Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of performing one or more broadcast or reduction operations using direct memory access (DMA) control circuitry. The DMA control circuitry executes a modified instruction set architecture (ISA) that facilitates the broadcast distribution of data to a plurality of destination addresses in system memory circuitry. The broadcast instruction may include broadcast of a single data value to each destination address. The broadcast instruction may include broadcast of a data array to each destination address. The DMA control circuitry may also execute a reduction instruction that facilitates the retrieval of data from a plurality of source addresses in system memory and performing one or more operations using the retrieved data. Since the DMA control circuitry, rather than the processor circuitry performs the broadcast and reduction operations, system speed and efficiency is beneficially enhanced.

Abstract: Techniques for operating on an indirect memory access instruction, where the instruction accesses a memory location via at least one indirect address. A pipeline processes the instruction and a memory operation engine generates a first access to the at least one indirect address and a second access to a target address determined by the at least one indirect address. A cache memory used with the pipeline and the memory operation engine caches pointers. In response to a cache hit when executing the indirect memory access instruction, operations dereference a pointer to obtain the at least one indirect address, not set a cache bit, and return data for the instruction without storing the data in the cache memory; and in response to a cache miss, operations set the cache bit, obtain, and store a cache line for a missed pointer, and return data without storing the data in the cache memory.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for performing instructions to access a compressed graphic list. In one example, a processor includes fetch and decode circuitry to fetch and decode the single instruction to access the compressed graphic list, and execution circuitry to execute the decoded single instruction to cause access to the compressed graphic list by: receiving, from a load store queue, at a first op-engine associated with a first data location, an indirection request, computing, via the first op-engine, a second data location associated with a second op-engine, computing, via the second op-engine, a third data location associated with a third op-engine responsive to the indirection request, and providing, via the third op-engine, a data response to the load store queue responsive to receiving data from the third data location.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to generate and manage a firewall policy. An example includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine whether an operation is allowed to pass between a first component on a system-on-chip (SoC) and a second component on the SoC, detect an interconnect between the first component on the SoC and the second component on the SoC, cause the interconnect to filter the operation based on the determination of whether the operation is allowed to pass between the first component and the second component, and transmit a request to filter the operation based on the determination of whether the operation is allowed to pass between the first component and the second component.
