Title: Fault tolerant processor for real-time systems
Inventor: JULIAN BAILEY
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2015-05-01
Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of checking the operation of a multi-threaded processor. The method starts, in a first mode fault tolerant of operation, by the scheduler of the multi-threaded processor issuing an instruction to a plurality of threads. Each of the threads execute the instruction and generate individual results. The results are then compared, to determine if they match. If the results do not match then an error signal or event is triggered. The determination of an error may result in the flushing of the execution stage and trigger the scheduler to fetch the instruction again for the threads. The error/event may increment a performance counter within the processor. The comparison logic may have buffers to store the results, comparison logic to compare the results and event/error trigger logic to trigger an error/event in response to the comparator identifying that the results are not the same. The processor may also have a normal multi-thread, where each thread fetches its own instructions and the comparison hardware is bypassed.

Patent GB-2546135-A (GB)
Title: Robust computing device identification framework
Inventor: Sanjeev Kumar Biswas
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: A client device is tracked over a period of time using refresh tokens that are exchanged in conjunction with routine client-server communications. Each communication cycle between client and server includes a refresh token that is recorded at the server. The recorded refresh tokens are mapped to both server- and client-generated device identifiers. As communications between client and server occur, a chain of tokens, one for each communication cycle, is progressively recorded at the server. If the server receives a token that is outdated with respect to that which is otherwise expected based on the progression of the recorded chain, this suggests that the received communication was transmitted from a device that is a clone of another client device.
