Abstract

Stacked field effect transistor (FET) static random access memory (SRAM) structures, circuits, and associated fabrication methods are presented. Recently there has been an emerging interest in considering stacked field effect transistor static random access memory bit-cell device designs that locate their pass-gate transistors on a top layer. This disclosure provides such designs. In particular, two x-couple implementations are presented that have their pass-gate transistors on a top layer. One implementation locates its x-couple between a top FET and a bottom FET. The other implementation locates its x-couple on the backside of the wafer.

Contextual bandit for replica autoscaling is provided. This includes receiving a scaling request for the application, which comprises a set of component microservices operational on a computing system. Context information, including workload level information for multiple transactions of the application, is received based on the scaling request. Transaction-level predictors are applied to the context information, generating prediction values for a performance indicator associated with the application. A discrete constrained optimization formulation is solved based on these prediction values to generate a diverse solution pool of scaling actions. A scaling action is sampled from this pool, comprising a service replica count for at least one component microservice. Finally, a scaling recommendation is generated, including the respective service replica count for the at least one component microservice.

Abstract

A computer system employs a native cryptographic service provider (CSP) application interface (API) that parses a full cryptographic key token from a non-native CSP API, into a functional key object and a non-functional metadata object. The native CSP API cryptographically links the functional key object and the non-functional metadata object to form a linked object pair representing the full cryptographic key token. In response to a CSP API call, such as a modify key call or a derive key call, the native CSP API generates an updated cryptographically linked object pair by updating at least one of either the cryptographically linked functional key object or the non-functional metadata object of the linked object pair. The native CSP API exports a fully formed modified cryptographic key token based on the updated cryptographically linked object pair.

Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system for question framing evaluation using a vector database. A question is received. A prompt is generated from the question. The prompt, which may be enhanced via RAG or agentic RAG, is converted to an embedding. N embeddings which are closest to the embedding of the prompt are retrieved from the vector database. N is at least 2. The vector database includes multiple embeddings converted from multiple sample questions generated from document chunks by a language model. Each embedding is an embedding of a question relating to a chunk of multiple chunks of one or more documents. N closeness metrics are calculated. Each closeness metric is a measure of a closeness of the prompt to a respective question associated with each embedding. A closeness metric score equal to an average of the N closeness metrics is computed.

Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for identifying and correcting errors in a quantum system. A mixing parameter is applied to each variable node message or check node message of the belief propagation algorithm. Each mixing parameter applied to each variable node message/check node message may be different. The belief propagation algorithm is then run a fixed number of times with multiple sets of mixing parameters. Such mixing parameters may differ between runs of the belief propagation algorithm. After the completion of the runs of the belief propagation algorithm, one of the solutions (a decoded sequence of bits representing an error pattern that most likely generated the observed syndrome) outputted by the belief propagation decoder is selected based on a quality metric, such as the highest probability. In this manner, the belief propagation decoder can reliably decode quantum codes in an inexpensive manner while meeting the real-time requirement.

Abstract

A method comprises reading an input image and an object identified by an object detection model. The method segments the input image into superpixels and generates a perturbed image of the input image. Each perturbation is associated with a superpixel. The object detection model identifies, for each of a set of superpixels, a predicted object. The method calculates a first relevance score for each superpixel based on an intersection over union of the bounding box of the predicted object and the bounding box of the identified object. The method generates, by a linear model, for each superpixel, a weight based on that superpixel and the relevance score of that superpixel. The method adds, to an output image, a superpixel associated with a highest weight. The method calculates a second relevance score for the output image. The method determines whether the second relevance score exceeds a relevance score threshold.

Abstract

An approach is provided for access control management. Experts included in a mixture of experts (MoE) architecture are trained. A router selects a set of experts from the MoE model architecture as having greatest probabilities of being relevant to a data point received at the router. An expert in the set is identified as not having a privilege allowing access to the data point. A masking mechanism masks out the identified expert from the selected set of experts and identifies a previously unselected expert that has a next greatest probability of being relevant to the data point. It is determined that the identified previously unselected expert has the privilege allowing access to the data point. Based on the identified previously unselected expert having the privilege allowing the access to the data point, the identified previously unselected expert is added to the selected set of experts.

Provided are a computer implemented method, system, and processor for decreasing voltage to a processor core based on throttling at the processor core. A first sensor in a processor core generates a first output value based on an operational margin at the processor core. Execution at the processor core is throttled in response to the first output value satisfying a threshold condition. A second sensor in the processor core, operating at an offset margin from when the first sensor operates, generates a second output value based on the operational margin at the processor core. A determination is made of a voltage change based on the second output value. A voltage supplied to the processing unit is modified by the voltage change.

Abstract

Described are techniques for harnessing the waste heat of a spacecraft to transmit data. A heat sink (102) is thermally connected to the spacecraft (101). A heat sink (102) refers to a component used to dissipate heat generated by components, such as electronics of a spacecraft, allowing the heat sink (102) to radiate heat into a space vacuum environment. Furthermore, the system includes a modulation mechanism (105) of the spacecraft (101) connected to the heat sink (102), where the modulation mechanism (105) selectively alters the waste heat thermal radiation (103) emitted from the heat sink (102) according to a signal. The emission of the waste heat thermal radiation (103) from the heat sink (102) at a particular frequency or pattern of pulses is used to encode data. In this manner, data can be transmitted in space in an energy efficient manner by harnessing the waste heat of the spacecraft to transmit data, which otherwise would be lost.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for identifying and prioritizing vulnerability chains in multi-cloud environments. A list of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) associated with a multi-cloud environment is received. Furthermore, vulnerability characteristics used in assessing a security vulnerability's severity are retrieved for respective CVEs in the list of CVEs. Additionally, the retrieved vulnerability characteristics are mapped with the list of CVEs associated with the multi-cloud environment to form a linked list. Such a mapping is used to identify and assess the severity of security vulnerabilities within a multi-cloud environment thereby enabling the prioritization of remediation efforts by understanding the potential impact of each vulnerability based on its characteristics. Upon identifying vulnerability chains in the multi-cloud environment from the linked list, the severity of potential maliciousness and risk of the identified vulnerability chain are assessed, such as via a priority score (e.g., X-Force threat score).

Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for minimizing privileges exposed during workflow execution. A trust companion computing system receives, from an orchestration platform, workflow portion(s) of a workflow for performing a task. The workflow portion(s) have one or more entities that invoke tool(s) to perform sub-tasks of the task. For each tool, the trust companion determines a corresponding credential used to invoke the tool to perform an action on secure backend resources. The corresponding credential corresponds to a reduced size set of privileges, less than a superset of privileges, that are used to perform the action. For each tool, the trust companion requests, from one or more identity providers, a token that provides only the credential having the reduced size set of privileges. The trust companion provides the tokens for each tool in the one or more tools to the corresponding entities. The workflow is executed via the entities using the tokens.

Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for computing noise channels for multi-qubit quantum operations. The learned Lindbladian describing the dynamics of a multi- qubit operation is received. The learned Lindbladian refers to a Lindbladian operator that has been derived or learned from data, such as low-weight observable measurements. The learned Lindbladian is then analyzed, such as using the ideal gate Hamiltonian (Hg) on n qubits, to identify the noise terms. A noise channel is then computed using a perturbative approach based on the identified noise terms. Examples of the perturbation approach include the Mangus expansion or the Dyson expansion. By using such a perturbative method to compute the noise channel, such a computation is performed in a controlled manner which exploits the locality of noise to reduce the complexity yet results in an accurate noise channel that correctly predicts how the physical noise acts on the qubits.
