Speculation in Current Architectures Sample Clauses

Speculation in Current Architectures. While speculative behavior is generally left unspecified in current instruction-set architectures (ISAs), common archi- tectures do provide rudimentary barriers. The x86-64 ISA specifies that the lfence instruction prevents speculative out- of-order execution [16], and Xxx defines speculation barriers, e.g., the SSBB instruction [17]. Furthermore, Xxx proposes architectural extensions to allow software to entirely disable categories of speculation or to keep speculation in one context exclusively [18]. These speculation barriers and mechanisms have provided a crucial handle in ISA specifications that allow software mitigations for transient-execution attacks. However, the lack of general guarantees on speculative execution poses great risks, and will inevitably result in overly conservative hardware and software. Barriers in hardware must prevent all speculation, and these barriers will be used liberally by software to prevent esoteric potentialities, as the ISA provides no other guarantees on behavior in speculation. This conun- drum is similar to memory-consistency models, where lack of specification results in overuse of memory barriers [19]. Memory model specification may at first appear unneces- sary in an ISA, but has been proven to be necessary for portable concurrent algorithms. In the same way, portable, high-performance mitigations of transient-execution attacks require some guaranteed limits on speculation.

  • Unbundled Channelization (Multiplexing) 5.7.1 To the extent NewPhone is purchasing DS1 or DS3 or STS-1 Dedicated Transport pursuant to this Agreement, Unbundled Channelization (UC) provides the optional multiplexing capability that will allow a DS1 (1.544 Mbps) or DS3 (44.736 Mbps) or STS-1 (51.84 Mbps) Network Elements to be multiplexed or channelized at a BellSouth central office. Channelization can be accomplished through the use of a multiplexer or a digital cross-connect system at the discretion of BellSouth. Once UC has been installed, NewPhone may request channel activation on a channelized facility and BellSouth shall connect the requested facilities via COCIs. The COCI must be compatible with the lower capacity facility and ordered with the lower capacity facility. This service is available as defined in NECA 4. 5.7.2 BellSouth shall make available the following channelization systems and interfaces: 5.7.2.1 DS1 Channelization System: channelizes a DS1 signal into a maximum of twenty- four (24)

  • Vaccination and Inoculation ‌ (a) The Employer agrees to take all reasonable precautions to limit the spread of infectious diseases among employees, including in-service seminars for employees. Where the Employer or Occupational Health and Safety Committee identifies high risk areas which expose employees to infectious or communicable diseases for which there are protective immunizations available, such immunizations shall be provided at no cost to the employee. The Committee may consult with the Medical Health Officer. Where the Medical Health Officer identifies such a risk, the immunization shall also be provided at no cost. The Employer shall provide Hepatitis B vaccine, free of charge, to those employees who may be exposed to bodily fluids or other sources of infection. (b) An employee may be required by the Employer, at the request of and at the expense of the Employer, to take a medical examination by a physician of the employee's choice. Employees may be required to take skin tests, x-ray examination, vaccination, and other immunization (with the exception of a rubella vaccination when the employee is of the opinion that a pregnancy is possible), unless the employee's physician has advised in writing that such a procedure may have an adverse effect on the employee's health.

When the recipient is a covered member under this plan, the following services are also covered: • obtaining donated organs (including removal from a cadaver); • donor medical and surgical expenses related to obtaining the organ that are integral to the harvesting or directly related to the donation and limited to treatment occurring during the same stay as the harvesting and treatment received during standard post- operative care; and • transportation of the organ from donor to the recipient. The amount you pay for transplant services, for the recipient and eligible donor, is based on the type of service.
