Abstract: Encryption techniques for securing data in a data cache are generally disclosed. Example methods may include one or more of reading the cache to identify data, determining whether the data is encrypted to identify previously unencrypted data and/or previously encrypted data, and encrypting selectively at least a portion of the previously unencrypted data. The present disclosure also generally relates to a computer system data processor configured to read a cache to identify data, determine whether the read data is encrypted, and encrypt selectively at least a portion of the previously unencrypted data. The present disclosure also generally relates to computer accessible mediums containing computer-executable instructions for data encryption upon execution of the instructions by a data processor. The instructions may configure the data processor to perform procedures that read the cache to identify data, determine whether the data is encrypted, and selectively encrypt data determined as unencrypted.

Abstract: Techniques described herein generally relate to multi-core processors including two or more processor cores. Example embodiments may set forth devices, methods, and computer programs related to calculating a clock rate for one or more of the processor cores in the multi-core processor. One example method may include determining a first estimated workload for a first processor core and a second estimated workload for a second processor core within a scheduling interval in a periodic scheduling environment. In addition, a first clock rate for the first processor core may be calculated based on one or more of the first estimated workload, a maximum clock rate supported by the multi-core processor and/or the scheduling interval. Similarly, a second clock rate for the second processor core may also be calculated based on one or more of the second estimated workload, the maximum clock rate, and/or the scheduling interval.

Abstract: Techniques described herein generally relate to methods, data processing devices and computer readable media to ensure that data stored in a remote backing storage device are in encrypted form before that data is transferred to another device or over a network. In some examples, the methods, data processing devices and computer readable media may be arranged to encrypt the data passed to the network when the data stored in the backing storage device is in unencrypted form. Also disclosed are methods, data processing devices and computer readable media that identify when the data stored in the backing storage device is in unencrypted form, including methods that may detect that the data may appear to be in encrypted form as a result of the data being compressed.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described herein for handling interrupts within a multiprocessor computing system. Upon receiving an interrupt at the multiprocessor computing system, a priority level associated with an interrupt handler for the interrupt can be determined. Current task priority levels can be queried from one or more processors of the multiprocessor computing system. One of the processors can be assigned to execute the interrupt handler in response to the processor having a lowest current task priority level. Interrupt arbitration can schedule and communicate interrupt responses among processor cores in a multiprocessor computing system. Arbitration can query information about current task or thread priorities from a set of processor cores upon receiving an interrupt. The processor core that is currently idle or running the lowest priority task may be selected to service the interrupt.

Abstract: Techniques for pre-filling a cache associated with a second core prior to migration of a thread from a first core to the second core are generally disclosed. The present disclosure contemplates that some computer systems may include a plurality of processor cores, and that some cores may have hardware capabilities different from other cores. In order to assign threads to appropriate cores, thread/core mapping may be utilized and, in some cases, a thread may be reassigned from one core to another core. In a probabilistic anticipation that a thread may be migrated from a first core to a second core, a cache associated with the second core may be pre-filled (e.g., may become filled with some data before the thread is rescheduled on the second core). Such a cache may be a local cache to the second core and/or an associated buffer cache, for example.

The discerning operation is performed by at least one processor of a computer network. A time and/or location at which salable output is to be made available and/or an amount of salable output to be made available may be determined dependent upon the discerning operation.
