Abstract: Pre-silicon fairness evaluation to detect fairness issues pre-silicon. Drivers drive a plurality of commands on one or more interfaces of a device under test to test the device under test. State associated with the device under test is checked. Based on the state, a determination is made as to whether the drivers are to continue driving commands against the device under test. Based on determining that the drivers are to continue driving the commands, a further determination is made as to whether a predefined limit has been reached. Based on determining the predefined limit has been reached, ending the test of the device under test in which the test fails.

A system to secure transactions using a personal device, the system comprises a randomization module to randomize an initial keypad representation to produce a randomized keypad representation; a communication module to: receive from the personal device, an indication to begin a secure transaction to access a resource with an access code; and transmit the randomized keypad representation to the personal device for presentation by the personal device to a user of the personal device; a keypad to receive a series of key presses from the user, the key presses corresponding to the access code based on the randomized keypad representation; and a security module to verify that the series of key presses correspond to the access code.

Abstract: An approach to generating irreducible modules. The approach includes a method that includes receiving, by at least one computing device, data associated with a specification. The method includes defining, by the at least one computing device, a pattern on the received data. The pattern reduces a set of rules into a single condition. The method includes generating, by the at least one computing device, an irreducible module based on the pattern. The irreducible module has one output dependent variable and is associated with a data flow application.

Abstract: Managing playback of a media file, including detecting, while a media file is playing, a trigger mechanism indicating a change in optimal play characteristics of the media file from an original format, wherein the playback of the media file is associated with a first license, in response to detecting the trigger mechanism, instructing a trusted execution environment to request an updated license from a content provider of the media file, and upon receiving a second license for the media file, the trusted execution environment enforces play of the media file using the second license for a second format. The second license allows for the play of the media file to continue at the optimal play characteristics.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to pre-silicon device testing using a persistent command table. An aspect includes receiving a value for a persistent command parameter from a user. Another aspect includes determining whether the value of the persistent command parameter is greater than zero. Another aspect includes based on determining whether the value of the persistent command parameter is greater than zero, selecting a number of commands equal to the value of the persistent command parameter from a regular command table of a driver of a device under test. Another aspect includes adding the selected commands to the persistent command table of the driver. Another aspect includes performing testing of the device under test via the driver using only commands that are in the persistent command table of the driver.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods to apply computer capabilities to tabletop games including board games such as the game of chess. In one embodiment, a camera connected to smart glasses repeatedly feeds real-time images of a board game to a computer vision system that identifies the game, breaks the game board into elementary segments (e.g., individual squares), and identifies game pieces located on the segments. A game state may be determined by reference to a listing of pieces on each segment and a rule set. In addition, hints and/or other guidance may be provided to the player. Moreover, the game state may be described in a standard notation and/or may be transmitted to remote locations for use by other players.
