Abstract: Hardware-agnostic accelerator orchestration (HALO) provides a software framework for heterogeneous computing systems. Hardware-agnostic programming with high performance portability is envisioned to be a bedrock for realizing adoption of emerging accelerator technologies in heterogeneous computing systems, such as high-performance computing (HPC) systems, data center computing systems, and edge computing systems. The adoption of emerging accelerators is key to achieving greater scale and performance in heterogeneous computing systems. Accordingly, embodiments described herein provide a flexible hardware-agnostic environment that allows application developers to develop high-performance applications without knowledge of the underlying hardware.

Abstract: A software-defined board support package (SW-BSP) for stand-alone reconfigurable accelerators is provided. The adoption of emerging accelerators is key to achieving greater scale and performance in heterogeneous computing systems. A stand-alone accelerator protocol (SAP) allows for a hardware accelerator to be plug-and-playable in a stand-alone fashion (without needing a local central processing unit (CPU) host) and interact with a remote computing system agent for application acceleration across any network infrastructure. The SAP further facilitates a hardware-agnostic accelerator orchestration (HALO) software framework for hardware-agnostic programming with high performance portability and scalability in heterogeneous computing systems. The SW-BSP provides an implementation of the SAP on reconfigurable accelerators.

Abstract: Embodiment for systems, method and computer program products for transacting a secure retail transaction (SRT). The system comprises a seller device to generate seller information associated with a financial transaction, a unique, one-time-only transaction identification and seller's financial institution data. A buyer device receives a transaction invoice having transaction invoice information and generates encrypted buyer data with the transaction invoice information. The system includes a transaction manager to generate a single transaction data packet comprising encrypted buyer data from the buyer device and the seller information transmitted and establishes a communication session from the buyer to transmit the encrypted transaction data packet to a buyer's financial institution. The buyer's institution sends the transaction packet information to the seller's institution for pairing with the unique, one-time-only encrypted invoice within allotted time established by the seller.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for storing and transmitting sensitive data is disclosed including storing source data on a secure data storage of a secondary device connected to a computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to operate via an operating system with a central processor, and wherein the secure data storage is adapted to receive input unilaterally from the computing device and store it as source data, and transferring the source data from the secure data storage to a communications interface component that connects the computing device to a computer network, wherein the transferring is implemented via the secondary device while bypassing the central processor. A system is also provided.
