    Abstract: A circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a first group of circuits configured to perform a first set of operations. The circuit system also includes a second integrated circuit die having a second group of circuits configured to start performing a second set of operations with a delay after the first group of circuits starts performing the first set of operations to reduce power supply voltage droop. The operations performed by the first and second groups of circuits can be interleaved with a fixed or a variable delay. Logic circuits can be partitioned into the first and the second groups of circuits based on predicted switching activity of the logic circuits. Decoupling capacitors in integrated circuit dies can be coupled together to reduce droop in a supply voltage during a high current event.

    Abstract: Implementations describe a computing system that implements a plurality of virtual machines inside a trust domain (TD), enabled via a secure arbitration mode (SEAM) of the processor. A processor includes one or more registers to store a SEAM range of memory, a TD key identifier of a TD private encryption key. The processor is capable of initializing a trust domain resource manager (TDRM) to manage the TD, and a virtual machine monitor within the TD to manage the plurality of virtual machines therein. The processor is further capable of exclusively associating a plurality of memory pages with the TD, wherein the plurality of memory pages associated with the TD is encrypted with a TD private encryption key inaccessible to the TDRM. The processor is further capable of using the SEAM range of memory, inaccessible to the TDRM, to provide isolation between the TDRM and the plurality of virtual machines.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for software-defined coherent caching of pooled memory. The pooled memory is implemented in an environment having a disaggregated architecture where compute resources such as compute platforms are connected to disaggregated memory via a network or fabric. Software-defined caching policies are implemented in hardware in a processor SoC or discrete device such as a Network Interface Controller (NIC) by programming logic in an FPGA or accelerator on the SoC or discrete device. The programmed logic is configured to implement software-defined caching policies in hardware for effecting disaggregated memory (DM) caching in an associated DM cache of at least a portion of an address space allocated for the software application in the disaggregated memory. In connection with DM cache operations, such as cache lines evicted from a CPU, logic implemented in hardware determines whether a cache line in a DM cache is to be evicted and implements the software-defined caching policy for the DM cache including associated memory coherency operations.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to defer signal that may be for prioritized access as part of a communication protocol. A device may generate a defer signal to be used with a prioritized access for one or more station devices (STAs). The device may include a rate field and a length field in the defer signal. The device may cause to send the defer signal to the one or more STAs. The benefit of the disclosed defer signal is that that legacy devices may understand it and defer for a certain duration because of the defer signal, all while keeping the defer signal as small as possible to save time.
