    摘要: Disclosed here are systems and methods to enable configuration of functional components in integrated circuits. A present invention system and method can flexibly change the operational characteristics of functional components in an integrated circuit die based upon a variety of factors including manufacturing defects, compatibility characteristics, performance requirements, and system health (e.g., the number of components operating properly). Functional component operational behavior is tested and analyzed at various levels of configuration abstraction and component organization (e.g., topological inversion analysis). The testing and analysis can be performed in parallel on numerous functional components. Functional component configuration related information is presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) at various levels of granularity and in real time.; The graphical user interface can facilitate user interaction in recognizing failure patterns, production test tuning and field configuration algorithm adjustment. The testing and analysis information can also be organized in a variety of convenient database formats.

    摘要: A novel method and apparatus for providing a decoupled power management state. The present invention decouples the operating system's perspective of the power management state from that of the actual hardware state of a host resource. Namely, the resources (230) of a host computer (100) can still operate and provide functionality while the host operating system (220) is "off", while still providing power saving to the host system and user.

    摘要: Systems and methods for balancing a load among multiple graphics processors that render different portions of a frame. A display area is partitioned into portions for each of two (or more) graphics processors. The graphics processors render their respective portions of a frame and return feedback data indicating completion of the rendering. Based on the feedback data, an imbalance can be detected between respective loads of two of the graphics processors. In the event that an imbalance exists, the display area is re-partitioned to increase a size of the portion assigned to the less heavily loaded processor and to decrease a size of the portion assigned to the more heavily loaded processor.

    摘要: A multiple network protocol encoder/decoder comprising a network protocol layer (101), data handler (102), O.S. State machine (104), and memory manager (103) state machines implemented at a hardware gate level. Network packets are received from a physical transport level mechanism by the network protocol layer state machine (101) which decodes network protocols such as TCP, IP, user Data Protocol (UDP), PPP, and Raw Socket concurrently as each byte is received. Each protocol handler parses and strips header information immediately from the packet, requiring no intermediate memory. The resulting data are passed to the data handler (102) which consists of data state machines (104) that decode data formats such as email, graphics, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Java, and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Each data state machine (104) reacts accordingly to the pertinent data, and any data that are required by more than one data state machine (104) is provided to each state machine concurrently, and any data required more than once by a specific data state machine, are placed in a specific memory location (206) with a pointer designating such data; thereby ensuring minimal memory usage. Resulting display data are immediately passed to a display controller (205). Any outgoing network packets are created by the data state machines and passed through the network protocol state machine which adds header information and forwards the resulting network packet via a transport level mechanism.

    摘要: Systems and methods for identifying defective pixels and adjusting an input to control display of the defective pixels may improve the quality of the image viewed on a flat panel display including one or more defective pixels. The screen position of each defective pixel is identified and stored. Adjustment information is also stored for each defective pixel. The adjustment information is used to modify a stored color value for each defective pixel or to disable one or more color components of each defective pixel prior to displaying an image on a flat panel display device including the defective pixels.

    摘要: A computer system utilizes subsystem supplemental memory resources to implement operating system supplemental disk caching. A main system processor (e.g., a central processing unit) processes information associated with main system functions. A bulk memory (e.g., a hard disk) stores the information. A main system memory (e.g., a main RAM) caches portions of the bulk information. A subsystem supplemental memory (e.g., a graphics subsystem RAM) provides storage capacity for subsystem operations (e.g., graphics operations) and supplemental storage for portions of said bulk information associated with main system functions (e.g., functions performed by the main system processor). Information (e.g., main system information) cached in the subsystem supplemental memory can be accessed by the main system processor directly.
