Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for detecting an outbound communication and identifying a context of the outbound communication. Additionally, a completion status of the outbound communication may be tracked relative to the context. In one example, tracking the completion status includes incrementing a sent messages counter associated with the context in response to the outbound communication, detecting an acknowledgement of the outbound communication based on a network response to the outbound communication, incrementing a received acknowledgements counter associated with the context in response to the acknowledgement, comparing the sent messages counter to the received acknowledgements counter, and triggering a per-context memory ordering operation if the sent messages counter and the received acknowledgements counter have matching values.

Some aspects of the disclosure generally relate to providing single sign on features in mobile applications in a secure environment using a shared vault. An application may prompt a user to provide user entropy such as a passcode (e.g. a password and/or PIN). The application may use the user entropy to decrypt a user-entropy-encrypted vault key. Once the vault key is decrypted, the application may decrypt a vault database of the shared vault. The shared vault may store shared secrets, such as server credentials, and an unlock key. The application may store the unlock key, generate an unlock-key-encrypted vault key, and cause the shared vault to store the unlock-key-encrypted vault key, thereby “unlocking” the vault. The application may then use the unlock key to decrypt the vault database without prompting the user to provide user entropy again.

Atomic instructions, including a Compare And Swap Register, a Load and AND Register, and a Load and OR Register instruction, use registers instead of storage to communicate and share information in a multi-threaded processor. The registers are accessible to multiple threads of the multi-threaded processor, and the instructions operate on these shared registers. Access to the shared registers is controlled by the instructions via interlocking.

A memory subsystem for use with a single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) processor comprising a plurality of processing units configured for processing one or more workgroups each comprising a plurality of SIMD tasks, the memory subsystem comprising: a shared memory partitioned into a plurality of memory portions for allocation to tasks that are to be processed by the processor; and a resource allocator configured to, in response to receiving a memory resource request for first memory resources in respect of a first-received task of a workgroup, allocate to the workgroup a block of memory portions sufficient in size for each task of the workgroup to receive memory resources in the block equivalent to the first memory resources.

An apparatus to facilitate guaranteed forward progress for graphics data is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of ports to receive and transmit streams of graphics data, one or more buffers associated with each of the plurality of ports to store the graphics data and switching logic to virtually partition each of the one or more buffers to allocate a dedicated buffer to receive each of a plurality of independent streams of graphics data.

Methods and apparatus to improve shared memory efficiency are described. In an embodiment, a first version of a code to access one or more registers as shared local memory is compiled. A second version of the same code is also compiled to access a cache as the shared local memory. The first version of the code is executed in response to comparison of a work group size of the code with a threshold value. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

A system comprising a gateway for interfacing external data sources with one or more accelerators. The gateway comprises a plurality of virtual gateways, each of which is configured to stream data from the external data sources to one or more associated accelerators. The plurality of virtual gateways are each configured to stream data from external data sources so that the data is received at an associated accelerator in response to a synchronisation point being obtained by a synchronisation zone. Each of the virtual gateways is assigned a virtual ID so that when data is received at the gateway, data can be delivered to the appropriate gateway.

An electronic device and a tethering method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a housing, and a display exposed through a first portion of the housing. The electronic device also includes an electrical connector exposed through a second portion of the housing, and a wireless communication circuit. The electronic device further includes a first processor operably coupled to the display and the electrical connector and configured to use a first memory address region including a first plurality of addresses. The electronic device also includes a second processor operably coupled to the wireless communication circuit and configured to use a second memory address region including a second plurality of virtual addresses. The electronic device also include an electric circuitry operably coupled to the first processor and the second processor and configured to provide relations between the first plurality of addresses and the second plurality of virtual addresses.

A data processing system includes a plurality of computers which include a processor and a memory, a storage device which is connected to the plurality of computers to store data, and a management computer controls the plurality of computers. The computer includes a node pool which can perform, stop, and delete one or more nodes. The node pool includes one or more first nodes which function as a data buffer. The management computer causes the node to measure a performance of data transmission between the data buffer and the storage device, determines a number of increased/decreased nodes on the basis of a measurement result of the performance, and notifies the node pool of a command of performing or deleting the first node according to the determined number of increased/decreased nodes. The node pool adjusts a number of the first nodes according to performing or deleting command.
