Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to encoded inline capabilities. In one example, a system includes a trusted execution environment (TEE) to partition an address space within a memory into a plurality of compartments each associated with code to execute a function, the TEE further to assign a message object in a heap to each compartment, receive a request from a first compartment to send a message block to a specified destination compartment, respond to the request by authenticating the request, generating a corresponding encoded capability, conveying the encoded capability to the destination compartment, and scheduling the destination compartment to respond to the request, and subsequently, respond to a check capability request from the destination compartment by checking the encoded capability and, when the check passes, providing a memory address to access the message block, and, otherwise, generating a fault, wherein each compartment is isolated from other compartments.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to system, method and apparatus to compartmentalize information in a program so as to protect against malware. In one embodiment, the disclosed provides a compiler that is enhanced to automatically define multiple compartments within a program based on the data sets that they access. The disclosed embodiments may be implemented at a compiler and certain embodiments may be referred to as compartmentalizing compiler. For each data set, an exemplary compartmentalizing compiler separates program elements that need direct access to the data set from those that do not and it defines a boundary around the data set and the program elements that need to access it. In certain embodiments, other portions of the program may still need to invoke the compartment. Thus, the disclosure also generates interface routines to copy data back and forth through the compartment boundary.

Abstract: Logic may determine a physical resource assignment via a neural network logic trained to determine an optimal policy for assignment of the physical resources in source code. Logic may generate training data to train a neural network by generating multiple instances of machine code for one or more source codes in accordance with different policies. Logic may generate different policies by adjusting, combining, mutating, and/or randomly changing a previous policy. Logic may execute and measure and/or statically determine measurements for each instance of a machine code associated with a source code to determine a reward associated with each state in the source code. Logic may apply weights and biases to the training data to approximate a value function. Logic may determine a gradient descent of the approximated value function and may backpropagate the output from the gradient descent to adjust the weights and biases to determine an optimal policy.
