    摘要: A parallel computer system includes a plurality of compute nodes. Each of the compute nodes includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and a direct memory address engine coupled to the at least one processor and the at least one memory. The system also includes a network interconnecting the plurality of compute nodes. The network operates a global message-passing application for performing communications across the network. Local instances of the global message-passing application operate at each of the compute nodes to carry out local processing operations independent of processing operations carried out at another one of the compute nodes. The direct memory address engines are configured to interact with the local instances of the global message-passing application via injection FIFO metadata describing an injection FIFO in a corresponding one of the memories. The local instances of the global message passing application are configured to record, in the injection FIFO in the corresponding one of the memories, message descriptors associated with messages of an arbitrary communication pattern in an iteration of an executing application program. The local instances of the global message passing application are configured to replay the message descriptors during a subsequent iteration of the executing application program.

    摘要: The density of components in integrated circuits (ICs) is increasing with time. The density of heat generated by the components is similarly increasing. Maintaining the temperature of the components at reliable operating levels requires increased thermal transfer rates from the components to the IC package exterior. Dielectric materials used in interconnect regions have lower thermal conductivity than silicon dioxide. This invention comprises a heat pipe located in the interconnect region of an IC to transfer heat generated by components in the IC substrate to metal plugs located on the top surface of the IC, where the heat is easily conducted to the exterior of the IC package. Refinements such as a wicking liner or reticulated inner surface will increase the thermal transfer efficiency of the heat pipe. Strengthening elements in the interior of the heat pipe will provide robustness to mechanical stress during IC manufacture.

    摘要: Methods, compute nodes, and computer program products are provided for direct memory access (‘DMA’) transfer completion notification. Embodiments include determining, by an origin DMA engine on an origin compute node, whether a data descriptor for an application message to be sent to a target compute node is currently in an injection first-in-first-out (‘FIFO’) buffer in dependence upon a sequence number previously associated with the data descriptor, the total number of descriptors currently in the injection FIFO buffer, and the current sequence number for the newest data descriptor stored in the injection FIFO buffer; and notifying a processor core on the origin DMA engine that the message has been sent if the data descriptor for the message is not currently in the injection FIFO buffer.

    摘要: A printed circuit board assembly utilizing an elevated track to support signal lines between components is disclosed. The track rests on a plurality of vertical supports, placed amid the components, such that the signal lines can be routed after the components are configured on the board. The vertical supports can be installed at grounding holes already present on the printed circuit board assembly. The track is sufficiently rigid to support bundles of signal lines over long spans between vertical supports. The track can be constructed of the same material as the board, to provide the same ESD and conductivity characteristics as the board, as well as ensure that the track does not contribute to the EMI signature of the board.

    摘要: A method (10) of forming a MIM (metal insulator metal) capacitor is disclosed whereby adverse affects associated with copper diffusion are mitigated even as the capacitor is scaled down. A layer of bottom electrode/copper diffusion barrier material (136) is formed (16) within an aperture (128) wherein the capacitor (100) is to be defined. The bottom electrode layer (136) is formed via a directional process so that a horizontal aspect (138) of the layer (136) is formed over a metal (110) at a bottom of the aperture (128) to a thickness (142) that is greater than a thickness (144) of a sidewall aspect (148) of the layer (136) formed upon sidewalls (132) of the aperture (128). Accordingly, the thinner sidewall aspects (148) are removed during an etching act (18) while some of the thicker horizontal aspect (138) remains. A layer of capacitor dielectric material (150) is then conformally formed (20) into the aperture 128 and over the horizontal aspect (138). A layer of top electrode material (152) is then conformally formed (22) over the layer of capacitor dielectric material (150) to complete the capacitor stack (154).
