A scheme intelligently balances existing TM0 resources to simultaneously boost both AC and DC power delivery topologies without incurring a penalty on either area or IR drop. TM0 tracks are either regular or staples. Regular tracks are continuous across the width of an active silicon. Staples are located right under the respective TM1 (Top Metal 1) tracks. TM1 is above TM0 in the hierarchy of metal layers. The staples aid in increasing the total TV0 (Top Via 0 that connects TM0 to TM1) density for all supplies simultaneously as they are consecutively track-shared between the TM1 tracks. This boost in via density helps reduce the net series resistance of the MIM capacitor as the Manhattan (displacement) distance between the supply and ground vias is now reduced. The outcome is a high-density high-bandwidth MIM capacitor, located between the main power distribution layers in the die metal stack—TM0 and TM1.

An algorithm is trained on a dataset to facilitate dynamic data exfiltration protection in a zero-trust environment. An inversion threat model using the original training dataset (a ‘gold standard’ inversion model) may also be generated. This inversion model can be characterized to determine its performance/accuracy of properly identifying a given input as being within the original training dataset or not (a data exfiltration event). It is possible to reduce this risk of data exfiltration to a desired level, without unduly impacting the algorithm's performance using the inversion model for the generation of noise that is targeted (as opposed to Gaussian noise). Noise added to the original training dataset causes the inversion model to perform poorer (meaning data steward data is more secure) but has a corresponding impact on the algorithm accuracy and performance. By adding noise generated by the inversion model in an iterative manner, and measuring the inversion model's performance, a balance can be reached where the data steward's data is considered secure, while minimizing the negative impact on the algorithm performance.

Redistribution of files in a containerized distributed file system is disclosed. Containers each have an engine and a scanner and each of the containers stores files and parameters for characteristics of files stored on the container. A first engine in a first container monitors characteristics of files stored on the first container and, responsive to determining that the parameters for files on the first container exceed one or more predetermined thresholds, communicates with a second engine in a second container to determine a destination container for one or more files from the first container. The second engine in the second container indicates to the first engine in the first container whether the second container is available to receive one or more files from the first container. The first engine triggers file system scanning by the scanner of the first container to identify files to be moved to the second container.

Techniques are provided for tiering snapshots to archival storage in remote object stores. A restore time metric, indicating that objects comprising snapshot data of snapshots created within a threshold timespan are to be available within a storage tier of a remote object store for performing restore operations, may be identified. A scanner may be executed to evaluate snapshots using the restore time metric to identify a set of candidate snapshots for archival from the storage tier to an archival storage tier of the remote object store. For each candidate snapshot within the set of candidate snapshots, the scanner may evaluate metadata associated with the candidate snapshot to identity one or more objects eligible for archival from the storage tier to the archival storage tier, and may archive the one or more objects from the storage tier to the archival storage tier.

A communication system for an industrial process includes multiple slave modules connected in series with a master controller. The master controller stores a communication schedule that defines an ordered sequence of messages and identifiers associated with each message. The master controller transmits messages downstream through the slave modules to a terminal one of the slave modules. The terminal slave module generates a return message that is transmitted upstream to the master controller. Each slave module receives each downstream message, identifies based on the message identifier whether the message is associated with response information from the slave module, and inserts the response information into corresponding upstream messages.

In one aspect, a delta prefetcher disclosed herein bases its predictions on both past memory accesses and predictively prefetched memory accesses. More specifically, the delta prefetcher disclosed herein bases its prediction on both the difference or “delta” between memory addresses of data previously fetched from memory and the difference or “delta” between addresses of data predictively fetched from memory. The delta prefetcher tracks the delta memory accesses by utilizing two distinctive tables. The fetch table tracks the memory deltas for each memory operation, such as a LOAD or STORE instruction, that the CPU has executed. The delta table predicts the next memory address to prefetch based on the last prefetched memory accesses.
