    摘要: Isolation of faulty links in a transmission medium including a method that includes receiving an atomic data unit via a multi-link transmission medium that has a plurality of transmission links An error condition is detected and it is determined that the error condition is isolated to a single transmission link. It is determined if the single transmission link has been isolated previously as a failing transmission link a specified number of times within an interval specified by a timer. If the single transmission link has been isolated previously as a failing transmission link a specified number of times within an interval specified by a timer then: identifying the single transmission link as a faulty transmission link; resetting the timer; and outputting an identifier of the single transmission link.

    摘要: Shadow selection logic is used to select a driver bit position as a shadowed driver value, and line drivers to transmit data for the selected driver bit position and the shadowed driver value on separate link segments of a bus. In addition, shadow compare logic is used to compare a selected received value with a shadowed received value from the bus and identify a miscompare in response to a mismatch of the compare Shadow counters are used to count a rate of the miscompare relative to a bus error rate over a period of time. A defective link segment is identified in response to the rate of the miscompare within a predefined threshold of the bus error rate.

    摘要: A dual inline memory module (DIMM) includes a card having a length of about 151.2 to about 151.5 millimeters, a plurality of individual local memory devices attached to the card, and a buffer device attached to the card, the buffer device configured for converting a packetized memory interface. The card includes at least 276 pins configured thereon including a plurality of high-speed bus interface pills arranged on said card for communicating with a plurality of high-speed busses. The high-speed bus interface pins associated with a single high-speed bus are located on one side of the card with respect to a midpoint of the length of the card, thus the pin assignments are defined such that the performance of the DIMM in a system is optimized for high frequency operation.

    摘要: A system, method and storage medium for deriving clocks in a memory system. The method includes receiving a reference oscillator clock at a hub device. The hub device is in communication with a controller channel via a controller interface and in communication with a memory device via a memory interface. A base clock operating at a base clock frequency is derived from the reference oscillator clock. A memory interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a memory multiplier. A controller interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a controller multiplier. The memory interface clock is applied to the memory interface and the controller interface clock is applied to the controller interface.

    摘要: An SMP computer system has an apparatus and method for recalibrating a self-timed, source-synchronous, pipelined interface while the computer system is running. The apparatus allows for quiescing the interface (ie. idling the processors to allow for no data transfers), raising fences (blocking interfaces), allowing for a quick clock centering recalibration step, and then unfencing and unquiescing to allow for the use of the interface again. The recalibration allows for compensating for drift over time on the interface to compensate for temperature, voltage, cycle time, and end-of-life degradation without bringing down and restarting the system.
