Abstract:
Techniques for sharing private data objects in a trusted execution environment using a distributed ledger are described. The techniques described herein may enable sharing of data objects, referred to herein as private data objects (PDOs), between individuals and organizations with access and update policies mediated by execution of code (referred to herein as a “smart contract”) carried with the PDO in a secure enclave. A distributed ledger may serve as a “public commit log” to ensure that there is a single, authoritative instance of the object and provide a means of guaranteeing atomicity of updates across interacting objects.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for directly communicating between an accelerator and an instruction sequencer coupled thereto, where the accelerator is a heterogeneous resource with respect to the instruction sequencer. An interface may be used to provide the communication between these resources. Via such a communication mechanism a user-level application may directly communicate with the accelerator without operating system support. Further, the instruction sequencer and the accelerator may perform operations in parallel. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes managing user-level threads on a first instruction sequencer in response to executing user-level instructions on a second instruction sequencer that is under control of an application level program. A first user-level thread is run on the second instruction sequencer and contains one or more user level instructions. A first user level instruction has at least 1) a field that makes reference to one or more instruction sequencers or 2) implicitly references with a pointer to code that specifically addresses one or more instruction sequencers when the code is executed.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a memory management unit (MMU) having entries to store virtual address to physical address translations, where each entry includes a location indicator to indicate whether a memory location for the corresponding entry is present in a local or remote memory. In this way, a common virtual memory space can be shared between the two memories, which may be separated by one or more non-coherent links. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
