective capsule portions and extending along the inner circumference of the respective capsule portions in radially spaced apart relationship with one another and defining fluid flow passages between the ridges. The outline defined by the tips of the ridges correspond to the outer surface of the tablet to provide an interference fit between the ridges and the tablet when the capsule portions are push fitted over the tablet from the ends of the tablet in an abutting but not overlapping relationship with each other at ambient conditions.
