  • Patent number: 12182037
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to eviction control for cache lines that store register data. In some embodiments, memory hierarchy circuitry is configured to provide memory backing for register operand data in one or more cache circuits. Lock circuitry may control a first set of lock indicators for a set of registers for a first thread, including to assert one or more lock indicators for registers that are indicated, by decode circuitry, as being utilized by decoded instructions of the first thread. The lock circuitry may preserve register operand data in the one or more cache circuits, including to prevent eviction of a given cache line from a cache circuit based on an asserted lock indicator. The lock circuitry may clear the first set of lock indicators in response to a reset event. Disclosed techniques may advantageously retain relevant register information in the cache with limited control circuit area.

  • Patent number: 12184774
    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. The federation platform can store the encryption key in association with the blockchain identifier and an enterprise edge platform ID that uniquely identifies the enterprise edge platform.
