Examples described herein include systems and methods for retaining information about bad memory pages across an operating system reboot. An example method includes detecting, by a first instance of an operating system, an error in a memory page of a non-transitory storage medium of a computing device executing the operating system. The operating system can tag the memory page as a bad memory page, indicating that the memory page should not be used by the operating system. The operating system can also store tag information indicating memory pages of the storage medium that are tagged as bad memory pages. The example method can also include receiving an instruction to reboot the operating system, booting a second instance of the operating system, and providing the tag information to the second instance of the operating system. The operating system can use the tag information to avoid using the bad memory pages.

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.

Methods and systems for managing sets of transactions for replication are provided. A system includes a number of origination nodes forming a source array. A sequence number generator generates sequence numbers based, at least in part, on a time interval during which a transaction is received. A subset manager groups transactions into subsets based, at least in part, on the sequence number.

A streaming engine employed in a digital data processor may specify a fixed read-only data stream defined by plural nested loops. An address generator produces address of data elements for the nested loops. A steam head register stores data elements next to be supplied to functional units for use as operands. A stream template register independently specifies a linear address or a circular address mode for each of the nested loops.

Techniques are described for metadata processing that can be used to encode an arbitrary number of security policies for code running on a processor. Metadata may be added to every word in the system and a metadata processing unit may be used that works in parallel with data flow to enforce an arbitrary set of policies. In one aspect, the metadata may be characterized as unbounded and software programmable to be applicable to a wide range of metadata processing policies. Techniques and policies have a wide range of uses including, for example, safety, security, and synchronization. Additionally, described are aspects and techniques in connection with metadata processing in an embodiment based on the RISC-V architecture.

Methods and systems for collision handling during an asynchronous replication are provided. A system includes a cache memory system comprising a number of cache memory pages. A collision detector detects when a host is attempting to overwrite a cache memory page that has not been completely replicated. A revision page tagger copies the cache memory page to a free page and tags the copied page as protected.

An apparatus is disclosed in which the apparatus may include a plurality of cores, including a first core, a second core and a third core, and circuitry coupled to the first core. The first core may be configured to process a plurality of instructions. The circuitry may be may be configured to detect that the first core stopped committing a subset of the plurality of instructions, and to send an indication to the second core that the first core stopped committing the subset. The second core may be configured to disable the first core from further processing instructions of the subset responsive to receiving the indication, and to copy data from the first core to a third core responsive to disabling the first core. The third core may be configured to resume processing the subset dependent upon the data.
