Abstract: Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for managing a first computing device component of a computing device in order to extend an operating life of the computing device component. In an aspect, a processing device may determine a condition estimator of the first computing device component, determine whether the condition estimator of the first computing device component indicates that a condition of the first computing device component is worse than the condition of a second computing device component, and assign workloads to the first and second computing device components to balance deterioration of the condition of the first and second computing device components in response to determining that the condition estimator of the first computing device component indicates that the condition of the first computing device component is worse than the condition of the second computing device component.

Abstract: Various aspects are described herein. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method of communicating data between an electronic unit of a system-on-chip (SoC) and a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The method includes initiating a memory transaction corresponding to first data. The method includes determining a non-unique first signature and a unique second signature associated with the first data based on content of the first data. The method includes determining if the non-unique first signature is stored in at least one of a local buffer on the SoC separate from the DRAM or the DRAM. The method includes determining if the unique second signature is stored in at least one of the local buffer or the DRAM based on determining the non-unique first signature is stored. The method includes eliminating the memory transaction with respect to the DRAM based on determining the unique second signature is stored.

Abstract: Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for adjusting the assignment of tasks to processor cores in a multi-core processing system. In an aspect, a reliability engine may be configured to determine priorities for a selected cluster of processor cores according to various methods depending on whether the selected processor cores are inactive and/or whether the computing device is in a cold boot state. The reliability engine may be configured to determine the priorities according to a round robin scheme, a pseudorandom scheme, from stored and/or collected operation data, or from stored and/or collected built in self test data in response to various activities and boot states of the processor cores. The reliability engine may rearrange a virtual processor identification translation table according to the priorities of the equivalent processor cores.
