Abstract: An apparatus and method for tracking speculative execution flow and detecting potential vulnerabilities.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that includes a performance-enhanced decompression pipeline having first decoder hardware to convert variable length weights to fixed length keys, wherein the variable length weights are non-uniform quantization values, and second decoder hardware to convert the fixed length keys to bit value. In one example, the first length keys are compressed representations of the variable length weights and the bit values are bit accurate representations of the fixed length keys.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for tracking speculative execution flow and detecting potential vulnerabilities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to obtain minimum cycle latency and maximum required time at a driver for an assignment of clocked and non-clocked repeaters in a topology comprising, determining whether a node in the topology is a leaf, and assigning covers if the node is a leaf. Determining whether the node in the topology comprises one branch or two branches. Assigning covers to each node and eliminating inferior covers. Merging covers, and deleting inferior covers taking into account a difference in interconnect latency associated with the covers. The above method may be modified with a heuristic to insert repeaters in a topology for a given latency at each driver-receiver pair.

Determining whether the node in the topology comprises one branch or two branches. Assigning covers to each node and eliminating inferior covers. (NOTE TO CLIVE: I removed the swap thing since the swap can be thought of as part of the merge operation . . . ). Merging covers, and deleting inferior covers taking into account a difference in interconnect latency associated with the covers. The above method may be modified with a heuristic to insert repeaters in a topology for a given latency at each driver-receiver pair.
