Abstract: Techniques for operating on an indirect memory access instruction, where the instruction accesses a memory location via at least one indirect address. A pipeline processes the instruction and a memory operation engine generates a first access to the at least one indirect address and a second access to a target address determined by the at least one indirect address. A cache memory used with the pipeline and the memory operation engine caches pointers. In response to a cache hit when executing the indirect memory access instruction, operations dereference a pointer to obtain the at least one indirect address, not set a cache bit, and return data for the instruction without storing the data in the cache memory; and in response to a cache miss, operations set the cache bit, obtain, and store a cache line for a missed pointer, and return data without storing the data in the cache memory.

Abstract: A control system (400) for an active inceptor (103) for a fly by wire aircraft permits a zero force null point to settle to a non-zero displacement trim position. An internal position state of a second order mass spring damper model is moved in conjunction with force-displacement characteristic coordinates. This results in no second order dynamics being superimposed on the feel of the inceptor (103) when dynamically adjusting the trim position, thereby eliminating the possibility of any unpleasant buzzing been felt by the operator of the inceptor during a trimming operation.

Abstract: A graph processing core includes a plurality of processing pipelines and an interrupt controller unit. Each processing pipeline executes one or more threads and includes, for each thread, a register indicating a currently executing program counter vector and another register indicating an interrupt or exception handler vector. The interrupt controller unit may receive interrupt or exception notifications from the processing pipelines, determine a handler vector based on the notification and a set of registers of the interrupt controller unit, and transmit the handler vector to the processing pipeline that issued the interrupt or exception notification. Further, the issuing pipeline may receive the handler vector from the interrupt controller unit, write a value in the first register into the second register, write the handler vector into the first register, and invoke an interrupt or exception hander based on the value written into the first register.

Abstract: Memory requests are protected by encoding memory requests to include error correction codes. A subset of bits in a memory request are compared to a pre-defined pattern to determine whether the subset of bits matches a pre-defined pattern, where a match indicates that a compression can be applied to the memory request. The error correction code is generated for the memory request and the memory request is encoded to remove the subset of bits, add the error correction code, and add at least one metadata bit to the memory request to generate a protected version of the memory request, where the at least one metadata bit identifies whether the compression was applied to the memory request.
