Publication number: 20240054231Abstract: To decrease development revision cycle time and reduce deployment and execution errors when porting software from a public cloud to a specialized cloud, the software is analyzed for certain characteristics. Analysis may check for non-permitted items, required items, fragile code, morph code, or deny list expressions, for example. The particular items, codes, expressions, or other characteristics targeted by analysis derive from gapping constraints that distinguish the specialized cloud from public clouds, such as an air-gap constraint, a geolocation constraint, or a government security constraint. Software cloud compatibility analyses may be added, removed, or updated using a modular framework architecture, using declarative analysis module declarations, or both. False positive analysis results may be filtered out. Analysis results may include suggestions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: James Michael LIMONES, Garrett Christopher HALEY, Steven Alexander MARTINEZ, Keith Robert Joseph HITCHCOCK, Alexis Kristen Phuong Diem VU, Trevor DANIELSON, Cristian NITULESCU

Patent number: 11899964Abstract: Resources of an electronic device are partitioned into a plurality of resource portions to be utilized by a plurality of clients. Each resource portion is assigned to a respective client, has a respective partition identifier (ID), and corresponds to a plurality memory bandwidth usage states tracked for a plurality of memory blocks. For each resource portion, each of the memory bandwidth usage states is associated with a respective memory block and indicates at least how much of a memory access bandwidth assigned to the respective partition ID to access the respective memory block is used. A usage level is determined for each resource partition based on the memory bandwidth usage states, and applied to adjust a credit count. When the credit count is adjusted beyond a request issue threshold, a next data access request is issued from a memory access request queue for the respective partition ID.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ramkumar Srinivasan, Amit Kumar, Vedaraman Geetha, Keith Robert Pflederer, Vikas Kumar Sinha

Patent number: 11741028Abstract: Innovative techniques to efficient stripe ordered writes across multiple socket-to-socket links. The ordered writes may be PCIe ordered writes. Each socket-to-socket write (or remote write) for an address may be converted into two transactions. The first transaction may ensure that coherency for the address is ensured. The second transaction may be the actual request transaction to write the data of the address. In so doing, when multiple remote writes are involved, the remote writes may be distributed over multiple socket-to-socket links to maximize bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vedaraman Geetha, Keith Robert Pflederer
