  • Publication number: 20240046397
    Abstract: A system for detecting fraudulent activity using account analytics obtains an interaction record for an interaction between a remote device and a user account via an interaction channel, where the interaction is an attempt to access the user account, obtains historical data relating to the user account and the interaction channel that includes one or more historical interaction records relating to the user account and activity records relating to the interaction channel, calculates a threat score for the user account based on the interaction record and the one or more historical interaction records that indicates a likelihood that the user account is subject to fraudulent activity, generates a database record based on the interaction record that includes the threat score, and initiates corrective action if the threat score exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 6249862
    Abstract: A dependency table stores a reorder buffer tag for each register. The stored reorder buffer tag corresponds to the last of the instructions within the reorder buffer (in program order) to update the register. Otherwise, the dependency table indicates that the value stored in the register is valid. When operand fetch is performed for a set of concurrently decoded instructions, dependency checking is performed including checking for dependencies between the set of concurrently decoded instructions as well as accessing the dependency table to select the reorder buffer tag stored therein. Either the reorder buffer tag of one of the concurrently decoded instructions, the reorder buffer tag stored in the dependency table, the instruction result corresponding to the stored reorder buffer tag, or the value from the register itself is forwarded as the source operand for the instruction. Information from the comparators and the information stored in the dependency table is sufficient to select which value is forwarded.

The dependency table stores the width of the register being updated. Prior to forwarding the reorder buffer tag stored within the dependency table, the width stored therein is compared to the width of the source operand being requested.

  • Patent number: 6189089
    Abstract: A superscalar microprocessor includes a reorder buffer to correctly handle dependency checking and multiple updates to the same destination. The reorder buffer stores instructions in program order, and retires instructions that have executed and the results obtained. When a instruction is retired, the results of the instruction are stored and the memory space in the reorder buffer is deallocated. The results of the retired instructions are stored to a register file via a retire bus. If the results of two or more retired instructions output to the same register in the register file, then only the newest instruction, the later instruction in the original program sequence, is stored to the program register. The register file has a plurality of write ports for the transfer of data via the retire bus. If two retired instructions output to the same register, then a write port is not utilized. The retire window is the number of instructions monitored for retirement.

  • Patent number: 5987596
    Abstract: A register rename unit employs a rename map stack upon which a register rename map corresponding to each dispatched instruction is pushed. Upon occurrence of an exception, the register rename maps corresponding to instructions subsequent to the instruction experiencing the exception are popped from the stack. In this manner, the architected register to implemented register mapping consistent with the instruction experiencing the exception is restored. According to one embodiment, the rename map stack can be recovered from an exception in one clock cycle. In one particular implementation, the rename map stack comprises multiple independent stacks. Each independent stack corresponds to one of the architected registers, and stores implemented register specifiers corresponding to that architected register.

  • Patent number: 5922069
    Abstract: A reorder buffer is provided which decouples allocation of storage space within the buffer for storing instructions from forwarding of the corresponding operands. When instructions are presented to the reorder buffer for storage and dependency checking, the reorder buffer allocates storage for the instructions and corresponding instruction results. If an unresolved dependency is detected, the instructions remain stored in the reorder buffer but operand forwarding is delayed until the unresolved dependency becomes resolved. Advantageously, the previously included extra storage and multiplexing prior to dependency checking may be eliminated. Additional clock cycle time may be available for performing dependency checking. Additionally, area formerly occupied by the extra storage is freed for other purposes.
