  • Patent number: 12217058
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a multi-layer cache to prevent user experience interrupts during feature flag management. A service provider may provide applications to computing devices of users including mobile applications. Use and availability of features in an application may be configured using feature flags, however, change of these feature flags may initiate an application refresh that affects user experiences with the application. To prevent interruptions, a multi-layer data cache may be used where feature flag data for the feature flags may initially be loaded, after a time period, to a first layer cache that is not used to update the application. When conditions exist for updating the application without affecting the user experience, such as if the user is no longer using a workflow, the feature flag data may be loaded to a second layer cache. The second layer cache may then be used for updating.

  • Patent number: 12219747
    Abstract: SRAM designs based on GAA transistors are disclosed that provide flexibility for increasing channel widths of transistors at scaled IC technology nodes and relax limits on SRAM performance optimization imposed by FinFET-based SRAMs. GAA-based SRAM cells described have active region layouts with active regions shared by pull-down GAA transistors and pass-gate GAA transistors. A width of shared active regions that correspond with the pull-down GAA transistors are enlarged with respect to widths of the shared active regions that correspond with the pass-gate GAA transistors. A ratio of the widths is tuned to obtain ratios of pull-down transistor effective channel width to pass-gate effective channel width greater than 1, increase an on-current of pull-down GAA transistors relative to an on-current of pass-gate GAA transistors, decrease a threshold voltage of pull-down GAA transistors relative to a threshold voltage of pass-gate GAA transistors, and/or increases a ? ratio of an SRAM cell.
