Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to shielding data in transit and in memory. A method and system for shielding data in transit and in memory may include using a transformation knowledge key (TKK). For shielding data in transit, the TKK is configured to include a splitting algorithm component that is configured to split a message into N segments of shielded data and route the N segments via M communications paths, where M and N are integers greater than 1. For shielding data in memory, the memory is segmented into M memory blocks. The splitting algorithm component of the TKK is configured to split data into N segments of shielded data and store the N segments of shielded data in the M memory blocks. The TKK is reused to unshield and reconstruct the original message or the data from the N segments of shielded data.

Abstract: A pipeline system and method includes a plurality of operational stages. The stages include a pointer register stage which stores pointer information and updates, and a rename and dependence checking stage located downstream of the pointer register stage, which renames registers and determines if dependencies exist. A functional unit provides pointer information updates to the pointer register stage such that pointer information is processed and updated to the pointer register stage before or in parallel with the register dependency checking.
