IPC: H04J13/16
Filed: 2017-03-16
Abstract: A spread spectrum system is used for transmitting data to devices in a distributed system. Each device 202 has a respective spread spectrum code 53, 57, and has a corresponding encoder in a central control system operating the same spread spectrum codes, the encoded data relating to the devices being aggregated over a shared channel.

Title: Repartitioning data in a distributed computing system
Inventor: HOSSEIN AHMADI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-08-10
Abstract: A method of repartitioning data in a distributed computing system 100 from at least one source 110, 115 to at least one sink 150, 155 through an intermediary transient memory, wherein the source allocates a segment of the intermediary memory 130 to be written to, writes to the segment, then publishes the segment to be read by the source. In the embodiments, a shared memory is accessible for write by a plurality of sources and accessible for read by a plurality of sinks. Instead of allocation of memory and publication of address being controlled centrally by the intermediary memory, the allocation and publication of addresses is controlled by the sources in place of a centralised controller. The transient memory may be flushed to permanent memory when it reaches a threshold. The method is suited to remote direct memory access (RDMA) techniques. Computer system and storage device also claimed.

Title: Controlling guard tag checking in memory accesses
Inventor: GRAEME PETER BARNES
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2018-02-02
Abstract: A computer has tag-guard control information 72 in page table mappings (e.g. a page table entry 70 in a Translation Lookaside Buffer, TLB) which perform a translation 73 of virtual addresses 64 into physical addresses 66. Based on tag-guard control information TGC 50, circuitry 76 performs a guard-tag check by comparing an address-tag 78 associated with a target physical address 66 with a guard-tag 86 associated with a block of addressed locations in memory 68. Based on the tag-guard control information TGC, memory access circuitry (e.g. an MMU) may not perform a guard-tag check in some of the addressed locations. The page table entry may include multiple tag guard control bits, separate for read/write, store/load instructions, as well as permissions bits (see fig 5C). Such use of tagged-memory checks may allow for detection of run-time errors for memory unsafe languages, such as C and C++.
