Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to time-aware blockchain staged regulatory control of Internet of Things (“IoT”) data. A federation platform can receive a registration request from an enterprise edge platform to register a blockchain identifier for publication of public data on a public blockchain. The federation platform can determine if the registration request contains any restricted data parameters. In response to determining that the registration request does not contain any restricted data parameters, the federation platform can query a security module to obtain an encryption key. The federation platform can receive the encryption key from the security module and store the encryption key in association with the blockchain identifier and an enterprise edge platform ID that uniquely identifies the enterprise edge platform.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to data compression in graphics processors. In some embodiments, cache circuitry is coupled to shader processor circuitry and is configured to store graphics data that includes a compressed block of data associated with a surface and metadata for the compressed block of data. Metadata coherence circuitry may cache the metadata for the compressed block of data, receive an indication of a write command for non-compressed data associated with the surface, wherein the write command identifies the metadata and has a different address than the compressed block of data, and determine, based on the metadata and the indication, to invalidate the compressed block of data in the cache circuitry. This may maintain read/write coherence in a cache that stores both compressed and uncompressed data, in some embodiments.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to graphics processor data caches. In some embodiments, datapath executes instructions that operate on input operands from architectural registers. Data cache circuitry caches architectural register data for the datapath circuitry. Scoreboard circuitry tracks, for a given architectural register: map information that indicates whether the architectural register is mapped to an entry of the data cache circuitry and a pointer to the entry of the data cache circuitry. Tiered scoreboard circuitry and data storage circuitry may be implemented (e.g., to provide fast scoreboard access for active threads and to give a landing spot for long-latency data retrieval operations). Various disclosed techniques may improve cache performance, reduce power consumption, reduce area, or some combination thereof.

Abstract: A system includes an interface module that interfaces with disparate data sources for health data. The module monitors the data sources for updates, and extracts, transforms and loads health data. A data normalizing module normalizes the health data for a population. A domain selection and indicator selection module selects domains and indicators based on significance to health, validity of indicators, availability of the indicators, applicability of indicators for the population, and timeliness of the indicators. The module also selects a subset of indicators for computational time efficiency. A weight generation module generates weights for the domains and the subset of indicators based on a random sample of the health data. A whole health index calculation module calculates a weighted sum of the health data based on the weights to obtain a whole health index for the population.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to multi-block fetches for cache misses. In some embodiments, cache tag circuitry maintains a tag value that is shared by multiple cache blocks. In response to a miss, the cache may initiate a fetch request to a next level cache or memory.

In various embodiments, disclosed techniques may improve performance (e.g., by reducing fetch bus transactions), reduce power consumption, or both, relative to traditional techniques.
