  • COMPUTATIONAL MEMORY WITH ZERO DISABLE AND ERROR DETECTION
    Publication number: 20220263525
    Abstract: A processing element includes an input zero detector to detect whether the input from the neighbor processing element contains a zero. When the input from the neighbor processing element contains the zero, a zero disable circuit controls the input from the neighbor processing element and respective data of the memory to both appear as unchanged to the arithmetic logic unit for the operation. A controller of an array of processing elements adds a row of error-checking values to a matrix of coefficients, each error-checking value of the row of error-checking values being a negative sum of a respective column of the matrix of coefficients. The controller controls a processing element to perform an operation with the matrix of coefficients and an input vector to accumulate a result vector. Owing to the error-checking values, when a sum of elements of the result vector is non-zero, an error is detected.

  • Recovery protocols for system malfunctions in virtual computing environments
    Patent number: 11379295
    Abstract: Generally described, the present disclosure relates to the use of a virtual machine monitor to instruct one or more virtual processing units belonging to a malfunctioning virtual machine instance to pause processing. While paused, the virtual machine monitor may store the register data of the virtual processing units to virtual memory of the virtual machine instance (e.g., perform a register dump on behalf of the virtual processing units of the malfunctioning virtual machine instance). The virtual machine monitor may then instruct virtual processing units to reinitialize and invoke protected software (e.g., a crash kernel) from virtual memory in an effort to recover from virtual memory the register data dumped there by the VM monitor.
