International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718001000

Abstract:

A lightweight virtual machine monitor (“LVMM”) allocates devices on a virtual host. In one embodiment, the LVMM identifies a primary and a secondary VM on the virtual host. The LVMM may expose various devices on the virtual host directly to the primary VM and provide these devices as virtual devices to the secondary partition.

International Classification:

G06F 1/24

US Classification:

713100000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is described herein for emulating a physical trusted platform module (TPM) in a virtual monitor, such as a system management mode (SMM) or a system management interrupt (SMI) transfer monitor (STM). By allowing SMIs during a secure launch, SMM is allowed into the secure launch trust perimeter and a virtual monitor may emulate the structures, behaviors, and protcted storage of a physical TMP, such as the storage of cryptographic keys, secure verification, attestation, and other TPM functions.

Appl. No.:

6/301999

Assignee:

Data General Corporation - Westboro MA

International Classification:

G06F 900

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

In the digital computer system of the present invention, data items called immediate names represent other data items. The immediate name specifies either the address of the represented data item or the address of a pointer to the represented data item. Each immediate name contains a base address specifier specifying one of a set of architectural base addresses, an indirection specifier specifying whether the immediate name specifies the address of the represented item or the address of a pointer to the item, and a displacement from the specified architectural base address. The architectural base addresses are contained in registers accessible to a processor in the digital data processing system. The registers are loaded only when the processor preforms a call operation or a return operation. When the immediate name specifies the address of the represented item, the processor produces the address by combining the displacement specified in the displacement specifier with the architectural base address indicated by the base address specifier.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345328

Abstract:

A capture device permits selecting portions of a media stream encoded with associated data based on specified event data. The associated data corresponds to the content within the media stream, and the event data includes words and phrases of media desired by a user. The capture device contains a media processing unit, a delay device, and a control device. The media processing unit includes a decoder that is configured to receive media streams and extract the associated data from the media stream. The delay device, configured as a circular buffer, stores a predetermined length of the media stream. The control device receives the event data, compares the associated data with the event data, and generates a trigger event when the associated data matches the event data.

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

A method for executing call and return instructions in a digital computer system operating under control of microcode. The microcode may specify calls to and returns from sequences of microinstructions. A call microinstruction sequence corresponds to the call instruction. The call microcode in turn calls other microinstruction sequences for deriving pointers representing the location of the called procedure and of arguments from operands in the call instruction. As the call microcode obtains each argument pointer, it places the pointer on the stack. After it has obtained all of the argument pointers, it passes the pointer to the called procedure and a pointer to the argument pointers to a general call microinstruction sequence. That microinstruction sequence locates the called procedure, makes a new frame including the argument pointers, and saves the state necessary to resume execution of the call microinstruction sequence itself. It then obtains the state necessary to commence execution of the called procedure and causes execution of that procedure to commence.
