Title: Branch Prediction Cache
Inventor: ALASTAIR DAVID REID
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2018-05-24
Abstract: A processor executes different workloads. The workloads may be software tasks, processes or threads or groups or portions of tasks, processes or threads. Branch prediction data stored in memory is divided into sets. Each set corresponds to one workload. The processor has a branch prediction cache, which contains branch prediction data from the set corresponding to to the currently executing workload. The cache does not include any indication of the set or the workload. When the workload changes, any modified branch prediction data for the current workload is written to memory and branch prediction data for the new workload is loaded into the cache. The cache may contain a subset of the set of data for the current workload. New entries may be read into the cache as a result of a cache miss.

Title: Indentation creep plastometry
Inventor: TREVOR WILLIAM CLYNE
IPC: G01N3/42
Filed: 2019-06-17
Abstract: Indentation creep plastometry is performed on a sample 4 by applying a load with an indenter 5. The sample 4 has a recess 6 shaped to match the shape of the contact surface of the indenter 5, which may be spherical. The load is applied over a time period and a creep characteristic of the sample 4 is determined based on the shape and size of the contact surface, the applied load and the progressive penetration of the indenter 5 into the sample 4. The progressive penetration of the indenter 5 may be numerically modelled to determine the time-dependent plastic deformation of the sample 4. There may be a furnace 7 for heating the indenter apparatus to a homologous temperature of the sample greater than 0.5. The indenter 5 may have a second contact surface and may be placed between two samples (4a, 4b, fig 3) and a load applied to press the indenter 5 into both samples to determine a creep characteristic.

A sampling component applies a generalized weight distribution to the respective original sub-components to generate respective normalized sub-components. A transform component applies a transform to the respective normalized sub-components. A cropping component crops high-frequency weights of the respective transformed normalized sub-components to yield a set of low-frequency normalized sub-components to generate a compressed representation of the original sub-components.

At least two power indications may be determined in at least one mode of operation and if these power indications are less than a threshold, then the controller 13 will identify one of the modes as the operation mode. The power output in one mode of operation may be compared with that of another mode and/or to a threshold value and/or to a power demand signal, to identify the operational mode. The operation of other device components may be inhibited during impedance matching. The controller may be activated and powered by a received near field RF signal. The impedance variations may involve switching between different configurations of fixed impedance components or by using variable impedance components. A splitting and rectifying circuit 9 may provide DC power 11 and an RF communication signal to chip 3.

Title: Methods and devices for enabling single page retrieval of merkle tree data
Inventor: STEVEN PATRICK COUGHLAN
IPC: G06F16/22
Filed: 2021-04-29
Abstract: A method for recording Merkle tree data in a page-structured memory having a defined page size includes constructing a Merkle tree from a set of transaction identifiers, the Merkle tree having hash values for each node of the Merkle tree and having a lowest portion containing a plurality of layers including a bottom layer containing the set of transaction identifiers. The lowest portion of the Merkle tree is partitioned into a plurality of nonoverlapping subtrees. For each subtree, intermediate paired nodes for a Merkle proof from a root of the subtree to a Merkle root of the Merkle tree are identified, and the hash values for each subtree and its intermediate paired nodes are stored in a respective one of the pages in the page-structured memory. The transaction identifiers may correspond to a block in a blockchain. Storing the hash tree data in this way allows retrieval of the data necessary for a Merkle proof by retrieving a single page of memory.
