  • Patent number: 11537298
    Abstract: Examples of systems and method described herein provide for accessing memory devices and, concurrently, generating access codes using an authenticated stream cipher at a memory controller. For example, a memory controller may use a memory access request to, concurrently, perform translation logic and/or error correction on data associated with the memory access request; while also utilizing the memory address as an initialization vector for an authenticated stream cipher to generate an access code. The error correction may be performed subsequent to address translation for a write operation (or prior to address translation for a read operation) to improve processing speed of memory access requests at a memory controller; while the memory controller also generates the encrypted access code.

  • Publication number: 20220398190
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for tensor memory access are described. Multiple data located in different physical addresses of memory may be concurrently read or written by, for example, employing various processing patterns of tensor or matrix related computations. A memory controller, which may comprise a data address generator, may be configured to generate a sequence of memory addresses for a memory access operation based on a starting address and a dimension of a tensor or matrix. At least one dimension of a tensor or matrix may correspond to a row, a column, a diagonal, a determinant, or an Nth dimension of the tensor or matrix. The memory controller may also comprise a buffer configured to read and write the data generated from or according to a sequence of memory of addresses.

  • Patent number: 11528043
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for non-linear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a coefficient calculator. The coefficient calculator may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to a coefficient calculator. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Publication number: 20220222384
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods described herein provide for erasing an encrypted key used for data access to a non-volatile memory device. A memory controller may generate an encrypted key for data access to non-volatile memory devices; and, to provide security of data stored on the non-volatile memory devices, the memory controller may store the encrypted key in a local cache of the memory controller. The encrypted key may be erased responsive to losing power or powering down of memory controller. Advantageously, the data stored at the non-volatile memory device may not be accessed when the memory controller (or a computing device implementing the memory controller) loses power. Accordingly, if a malicious actor were to physically remove (or steal) a computing device implementing the memory controller (e.g., a laptop computer), in an attempt to acquire the data, the data stored on the non-volatile memory devices could not be accessed.
