  • Patent number: 11042494
    Abstract: An interposer circuit is used between an interrupt controller and a processor core to facilitate direct injection of a virtual interrupt into a guest executing on the processor core, even though the interrupt controller does not support the direct injection. The interposer circuit can convert a command received from the interrupt controller for a physical interrupt into another command for a virtual interrupt to make the processor core believe that the processor core has received a virtual interrupt even though the interrupt controller is not able to provide the virtual interrupt. The virtual interrupt can be directly injected into the processor core without the intervention of a hypervisor executing on the processor core.

  • Publication number: 20210084128
    Abstract: A packet processing technique can include selecting a protocol field from the packet, and performing a comparison of the selected protocol field with comparison data in a compare logic array to output a protocol index. The protocol index can be used as an address to read parsing commands from a parse control table, and a parse result can be generated based on executing the parsing commands on the packet. The parse results are used to derive a parse result vector, which can be used by a forwarding engine to forward the packet.

  • Publication number: 20210005249
    Abstract: One example includes a memory cell system. The memory cell system includes a quantizing loop configured to conduct a quantizing current in a first direction corresponding to storage of a first state of a stored memory state of the memory cell system and to conduct the quantizing current in a second direction opposite the first direction corresponding to storage of a second state of the stored memory state of the memory cell system. The memory cell system also includes a bias element arranged in the quantizing loop and which is configured to provide a substantially constant flux bias of the quantizing loop in each of the first and second states of the stored memory state.

  • Patent number: 10839124
    Abstract: Interactive compilation of software to a hardware language may be performed to satisfy formal verification constraints. Source code for software to be executed on a hardware design may be received. Intermediate code may be generated from the source code as part of translating the source code to a hardware language used to specify the hardware design. The intermediate code may be provided via an interface and updates to the intermediate code may be received. The updated source code may then be used to complete translation of the source code to the hardware language.

  • Patent number: 10650884
    Abstract: Examples described in this disclosure relate to a memory cell with Josephson phase-based torque. In one example, a memory cell including a first inductor and a magnetic Josephson junction (MJJ) coupled to the first inductor to form a loop is provided. The MJJ may include a free magnetic layer formed above a non-magnetic layer, and a fixed magnetic layer below the non-magnetic layer. A first state of the memory cell corresponds to a first magnetization of the free magnetic layer that is parallel to a magnetization of the fixed magnetic layer and the second state of the memory cell corresponds to a second magnetization of the free magnetic layer that is anti-parallel to the magnetization of the fixed magnetic layer. The memory cell is configured to switch from the first state to the second state based on whether the MJJ is in a zero-state or a ?-state.
