A multi-machine and performance based continuous production planning global optimization scheduling method and device are disclosed. The device for multi-machine and performance-based continuous production planning global optimization scheduling may include a data pre-processing module configured to generate a multi-machine list on performable multiple machines through pre-processing scheduling target data, a scheduling module configured to generate a scheduling result by setting a processing time for a machine related to a single machine list, wherein the single machine list is selected from the multi-machine list, and a data post-processing module configured to store the scheduling result in a database.

An application includes main program code, but also a call handler and an update module. When a specific method or function in the operating system is called, the call is redirected to the call handler in the application. The call handler then calls the function in the operating system. The function retrieves an object to present in a user interface to the application. But before the object is rendered, program control is returned to the call handler, which calls into the update module. The update module determines whether or not the appearance of the object should be changed, for example, in accordance with an A/B test or any other type of update. If so, visual characteristics of the object are changed. Control reverts back to the operating system from the call handler and the object, in its changed form, is presented in the user interface.

Examples of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus, device, method, and computer program for monitoring a processing device from a trusted domain. The apparatus comprises interface circuitry, machine-readable instructions, and processing circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to receive a request for monitoring the processing device from the trusted domain; authenticate the request; obtain information on a failure report related to a component of the processing device, with a possible failure having occurred at runtime of the processing device; and provide the information on the failure report in the trusted domain.

A method executes instructions, each corresponding to switching a signal, a delay, and a condition selected among first, second, or third conditions. Each execution includes performing, after the delay, switching the signal if the condition is the first condition, if the condition is the second condition and a flag is in an active state, or if the condition is the third condition and the flag is in an inactive state, or not switching the signal if the condition is the second condition and the flag is in the inactive state, or if the condition is the third condition and the flag is in the active state. A first instruction represents a first switching of a first signal, a first delay, and the second condition, and is immediately followed by a second instruction representing the first switching of the first signal, a second delay, and the third condition.

An electronic device may include a semiconductor memory structured to include a plurality of memory cells, wherein each of the plurality of memory cells may comprise: a first electrode layer; a second electrode layer; and a selection element layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer to electrically couple or decouple an electrical connection between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer based on a magnitude of an applied voltage or an applied current with respect to a threshold magnitude, wherein the selection element layer has a dopant concentration profile which decreases from an interface between the selection element layer and the first electrode layer toward an interface between the selection element layer and the second electrode layer.

A processor can be configured to access boot firmware from a remote location independent from use of a chipset. After a processor powers-on or reboots, the processor can execute microcode. The microcode will cause the processor to train a link with a remote device. The remote device can provide the processor with access to boot firmware. The processor can copy the boot firmware to the processor's cache or memory. The processor will attempt to authenticate the boot firmware. If the boot firmware is authenticated, the processor executes the copy of the boot firmware.

A method for executing new instructions includes the following steps. An instruction is received. A determination is made as to whether the received instruction is a new instruction. When the received instruction is the new instruction, a emulation flag is generated. The emulation flag is a first value. A system management interrupt is generated according to the emulation flag. In response to the system management interrupt, entering the system management mode and simulating the execution of the received instruction in the system management mode to generate a simulation execution result. The simulation execution result is stored in a system management memory.

Described herein are systems and methods using noisy instructions for side-channel attack mitigation. For example, some methods include fetching an instruction from a memory into a processor pipeline of a processor core that is configured to execute instructions using an architectural state of the processor core; generating a random number; fissioning the instruction into a set of micro-operations that includes one or more micro-operations that perform the instruction and the random number of noisy micro-operations, wherein each of the noisy micro-operations does not affect the architectural state; executing the set of micro-operations using one or more execution units of the processor pipeline; and, retiring, responsive to completion of execution of the set of micro-operations, the instruction.

A method for creating and executing a micro-application includes receiving a user selection of a user interface element within a user interface of a primary application. Source code associated with the selected user interface element is parsed to obtain at least one attribute associated with the selected user interface element. Data associated with the selected user interface element is identified based on the source code. A response based on the at least one attribute and the data is generated. A microapp configured to process the response to obtain the data from within the primary application is generated.
