A storage management apparatus, a storage management method, a processor, and a computer system are disclosed. The storage management apparatus includes: at least one translation look-aside buffer, configured to store a plurality of cache entries, where the plurality of cache entries include a plurality of level 1 cache entries and a plurality of level 2 cache entries; and an address translation unit, coupled to the at least one translation look-aside buffer, and adapted to translate, based on one of the plurality of level 1 cache entries, a virtual address specified by a translation request into a corresponding translated address, or when the translation request does not hit any one of the plurality of level 1 cache entries, translate, based on one of the plurality of level 2 cache entries, a virtual address specified by the translation request into a corresponding translated address. In embodiments of the present disclosure, a hierarchical search is performed among the plurality of cache entries based on the virtual address specified by the translation request. Therefore, time required by searching for a cache entry in an address translation process is reduced, efficiency, frequency, and performance of a processor are improved, and power consumption is reduced.

Storage management apparatus, storage management method, processor, and computer system

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an instruction processing apparatus, comprising a first register configured to store a source string, wherein the source string comprises at least one byte, and an execution circuitry, communicatively coupled to the first register and configured to execute a comparison instruction to compare the at least one byte in the source string with an ending identifier to obtain a result value corresponding to the source string, wherein the comparison instruction is executed on each of the at least one byte in the source string and the comparison instruction is an assembly code instruction.

Byte comparison method for string processing and instruction processing apparatus

The present invention discloses a memory management unit, an address translation method, and a processor. The memory management unit includes: a translation lookaside buffer adapted to store a plurality of translation entries, where each translation entry includes a size flag bit, a virtual address tag, and a physical address tag, the virtual address tag represents a virtual page, the physical address tag represents a physical page corresponding to the virtual pane, and the size flag bit represents a page size of the virtual page; and a translation processing unit adapted to look up a translation entry whose virtual address tag matches a to-be-translated virtual address in the plurality of translation entries based on the page size represented by the size flag bit of the translation entry, and translate the virtual address into a physical address based on the matching translation entry.

Memory management unit, address translation method, and processor

An apparatus comprises a bulk array of non-volatile memory cells on an integrated circuit die and an arithmetic logic unit on the die coupled to the bulk array. The arithmetic logic unit is operable to perform arithmetic logic operations on contents of the bulk array responsive to instructions received from outside of the die. The non-volatile memory cells may include NAND-type flash memory cells.

System and method for processing large datasets

The present invention discloses a multi-core processor and an inter-core data forwarding method. The multi-core processor includes a plurality of processor cores and a multi-core interconnection bus. The multi-core interconnection bus includes: a plurality of request processing interfaces, each of which is adapted to receive a read data request sent by a coupled processor core, and send the read data request to a request storage unit; and the request storage unit, adapted to receive the read data request sent by the request processing interface, and forward the read data request to another request processing interface, where the request processing interface receives a read data request forwarded by the request storage unit, sends the read data request to the coupled processor core, receives a request result that is returned by the processor core by reading a cache of the processor core, and sends the request result to a request processing interface coupled to a processor core that initiates the request; and receives a request result sent by the another request processing interface, determines valid data based on the received request result, and sends the valid data to the coupled processor core.

Multi-core processor and inter-core data forwarding method

A method and an apparatus includes a terminal device that recognizes a sequence of click operations made by the user according to a maneuver prompted on a terminal device. The sequence of click operations carries operation information from which a click pattern characteristic, such as a characteristic code, can be determined. Upon receiving the determined click pattern characteristic, a server verifies the user input by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server. The click pattern characteristic may be based on recognizing clicking or tapping operations performed by the user at a specified time and/or in a designated area.

Method and apparatus for information verification

Exchanging information via a designated application includes establishing a voice communication link with a client device; sending a launch command associated with a designated application to the client device via the voice communication link, wherein upon receiving the launch command, the client device is caused to launch the designated application; and exchanging information with the client device through the designated application.

Launching a designated application using a set of signals

A method includes receiving information at a base station for a plurality of user equipment, said information including respective data for a plurality of user equipment, said respective data to be transmitted in a same scheduling interval, and causing said respective data to be transmitted in the same scheduling interval.

Methods and apparatus

The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus of account login to solve the problem of low efficiency of account login in existing technologies. A client of the method captures an image of a first credential of a user, recognizes user information of the user that is included in the captured image, includes the recognized user information into a login request, and sends the login request to a server for logging into an account that corresponds to the user information. Through this method, a user does not need to input his/her username when using a client for account login, but perform the account login by directly capturing an image of a first credential using an image capturing device of the client, thus effectively improving the efficiency of account login.

Method and apparatus of account login

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for user verification. A terminal device recognizes a sequence of click operations made by the user according to a maneuver prompted on a terminal device. The sequence of click operations carries operation information from which a click pattern characteristic, such as a characteristic code, can be determined. Upon receiving the determined click pattern characteristic, a server verifies the user input by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server. The click pattern characteristic may be based on recognizing clicking or tapping operations performed by the user at a specified time and/or in a designated area. The method enables user verification on devices that lowers the rate of errors in the user input of verification codes.

Exchanging information via a designated application includes establishing a voice communication link with a client device, sending a launch command associated with a designated application to the client device via the voice communication link, wherein the launch command is configured to cause the designated application to be launched at the client device; and exchanging information with the client device using the designated application, wherein the designated application is configured to receive input information and the input information is received from the client device.
