Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system which executes a load instruction or a store instruction. During operation the system receives a load instruction. The system then determines if an unrestricted entry or a restricted entry in a store queue contains data that satisfies the load instruction. If not, the system retrieves data for the load instruction from a cache. If so, the system conditionally forwards data from the unrestricted entry or the restricted entry by: (1) forwarding data from an unrestricted entry that contains the youngest store that satisfies the load instruction when any number of unrestricted or restricted entries contain data that satisfies the load instruction; (2) forwarding data from an unrestricted entry when only one restricted entry and no unrestricted entries contain data that satisfies the load instruction; and (3) deferring the load instruction by placing the load instruction in a deferred queue when two or more restricted entries and no unrestricted entries contain data that satisfies the load instruction.

Abstract: The described embodiments provide a system that facilitates inter-chip alignment for proximity communication and power delivery. The system includes a first integrated circuit chip and a second integrated circuit chip, both of which whose surfaces have corresponding etch pit wells configured to align with each other. A shaped structure is placed in an etch pit well of the first integrated circuit chip such that when the corresponding etch pit well of the second integrated circuit chip is substantially aligned with the etch pit well of the first integrated circuit chip, the shaped structure mates with both the etch pit well of the first integrated circuit chip and with the corresponding etch pit well of the second integrated circuit chip, thereby aligning the first integrated circuit chip with the second integrated circuit chip. In some embodiments the etch pit wells include conductive structures for routing power through a conductive shaped structure.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that reports reasons for failure during transactional execution. During operation, the system transactionally executes a block of instructions in a program. If the transactional execution of the block of instructions completes successfully, the system commits changes made during the transactional execution, and resumes normal non-transactional execution of the program past the block of instructions. Otherwise, if transactional execution of the block of instructions fails, the system discards changes made during the transactional execution, and records failure information indicating why the transactional execution failed.

Abstract: A method for resetting a pin on an access card is disclosed. The method includes generating a server authentication (SA) public key and an SA private key and attempting a write of the SA public key to the access card over a non-secure channel. The method further includes determining if the access card currently contains an existing SA public key. The attempted write of the SA public key is handled by one of: (i) completing the attempted write of the SA public key to the access card over the non-secure channel if it is determined that the access card did not contain an existing public key; (ii) denying the attempted write of the SA public key to the access card over the non-secure channel if it is determined that the existing SA public key matches the SA public key that is attempted by the write; and (iii) denying the attempted write of the SA public key to the access card over the non-secure channel if it is determined that the existing SA public key does not match the SA public key that is attempted by the write.

Abstract: An integrated circuit containing a communication channel is described. This communication channel includes: a transmit circuit configured to transmit signals; a link coupled to an output of the transmit circuit; a receive circuit coupled to the link; and a clamping circuit coupled to the link. Note that the transmit circuit is capacitively coupled to the receive circuit via the link. Furthermore, the clamping circuit is configured to compensate for leakage current on the link by maintaining a voltage on the link corresponding to a logical “1” or a logical “0.” This voltage is based on a history of the transmitted signals.

Abstract: In general, the invention relates to a method for garbage collection. The method includes examining old regions to obtain a mark bitmap, a connectivity matrix, and fragmentation information, where the mark bitmap describes marked words and unmarked words for the old regions. The method further includes identifying a fragmented region in the old regions based on the fragmentation information, where the fragmented region includes at least one of the marked words. The method further includes copying the at least one of the marked words to a new region allocated from a pool of free regions, designating each of the unmarked words not in the fragmented region as free, adjusting a cross-region reference to the fragmented region in the marked words to point to the new region based on the connectivity matrix, and adding the fragmented region to the pool of free regions.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that measures a power efficiency of a computer system. During operation, the system collects telemetry data from a set of sensors within the computer system. Next, the system determines a power consumption of the computer system from the telemetry data and determines a number of input/output operations per second (IOPS) for the computer system from the telemetry data. Finally, the system computes an IOPS per watt metric from the power consumption and the number of IOPS.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for providing launchable application source code are presented. A determination is made regarding which target platforms a launchable application executable will be run on. Once the platforms have been determined, a cross platform executable is generated using the launchable application source code. Platform specific executables are also generated for each selected platform. The cross platform executable is then combined with the platform specific executable for the platform to provide the platform independent launchable application. The platform specific executable is launched by an Operating System as part of a system service, such as a screensaver, and calls the cross platform executable which is executed on a virtual machine running on the platform.
