Abstract:
A technique to provide well-balanced airflow in a computer data center that uses fan assisted tiles coupled to a host computer through a network. In an example embodiment, this is accomplished by disposing the fan tiles, including temperature and airflow sensors and a programmable switch to provide a Network address, in multiple locations in raised floor and ceiling of the computer data center. Further, the example embodiment includes coupling the fan tiles to the host computer through the network to control the fan tiles based on the feedback received from the temperature and airflow sensors to provide adaptive airflow balancing and thermal management in the computer data center.
Abstract:
A device has an input port to allow the device to receive data. The device also has a parser to parse the data in response to symbols in a parser stack, determine when a symbol is a debug non-terminal symbol, and notify the device via an interrupt. The interrupt causes the device to gather information about the state of the parser at the time of encountering the non-terminal symbol.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention is a processor comprising a direct execution parser configured to control the processing of digital data by semantically parsing data; a plurality of semantic processing units configured to perform data operations when prompted by the direct execution parser; and a plurality of output buffers for buffering data received from the plurality of semantic processing units. Another embodiment of the invention is an interface circuit comprising a packer circuit for receiving data from a semantic processing unit and a plurality of buffers for receiving the data. The interface circuit unloads the data received to an interface.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a lateral FET cell is formed in a body of semiconductor material. The body of semiconductor material includes alternating layers of opposite conductivity type that extend between a trench drain region and a trench gate structure. The trench gate structure controls at least one sub-surface channel region. The body of semiconductor material provides sub-surface drift regions to reduce on resistance without increasing device area.
Abstract:
An EPROM cell includes a control gate and a control transistor. A portion of the control transistor is formed as a portion of the control gate.
Abstract:
A device may emulate target instructions by executing a first set of microinstructions, and may store a base address of a table that includes a microinstruction provided in a second set of microinstructions for emulating the target instructions. The device may also locate the microinstruction based on the stored base address, and emulate one of the target instructions by executing the microinstruction.
Abstract:
Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide efficient packet replication in a router in order to multicast a stream of data. Packets are replicated and processed in a multithreaded environment. Embodiments consistent with the present invention implement a two-stage process for packet replication. The first stage thread will recirculate the packet to multiple second-stage threads. These second-stage threads will then create one or more outgoing copies of the packet. In this way, the copies are handled by multiple threads running in parallel.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and devices that support mobility of a client across a campus, particularly mobility across VLANs and subnets, while preserving the client's assigned IP address. Both layer 2 and layer 3 packets are supported. Mobility support most clearly applies to wireless clients, but could apply to other kinds of mobile connections, even to wired connections. A smart server is adapted to support multiple VLANs and to modify and redirect packets in sessions with a client that moves from one VLAN to another, preserving the client's assigned EP address. Two or more smart servers, in cooperation with a smart manger, modify packets and tunnel them between smart servers when a client that moves from one VLAN to another and from one smart server to another, again preserving the client's assigned IF address. A similar approach applies to support mobility of a client that moves between subnets that are supervised by two smart servers, with the second smart server acting on behalf of the first smart server and tunneling packets back and forth to the first smart server. Particular aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
Abstract:
A system and method for parsing a data stream comprises a production rule table populated with production rules, a parser table populated with production rule codes that correspond to production rules within the production rule table, and a direct execution parser to identify production rule codes in the parser table and to retrieve production rules from the production rule table according to the identified production rule codes, the direct execution parser is operable to parse a data stream according to the retrieved production rules.
