    摘要: Operating a data distribution including a data distribution module and a plurality of host-bus adapters coupled to the data distribution module can include defining a coherent group that includes a set of members that includes the plurality of host-bus adapters; providing a group-coherent memory area in each of the set of members; and initiating a one-to-all broadcast message from a one of the plurality of host-bus adapters to all of the set of members when the one of the plurality of host-bus adapters requests a write to its local group-coherent memory area. The group-coherent memory area in each of the set of members is physically mirrored with a temporal coherence and no semaphores or access enables are required to achieve the temporal coherence of the coherent group.

    摘要: A multidimensional symbol encoder is coupled to a transmitter. Multidimensional symbols are encoded by concatenating two or more partial symbols, wherein individual intervals of up and down sections of the two or more partial symbols are independently controlled as to duration. A multidimensional symbol decoder is coupled to a receiver. Multidimensional symbols are decoded by measuring duration of individual intervals i) that are independently controlled as to duration and ii) that are up and down sections of two or more concatenated partial symbols.
