Abstract: A computer system, processor, and method for processing information is disclosed that includes watching logical operations to detect unauthorized attempts to access a register, and taking evasive action in response to detecting unauthorized attempts to access the register. In an embodiment, the register is a hidden, secret, restricted, or undocumented register, and the method further includes, in response to unauthorized attempts to access the secret register, locking the contents of the secret register. The evasive action may include one or more of interrupting the operations of the processor; causing the processor to shut-down, malfunction, lock, self-destruct; no longer providing read or write permission or access to the register; releasing data disguised to look like the real register data while not releasing the real data; and combinations thereof.

Abstract: The present invention includes a composition comprising an enriched mixture of ?-sulfofatty acid esters. Increasing the concentration of specific chain length ?-sulfofatty acid esters, relative to the proportions of the other chain lengths, allows the detergent compositions to exhibit an improved cleaning performance while simultaneously cleaning a wide variety of materials.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a first method of reducing command processing latency while maintaining memory coherence is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) providing a memory map including memory addresses available to a system; and (2) arranging the memory addresses into a plurality of groups. At least one of the groups does not require the system, in response to a command that requires access to a memory address in the group from a bus unit, to get permission from all remaining bus units included in the system to maintain memory coherence. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method utilize a clustering algorithm based upon trading propensity to generate assignments of circuit elements to clusters or groups to optimize a spatial distribution of the plurality of clusters. For example, trading propensity-based clustering may be used to assign circuit elements such as scan-enabled latches to individual scan chains to optimize the layout of the scan chains in a scan architecture for an integrated circuit design.

Abstract: A fair hierarchical arbiter comprises a number of arbitration mechanisms, each arbitration mechanism forwarding winning requests from requestors in round robin order by requestor. In addition to the winning requests, each arbitration mechanism forwards valid request bits, the valid request bits providing information about which requestor originated a current winning request, and, in some embodiments, about how many separate requesters are arbitrated by that particular arbitration mechanism. The fair hierarchical arbiter outputs requests from the total set of separate requestors in a round robin order.
