Abstract: Introduced here is a surveillance system that is able to employ an approach to sharing security information, such that organizations have the ability to voluntarily share relevant security information with the individuals who frequent the corresponding buildings. The surveillance system introduced here may not only be able to protect the safety of organizations, but also the privacy of users. In order for a member of the public to truly feel safe—not only from material loss or bodily harm—it is crucial for her to know what information is being recorded, stored, and used.

Abstract: Provided herein are metal interconnects that may include a cobalt alloy, a nickel alloy, or nickel. Also provided herein are methods of making metal interconnects. The metal interconnects may include a barrier and/or adhesion layer, a seed layer, a fill material, a cap, or a combination thereof, and at least one of the barrier and/or adhesion layer, the seed layer, the fill material, or the cap may include a cobalt alloy, a nickel alloy, nickel, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically capturing network data for a detected anomaly. In some examples, a network node establishes a baseline usage by applying at least one baselining rule to network traffic to generate baseline statistics, detects an anomaly usage by applying at least one anomaly rule to network traffic and generating an anomaly event, and captures network data according to an anomaly event by triggering at least one capturing rule to be applied to network traffic when an associated anomaly event is generated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for verifying memory coherency of a simulated computer system. A verification logic unit is used for detecting the issuance of load and store instructions from the simulated system. Targets (registers or memory locations) representing the detected instructions are then stored in queues, and marked (colored) as not having been executed. After a detected instruction has been executed and completed, the corresponding target in the queue is marked as being completed. During every clock cycle of the apparatus, the verification logic unit monitors the queues for entries (Targets) marked as completed, which are then discarded.

Abstract: An improved method and system for creating state machines in microcode. State machines are typically defined by a plurality having at least a combinations of current state, next state. Each one of the current states and next states are typically assigned unique values to distinguish them from other current states and next states, respectively. Upon an examination of the binary bit representations for the combinations, certain repetitive patterns become apparent between certain sections of the combinations. These recognized repetitive bit patterns are grouped and represented by linked lists and associated with one another to form the necessary relationship to define the represented combinations. Thus, saving memory and/or storage resources.

Abstract: An efficient method and system within a data processing system for storing address tags are disclosed, which include a tag directory having a plurality of congruence classes, wherein each congruence class is arranged as a tree-like data structure. A portion of an address tag common to a plurality of address tags is stored in an entry within a node at a first level of a tree-like data structure corresponding to a congruence class of the directory. Portions of the plurality of address tags are stored in a node at a subsequent level of the tree-like data structure, such that all of the plurality of address tags share in common the portion stored in the entry within the node at the first level. Since a portion common to a plurality of address tags is stored only once, the memory space required to store the plurality of address tags is reduced.
