  • Publication number: 20230185719
    Abstract: In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core generating memory transactions, a lower level cache memory with a lower memory controller, and a higher level cache memory with a higher memory controller having a memory pipeline. The higher memory controller is connected to the lower memory controller by a bypass path that skips the memory pipeline. The higher memory controller: determines whether a memory transaction is a bypass write, which is a memory write request indicated not to result in a corresponding write being directed to the higher level cache memory; if the memory transaction is determined a bypass write, determines whether a memory transaction that prevents passing is in the memory pipeline; and if no transaction that prevents passing is determined to be in the memory pipeline, sends the memory transaction to the lower memory controller using the bypass path.

  • Publication number: 20230176975
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a CPU core, a first memory cache with a first line size, and a second memory cache having a second line size larger than the first line size. Each line of the second memory cache includes an upper half and a lower half. A memory controller subsystem is coupled to the CPU core and to the first and second memory caches. Upon a miss in the first memory cache for a first target address, the memory controller subsystem determines that the first target address resulting in the miss maps to the lower half of a line in the second memory cache, retrieves the entire line from the second memory cache, and returns the entire line from the second memory cache to the first memory cache.

  • Publication number: 20230141368
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of evaluating soft tissue tension surrounding a hip of a patient using navigation and software to track positions of the femur and a pelvis of the patient in real time. The method begins with intra-operative reduction of a femoral implant into an acetabulum of a patient and retrieval of first coordinates of a femoral head center of the femoral implant when the femoral implant is in a reduced position. Performance of a shuck test follows where the femur is distracted relative to the acetabulum. Retrieval of second coordinates of the femoral head center occurs when the femoral implant is distracted from the acetabulum, and a difference between the first coordinates and the second coordinates in a coronal plane is used to determine a shuck length vector.

  • Patent number: 11620236
    Abstract: A system comprises a processor including a CPU core, first and second memory caches, and a memory controller subsystem. The memory controller subsystem speculatively determines a hit or miss condition of a virtual address in the first memory cache and speculatively translates the virtual address to a physical address. Associated with the hit or miss condition and the physical address, the memory controller subsystem configures a status to a valid state. Responsive to receipt of a first indication from the CPU core that no program instructions associated with the virtual address are needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status to an invalid state and, responsive to receipt of a second indication from the CPU core that a program instruction associated with the virtual address is needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status back to a valid state.

  • Patent number: 11609818
    Abstract: In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core that generates memory write requests, a cache memory, and a memory pipeline of the cache memory. The memory pipeline has a holding buffer, an anchor stage, and an RMW pipeline. The anchor stage determines whether a data payload of a write request corresponds to a partial write. If so, the data payload is written to the holding buffer and conforming data is read from a corresponding cache memory address to merge with the data payload. The RMW pipeline has a merge stage and a syndrome generation stage. The merge stage merges the data payload in the holding buffer with the conforming data to make merged data. The syndrome generation stage generates an ECC syndrome using the merged data. The memory pipeline writes the data payload and ECC syndrome to the cache memory.

  • Patent number: 11601430
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a system and method of verifying an identity of user. A computing system receives a HTTP request. The HTTP request includes at least a user name and an IP address associated with a router accessed by the remote client device. The computing system parses the HTTP request to extract the user name and the IP address contained therein. The computing system identifies a user account associated with the extracted user name. The computing system identifies an internet service provider associated with the IP address. The computing system transmits a verification message to the third party service provider. The computing system receives a confirmation message from the third party service provider. The computing system increases a level of confidence in an identification verification process based on the confirmation.

  • Publication number: 20230058689
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a CPU core, a first cache subsystem coupled to the CPU core, and a second memory coupled to the cache subsystem. The first cache subsystem includes a configuration register, a first memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive a request directed to an address in the second memory and, in response to the configuration register having a first value, operate in a non-caching mode. In the non-caching mode, the controller is configured to provide the request to the second memory without caching data returned by the request in the first memory. In response to the configuration register having a second value, the controller is configured to operate in a caching mode. In the caching mode the controller is configured to provide the request to the second memory and cache data returned by the request in the first memory.
