Abstract: A memory controller circuit receives memory access requests from a network of a computer system. Entries are reserved for these requests in a retry queue circuit. An arbitration circuit of the memory controller circuit issues those requests to a tag pipeline circuit that determines whether the received memory access requests hit in a memory cache. As a memory access request passes through the tag pipeline circuit, it may require another pass through this pipeline—for example, if resources such as certain storage circuits needed to complete the memory access request are unavailable (for example a snoop queue circuit). The reservation that has been made in the retry queue circuit thus keeps the request from having to be returned to the network for resubmission to the memory controller circuit if initial processing of the memory access request cannot be completed.

The drive circuit includes a voltage boost stage that receives a DC input supply voltage and delivers an increased DC output voltage to a high voltage, HV, link point; a plurality of inverter stages coupled in parallel at the HV link point that receive DC voltage from the HV link point and generate an oscillating output voltage for driving a respective piezo-actuated pump; and a control system that controls the output voltage and phase of the inverter stages to drive the plurality of piezo-actuated pumps out of phase. The control system measures the power consumption of each piezo-actuated pump and regulates the output voltage of at least one of the inverter stages to balance the power consumption of each piezo-actuated pump.

A method may include performing a plurality of simulated injections by executing geomechanical and fluid flow simulations on a subsurface model representing a geological storage complex, where model parameters are varied for one or more simulated injections. The method may include determining, for the one or more simulated injections, one or more leakage volumes for one or more surface locations in the geological storage complex, and calculating, for the one or more surface locations, one or more of: a leakage probability value indicating a simulated probability of leakage occurring at the surface location, or a leakage severity value indicating a simulated average amount of leakage volume at the surface location. The method may include determining leakage risk based on one or more of the leakage probability value or the leakage severity value.

Abstract: A memory controller circuit manages access to a memory cache circuit and storage circuits. The memory controller receives a memory access request, and attempts to reserve entries in a first set of storage circuits that are needed to process a cache hit prior to determining whether the memory access request hits in the memory cache circuit. This reservation attempt is performed without attempting to reserve other sets of storage circuits that are needed to process other possible outcomes of the memory access request, including a cache miss. If the memory controller circuit has successfully reserved entries in all of the first set of storage circuits, processing of the memory access request may be initiated. Conversely, if the memory controller is unable to reserve an entry in at least one of the first set of storage circuits, processing of the memory access request is inhibited.

Abstract: A system implements a cloud-based digital platform allows developers to build new applications/services and then deploy to cloud platforms among continuous deployment, A/B test, blue/green deployment, and canary deployment. The system configures a service mesh on top of a cluster of computers. The system initializes a new service via templates that include common libraries, security scan pipeline, monitoring as code pipeline, and code coverage management for internal policy compliances, as well automated cloud resources request and provisioning. One or more proxy services, that extract data from the data sources using filters, can be executed. The system may use machine learning based models that are trained using the data extracted by the proxy service. The system allows automatic provisioning, computation orchestration, storage requests, and artificial intelligence insight feedback, as well as automated self-services to navigate complex systems and reduce on-boarding times of the platform.

Abstract: When a parked automotive vehicle is located at a hazard location, both a Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) modem of the parked automotive vehicle and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) engine of the parked automotive vehicle are left on to increase safety, relative to turning the C-V2X modem off, by having the C-V2X modem continue to send C-V2X messages. When the parked automotive vehicle is not located at a hazard location and is located at a known long-parking location, turning off both the GNSS engine and the C-V2X modem to reduce battery-power consumption relative to leaving both the GNSS engine and the C-V2X modem on.
