Abstract: A source enclave of a source application includes: at least one process thread; a respective at least one process stack memory; a heap memory; and a thread context area. An interrupt is sent to the source enclave which causes the process thread to exit. A migrator thread is sent to the source enclave to save to an external memory, using a migrator stack memory, the thread context area, the at least one process stack memory, and the heap memory, but not the migrator stack memory. A destination enclave is instantiated at a destination application. An initiator thread is sent to the destination enclave to clone, using an initiator stack memory, the state of the source enclave from the external memory.

Abstract: A system uses a machine learning model trained using multitask learning for processing audio signals of different types. The system may be used in a device such as a headset, smart glasses, or a smart watch, and may be used to make predictions based on different types of audio signals, for example, for classifying acoustic events based on audio signal or for keyword spotting to detect wake words. The use of a single machine learning model for analyzing different types of audio signals improves storage efficiency as well as energy efficiency of devices compared to systems that use a different machine learning model for processing each type of audio signal.
