    摘要: A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for addressing deficiencies of the art in respect to hypertransport-based switching for multi-CPU systems and for flexibly configurable multi-CPU supported hypertransport switching is provided. The design structure can include a hypertransport switching data processing system. The system can include a CPU and at least two I/O bridges. Each I/O bridge can provide a communications path for data driven to a corresponding peripheral device from the CPU. Notably, the system can include a flexibly configurable hypertransport switch. The switch can include a first configuration adapting the CPU to both of the I/O bridges, and a second configuration adapting the CPU to a first one of the I/O bridges and a second CPU to a second one of the I/O bridges.

    摘要: Roundball is a sports event that is based on the same primitive activity that forms the basis of three other games, namely, basketball, 21st Century Challenge America Basketball Game, and Method for Playing a Basketball-Type Game. The latter two are patented. All four are singular games by virtue of their completely different formats. Roundball games are composed of rounds, like boxing matches; and the winner of the game is the team that accumulates the majority of the points in each of the majority of the rounds. Roundball games will be suspenseful from start to finish, with clear and reasonable results. There is good reason to expect that professional Roundball will become a strong competitor for a share of the multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry market. There is no record of anyone else having conceived the same idea; which is strong empirical evidence that your petitioner is the inventor of Roundball.

    摘要: Method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for operating a plurality of computer nodes while maintaining trust. A primary computer node and at least one secondary computer node are connected into a cluster, wherein each of the clustered computer nodes includes a trusted platform module (TPM) that is accessible to software and includes security status information about the respective computer node. Each clustered computer node is then merged into a single node with only the TPM of the primary computer node being accessible to software. The TPM of the primary computer node is updated to include the security status information of each TPM in the cluster. Preferably, the step of merging is controlled by power on self test (POST) basic input output system (BIOS) code associated with a boot processor in the primary node.
