Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for arbitrating threads in a computing system are disclosed. A computing system includes a processor with multiple cores, each capable of simultaneously processing instructions of multiple threads. When a thread throttling unit receives an indication that a shared cache has resource contention, the throttling unit sets a threshold number of cache misses for the cache. If the number of cache misses exceeds this threshold, then the throttling unit notifies a particular upstream computation unit to throttle the processing of instructions for the thread. After a time period elapses, if the cache continues to exceed the threshold, then the throttling unit notifies the upstream computation unit to more restrictively throttle the thread by performing one or more of reducing the selection rate and increasing the time period. Otherwise, the unit notifies the upstream computation unit to less restrictively throttle the thread.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide for an inspiratory limb for a breathing circuit that includes a first segment that comprises a first heater wire circuit and a second segment that comprises a second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can include an intermediate connector that includes a connection circuit that electrically couples the first heater wire circuit to the second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can be configured to operate in two modes wherein, in a first mode, electrical power passes through the first electrical connection to provide power to the first heater wire circuit without providing power to the second heater wire circuit, and in a second mode, electrical power pass through the first electrical connection to provide power to both the first heater wire circuit and the second heater wire circuit.

Abstract: An enforcement module operating on a server or on a network midpoint device obtains a management instruction controlling communications of a target workload. The enforcement module configures a firewall of a network midpoint device upstream from the target workload to enforce the management instruction. The configuration mechanism may be dependent on the particular capabilities and characteristics of the network midpoint device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for employing system probe filter aware last level cache insertion bypassing policies are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of processing nodes, a probe filter, and a shared cache. The probe filter monitors a rate of recall probes that are generated, and if the rate is greater than a first threshold, then the system initiates a cache partitioning and monitoring phase for the shared cache. Accordingly, the cache is partitioned into two portions. If the hit rate of a first portion is greater than a second threshold, then a second portion will have a non-bypass insertion policy since the cache is relatively useful in this scenario. However, if the hit rate of the first portion is less than or equal to the second threshold, then the second portion will have a bypass insertion policy since the cache is less useful in this case.

Abstract: A cache stores, along with data that is being transferred from a higher level cache to a lower level cache, information indicating the higher level cache location from which the data was transferred. Upon receiving a request for data that is stored at the location in the higher level cache, a cache controller stores the higher level cache location information in a status tag of the data. The cache controller then transfers the data with the status tag indicating the higher level cache location to a lower level cache. When the data is subsequently updated or evicted from the lower level cache, the cache controller reads the status tag location information and transfers the data back to the location in the higher level cache from which it was originally transferred.

Abstract: A segmentation server updates enforcement of a segmentation policy based on detection of core services. The segmentation server obtains characteristics of workloads and identifies workloads that provide core services using port matching, supervised learning based classification, semi supervised learning based classification, or a combination thereof. The segmentations server applies labels to workloads identified as core service providers indicative of the detection. Rules of the segmentation are distributed to enforcement modules based on the label sets of associated workloads to enable the enforcement modules to enforce the segmentation policy. Detection of core services reduces the likelihood of administrator inadvertently enforcing a policy that blocks essential core services.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for dynamically adjusting cache policies to reduce execution core wait time are disclosed. A processor includes a cache subsystem. The cache subsystem includes one or more cache levels and one or more cache controllers. A cache controller partitions a cache level into two test portions and a remainder portion. The cache controller applies a first policy to the first test portion and applies a second policy to the second test portion. The cache controller determines the amount of time the execution core spends waiting on accesses to the first and second test portions. If the measured wait time is less for the first test portion than for the second test portion, then the cache controller applies the first policy to the remainder portion. Otherwise, the cache controller applies the second policy to the remainder portion.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating a measurement of write memory bandwidth are disclosed. A control unit monitors writes to a cache hierarchy. If a write to a cache line is a first time that the cache line is being modified since entering the cache hierarchy, then the control unit increments a write memory bandwidth counter. Otherwise, if the write is to a cache line that has already been modified since entering the cache hierarchy, then the write memory bandwidth counter is not incremented. The first write to a cache line is a proxy for write memory bandwidth since this will eventually cause a write to memory. The control unit uses the value of the write memory bandwidth counter to generate a measurement of the write memory bandwidth. Also, the control unit can maintain multiple counters for different thread classes to calculate the write memory bandwidth per thread class.

Abstract: An automated workflow receives a patient study comprising cardiac biomarker measurements and a plurality of echocardiographic images taken by an ultrasound device of a patient heart. A filter separates the plurality of echocardiogram images by 2D images and Doppler modality images based on analyzing image metadata. The 2D images are classified by view type, and the Doppler modality images are classified by view type. The cardiac chambers are segmented in the 2D images, and the Doppler modality images are segmented to generate waveform traces, producing segmented 2D images and segmented Doppler modality images. Using both the sets of images, measurements of cardiac features for both left and right sides of the heart are calculated. The cardiac biomarker measurements and the calculated measurements are compared with international cardiac guidelines to generate conclusions, and a report is output showing the measurements that fall within or outside of the guidelines.

Abstract: A processing system indicates the pendency of a memory access request for data at the cache entry that is assigned to store the data in response to the memory access request. While executing instructions, the processor issues requests for data to the cache most proximal to the processor. In response to a cache miss, the cache controller identifies an entry of the cache to store the data in response to the memory access request, and stores an indication that the memory access request is pending at the identified cache entry. If the cache controller receives a subsequent memory access request for the data while the memory access request is pending at the higher level of the memory hierarchy, the cache controller identifies that the memory access request is pending based on the indicator stored at the entry.
