Abstract:
A system and method for detecting errors in high-speed asymmetric interfaces are described. Embodiments include transmitting digital data between a first system component and a second system component over a bidirectional interface, wherein the first component is significantly more intelligent than the second component. The first component receives a signature from the second component over a line of the interface concurrent with READ and WRITE operations over the interface. The latency associated with transmission of a signature from the second component to the first component is the time taken for the second component to compute a signature. The signature received is compared to a signature stored by the first component. Both signatures correspond to a particular READ or WRITE command. Based on the comparison, the first component determines whether the READ or WRITE operation was successful, and directs the second component as necessary.
Abstract:
An asymmetrical IO method and system are described. In one embodiment, a host device includes shared resources for data synchronization of the host device and a client device. The shared resources include a shared phase interpolator. In an embodiment, data lines between the host and client are also used to transmit phase information from the client device to the host device, obviating the need for additional, dedicated lines or pins.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data in a memory interface are disclosed. The apparatus include a programmable transceiver having a variable duty cycle control, with the transceiver having at least one of a programmable variable duty cycle receiver and a programmable variable duty cycle transmitter. The receiver and the transmitter are both responsive to variable duty cycle control data and operate to vary a duty cycle of one of incoming and outgoing data. By providing programmability to the data duty cycle, the transceiver can optimally accommodate different memory device standards.

Abstract:
A bipolar electrode comprises an intermediate layer comprising one or more carbon materials. The bipolar electrode further comprises first and second layers disposed on opposite surfaces of the intermediate layer and configured to act as an anode and a cathode. The first and second layers comprise at least one of one or more electrically conductive carbon materials and one or more conductive polymers. A supercapacitor desalination device and a method for making the bipolar electrode are also presented.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for selectively activating a resume check operation in a single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processing system. A processor is described that is configured to selectively enable or disable a resume check operation for a particular instruction based on information included in the instruction that indicates whether a resume check operation is to be performed for the instruction. A compiler is also described that is configured to generate compiled code which, when executed, causes a resume check operation to be selectively enabled or disabled for particular instructions. The compiled code may include one or more instructions that each specify whether a resume check operation is to be performed for the respective instruction. The techniques of this disclosure may be used to reduce the power consumption of and/or improve the performance of a SIMD system that utilizes a resume check operation to manage the reactivation of deactivated threads.
