The technology disclosed relates to maintaining a cache of effective properties in an identity management system employing a graph. In particular, it relates to handling vertex/edge and/or graph topology updates in accordance with update notification requirements configured from a schema and, in conjunction with detecting updating of vertex/edge attributes and/or graph topology, recalculating effective attributes in accordance with the configured notification requirements.

Disclosed are a method for inheriting a defect block table and a storage device thereof. The method applied to a controller of a storage device includes the steps of: storing an original defect block table in a first storage location of a storage module of the storage device, wherein the original defect block table records defect block information of each plane of the storage module; and in response to a low-level format operation being performed on the storage device, reading the original defect block table, and executing a adaptive inheritance procedure based on a multi-plane mode in which the storage device operates, to generate and store a system defect block table in a second storage location of the storage module, wherein the system defect block table records defect block information corresponding to the multi-plane mode.

A network interface device has data path circuitry configured to cause data to be moved into and/or out of the network interface device. The data path circuitry comprises: first circuitry for providing one or more data processing operations; and interface circuitry supporting channels. The channels comprises command channels receiving command information from a plurality of data path circuitry user instances, event channels providing respective command completion information to the plurality of data path user instances; and data channels providing the associated data.

Methods, systems, and devices for distributed caching of encrypted encryption keys are described. Some multi-tenant database systems may support encryption of data records. To efficiently handle multiple encryption keys across multiple application servers, the database system may store the encryption keys in a distributed cache accessible by each of the application servers. To securely cache the encryption keys, the database system may encrypt (e.g., wrap) each data encryption key (DEK) using a second encryption key (e.g., a key encryption key (KEK)). The database system may store the DEKs and KEKs in separate caches to further protect the encryption keys. For example, while the encrypted DEKs may be stored in the distributed cache, the KEKs may be stored locally on application servers. The database system may further support “bring your own key” (BYOK) functionality, where a user may upload a tenant secret or tenant-specific encryption key to the database.

An interface for coupling an agent to a fabric supports a set of coherent interconnect protocols and includes a global channel to communicate control signals to support the interface, a request channel to communicate messages associated with requests to other agents on the fabric, a response channel to communicate responses to other agents on the fabric, and a data channel to couple to communicate messages associated with data transfers to other agents on the fabric, where the data transfers include payload data.

An arithmetic processor including a plurality of core groups each including a plurality of cores and a cache unit, a plurality of home agents each including a tag directory and a store command queue and a store command queue. The store command queue enters the received store request to the entry queue in order of reception, the cache unit stores the data of the store request in a data RAM. The store command queue sets a data ownership acquisition flag of the store request to valid when obtaining a data ownership of the store request and issues a top-of-queue notification to the cache control unit when the flag of the top-of-queue entry is valid. In response to the top-of-queue notification, the cache unit update a cache tag to modified state and issue a store request completion notification.

A tile-based graphics system has a rendering space sub-divided into a plurality of tiles which are to be processed. Graphics data items, such as parameters or texels, are fetched into a cache for use in processing one of the tiles. Indicators are determined for the graphics data items, whereby the indicator for a graphics data item indicates the number of tiles with which that graphics data item is associated. The graphics data items are evicted from the cache in accordance with the indicators of the graphics data items. For example, the indicator for a graphics data item may be a count of the number of tiles with which that graphics data item is associated, whereby the graphics data item(s) with the lowest count(s) is (are) evicted from the cache.
