This context data may be combined with fingerprint data (e.g., biometrics) to help identify the fingerprint data. For example, a location of a user may help associated speech detected at that location with the user. These associations may be stored in a mapping database that can be updated over time to reduce ambiguities in identification. The mappings in the database may be used to train a machine learning model to recognize fingerprints as identities, which may be useful in applications, such as speaker identification.

When first queue requests reach a threshold, the NIC aggregates the first queue requests into a first packet and sends the first packet to the destination NIC. The NIC receives a plurality of packets, a second packet comprising memory-operation requests, each request associated with a same destination NIC and a destination core. The NIC buffers asynchronously the requests of the second packet into queues based on the destination core, each queue specific to a corresponding destination core. When second queue requests reach the threshold, the NIC aggregates the second queue requests into a third packet and sends the third packet to the destination core.

Apparatuses and methods related to mitigating unauthorized memory access are described. Mitigating unauthorized memory access can include verifying whether an access command is authorized to access a protected region of a memory array. The authorization can be verified utilizing a key and a memory address corresponding to the access command. If an access command is authorized to access a protected region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command can be activated. If an access command is not authorized to access the protected region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command may not be activated.
