Abstract: Methods and apparatus for extracting a setting of configuration bits to create an exclusion configuration for providing protection against peek and poke attacks in a multi-tenant usage model of a configurable device is provided. The device may host multiple parties that do not trust each other. Peek and poke attacks are orchestrated by tapping (peeking) and driving (poking) wires associated with other parties. Such attacks may be disabled by excluding the settings of configuration bits that would allow these attacks by other parties. This set of configuration bits that should be excluded for preventing all peek and poke attacks creates the exclusion configuration. Methods are described that disable a particular class of peek and/or poke attacks through the use of partial reconfiguration. Methods and apparatus are described to dynamically detect peek and/or poke attacks.

Abstract: A circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a first group of circuits configured to perform a first set of operations. The circuit system also includes a second integrated circuit die having a second group of circuits configured to start performing a second set of operations with a delay after the first group of circuits starts performing the first set of operations to reduce power supply voltage droop. The operations performed by the first and second groups of circuits can be interleaved with a fixed or a variable delay. Logic circuits can be partitioned into the first and the second groups of circuits based on predicted switching activity of the logic circuits. Decoupling capacitors in integrated circuit dies can be coupled together to reduce droop in a supply voltage during a high current event.

Multiple voltage regulator circuits generate multiple supply voltages based on the voltage identifiers. The supply voltages are provided to multiple integrated circuit dies. The power control circuit varies the voltage identifiers based on changes in metrics associated with the integrated circuit dies to cause the voltage regulator circuits to vary the supply voltages. Integrated circuit dies receive supply voltages from voltage regulator circuits through power delivery networks. The integrated circuit dies provide voltage sense signals that indicates the supply voltages. The voltage regulator circuits adjust the supply voltages based on the voltage sense signals to compensate for voltage drops in the power delivery networks.

Abstract: A VIN verification system allow an accurate detection of incorrectly entered VIN in an electronic file followed by correction of the incorrectly entered VIN. A server of the VIN verification system verify characters and letters of the VIN in the electronic file to detect data entry and/or transmission errors. The server upon determining that the characters and entered in the VIN are incorrect will then replace the characters and letters with alternate or substitute characters and letters and generate a new VIN in the electronic file. The server will reexamine the new VIN to validate the new VIN, and then transmit the electronic file to another web application for further processing.
