Title: Communication between host and accelerator over network
Inventor: OLA TØRUDBAKKEN
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2020-07-14
Abstract: A host system compiles a set of local programs which are provided over a network to a plurality of subsystems. By defining the synchronisation activity on the host, and then providing that information to the subsystems, the host can service a large number of subsystems. The defined synchronisation activity includes defining the synchronisation groups between which synchronisation barriers occur and the points during program execution at which data exchange with the host occurs. Defining synchronisation activity between the subsystems allows a large number of subsystems to be connecting whilst minimising the required exchanges with the host.

Patent GB-2607562-A (GB)
Title: Physically Unclonable Function device
Inventor: TIM PALMER
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2021-04-12
Abstract: The device comprises conductors arranged so that they interact electrically and/or magnetically with one another and surrounded by a media. Circuitry is configured to apply an electrical challenge signal to the conductors to generate an identifying PUF response unique to the device. Incorporated into the media surrounding the conductors are interactive regions having an electrical and/or magnetic response characteristic. The interactive regions may be permanently altered buy predetermined environmental events, thus subsequently the PUF’s identifying response is altered. For example, an adversary may expose the device to conditions outside its normal range of operation, which may indicate they are attempting to extract information other than by performing a call and response in order to build a model of the device. Therefore, it is difficult to model the device without access to the initial design and attempts to extract layout information from the device will render it inoperable. Further, tampering attempts may change the PUF output such that tampering is subsequently detected. The response characteristic may comprise conductivity, permittivity, permeability and magnetic moment of each of the interactive regions. The regions comprise neodymium and ferromagnetic particles distributed nonuniformly in the media.

Title: Compression and decompression of sub-primitive presence indications for use in intersection testing in a rendering system
Inventor: SIMON FENNEY
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2022-05-30
Abstract: Decompressing or decoding data representing a block of sub-primitive presence indicators which indicate opacity states of sub-primitives or sub-triangles in a primitive for intersection testing in graphics processing. In embodiments the opacity states are: wholly opaque or present, wholly transparent, or partially present (the primitive is mixed: partly opaque and partly transparent). This is useful for rendering alpha or masked textures in punch-through primitives representing complex shapes like leaves, where part of the primitive is given a see-through or transparent texture. By encoding sub-primitive presence indicators, the ray tracer or intersection tester (e.g. in a shader) can run with less interruption for detailed testing of whether an intersection is at a transparent location, hence introducing less latency. In this invention the block of presence indicators is split into parent regions and each parent regions is further divided into child regions having a presence state based on sub-primitive presence indications in the block. Where all child regions a parent have the same presence indication, the compressed data indicated parent level data without child level data. In embodiments a quadtree defines the parent and child regions. Parent level data may also indicate child nodes are restricted to two of the three opacity states.
