Abstract: Quality-of-Service (QoS) is an important system-level requirement in the design and implementation of on-chip networks. QoS requirements can be implemented in an on-chip-interconnect by providing for at least two signals indicating priority at a transaction-level interface where one signal transfers information in-band with the transaction and the other signal transfers information out-of-band with the transaction. The signals can be processed by the on-chip-interconnect to deliver the required QoS. In addition, the disclosed embodiments can be extended to a Network-on-Chip (NoC).

Abstract: A pseudo holographic visual effect is produced by acquiring at least two actual images of a subject wherein each image represents a different viewing angle of the single subject. Intermediary images corresponding to other viewing angles of the subject may be extrapolated from the two actual images or two adjacent images if a sufficient number of actual images are not available to create the desired level of resolution. To create the effect, an initial start image is displayed. Computer based sensors or camera images from a camera are then used to determine any movement of the device or user from the initial position at which the initial image was displayed. Once movement is detected or once the position of the viewer is determined, the initial image is replaced with an image that corresponds to the change in the detected viewing angle or with an image that corresponds to the viewing angle of the viewer.

Abstract: Software fault isolation methods using byte-granularity memory protection are described. In an embodiment, untrusted drivers or other extensions to a software system are run in a separate domain from the host portion of the software system, but share the same address space as the host portion. Calls between domains are mediated using an interposition library and access control data is maintained for substantially each byte of relevant virtual address space. Instrumentation added to the untrusted extension at compile-time, before load-time, or at runtime and added by the interposition library enforces the isolation between domains, for example by adding access right checks before any writes or indirect calls and by redirecting function calls to call wrappers in the interposition library. The instrumentation also updates the access control data to grant and revoke access rights on a fine granularity according to the semantics of the operation being invoked.
