Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for a fast secure data destruction for NAND memory devices that renders data in a memory cell unreadable. Instead of going through all the erase phases, the memory device may remove sensitive data by performing only the pre-programming phase of the erase process. Thus, the NAND doesn't perform the second and third phases of the erase process. This is much faster and results in data that cannot be reconstructed. In some examples, because the erase pulse is not actually applied and because this is simply a programming operation, data may be rendered unreadable at a per-page level rather than a per-block level as in traditional erases.

The memory array may be organized according to domains, which may refer to various configurations or collections of access lines, and selections thereof, of different portions of the memory array. In various examples, a memory device may determine a plurality of domains for a received access command, or an order for accessing a plurality of domains for a received access command, or combinations thereof, based on an availability of the signal development cache.

Abstract: A docking station according to embodiments provides power to an Information Handling System (IHS) coupled to the docking station. The docking station includes a first power circuit supporting a first power output according to a power delivery protocol limited to a first power level. The docking station also includes a second power circuit supporting a second power output for providing the input power of the docking station to the IHS. A controller of the docking station determines whether the IHS requires power using the power delivery protocol and selects the operation of the first or second power circuit. The docking station may support dual of such selectable power pathways using a docking cable joined from two individual cables, where each cable provides a separate power and/or data coupling. The docking station thus supports powering devices according to a power delivery protocol or using the input power to the docking station.

The instructions may include a device table including addresses for communicating with the peripheral devices. Access to the peripheral devices is blocked until a coupling is detected between the IHS and the docking station. If no coupling is detected within a time threshold, the instructions for operation of the peripheral devices are unloaded.

Abstract: Two threads may communicate via shared memory using two different modes. In a polling mode, a receiving thread may poll an indicator set by the sending thread to determine if a message is present. In a blocking mode, the receiving thread may wait until a synchronization object is set by the sending thread which may cause the receiving thread to return to the polling mode. The polling mode may have low latency buy may use processor activity of the receiving thread to repetitively check the indictor. The blocking mode may have a higher latency but may allow the receiving thread to enter a sleep mode or perform other activities.

Abstract: A first thread enters a polling loop to wait for a signal from a second thread before processing instructions dependent on the polling loop. When entering the polling loop, the first thread sets a reservation for a predetermined memory address. The first thread then executes a reservation-based instruction that can change the execution state of the first thread. Reservation circuitry of the processing device that was executing the first thread monitors the reservation. In the event that the reservation cleared, such as by the second thread modifying data at the predetermined memory address, the first thread is reinstated to its prior execution state. By using a hardware reservation mechanism to monitor for clearing of a set reservation, repeated memory accesses to the memory address by the first thread can be minimized or avoided while in the polling loop and other threads can be allowed to execute at the processing device with reduced interference from the waiting thread.

Abstract: Systems and methods schedule periodic and non-periodic transactions in a multi-port bus environment. The method may comprise performing multiple search passes through a first array of endpoints to determine whether dispatch resources are available for active endpoints satisfying a set of sort criteria. When dispatch resources are not available for an endpoint, a sort level may be marked with a marker to indicate that an endpoint has not been serviced. After the active endpoints in the first array have been serviced by dispatching a periodic transaction to the endpoint or by marking a sort level corresponding to the endpoint, a non-periodic transaction may be dispatched to an active endpoint in a second array. In response to receiving an indication that the dispatch resources have become available, a subsequent search pass may be made through the first array, starting with a highest priority sort level that is marked with the marker.

Abstract: Hardware resources sharing for a computer system running software tasks. A controller stores records including a mutex ID tag and a waiter flag in a cache. Lock and unlock registers are readable by the controller and loadable by the tasks with a mutex ID specifying a hardware resource. The controller monitors whether the lock register for loading with a mutex ID, and then determines whether it corresponds with the tag of a record in the cache. If so, it sets the record's waiter flag. If not, it adds a record having a tag corresponding with the mutex ID. The controller also monitors whether the unlock register for loading with a mutex ID, and then determines whether it corresponds with the tag of a record in the cache. If so, it determines whether that record's waiter flag is set and, if so, it clears that record from the cache.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for avoiding live-lock during transaction execution is herein described. Counting logic is utilized to track successfully committed transactions for each processing element. When a data conflict is detected between transactions on multiple processing elements, priority is provided to the processing element with the lower counting logic value. Furthermore, if the values are the same, then the processing element with the lower identification value is given priority, i.e. allowed to continue while the other transaction is aborted. To avoid live-lock between processing elements that both have predetermined counting logic values, such as maximum counting values, when one processing element reaches the predetermined counting value all counters are reset. In addition, a failure at maximum value (FMV) counter may be provided to count a number of aborts of a transaction when counting logic is at a maximum value.
