摘要:
A method and system for reducing memory accesses by inserting qualifiers in control blocks. In one embodiment, a system comprises a processor configured to process frames of data. The processor may comprise a plurality of buffers configured to store frames of data where each frame of data may be associated with a frame control block. Each frame control block associated with a frame of data may be associated with one or more buffer control blocks. Each control block, e.g., frame control block, buffer control block, may comprise one or more qualifier fields that comprise information unrelated to the current control block. Instead, qualifiers may comprise information related to an another control block. The last frame control block in a queue as well as the last buffer control block associated with a frame control block may comprise fields with no information thereby reducing memory accesses to access information in those fields.

A method, system and computer program product for performing an expansion of a disk array. Upon the failure of a disk in the disk array, the failed disk may be rebuilt stripe by stripe in the spare units distributed among other disks in the disk array. Upon repairing or replacing the failed disk with a spare disk, the repaired or spare disk may be rebuilt stripe by stripe using the data from the spare units. Upon receiving a write request to a stripe unit that has been rebuilt in the repaired or spare disk during expansion, the data of the request may be written in the stripe unit requested. Further, the data written may be mirrored, i.e., copied and stored, in the spare unit corresponding to the stripe unit requested. By mirroring the data to the corresponding spare unit, tracking each stripe that was updated during expansion may be eliminated.

The present invention relates to fusion molecules composed of human interleukin-3 (hIL-3) variant or mutant proteins (muteins) functionally joined to a second colony stimulating factor (CSF), cytokine, lymphokine, interleukin or IL-3 variant. These hIL-3 variants contain amino acid substitutions and may also have amino acid deletions at both the N- and C-termini. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the fusion molecules and methods for using them.

One embodiment of the present invention is a method for generating patterned features on a substrate that includes: (a) forming a first layer on at least a portion of a surface of the substrate, the first layer comprising at least one layer of a first material, which one layer abuts the surface of the substrate; (b) forming a second layer of a second material on at least a portion of the first layer, which second layer is imprinted with the patterned features; (c) removing at least portions of the second layer to extend the patterned features to the first layer; and (d) removing at least portions of the first layer to extend the patterned features to the substrate; wherein the first layer and the second layer may be exposed to an etching process that undercuts the patterned features, and the first material may be lifted-off.
摘要:
A method and system for reducing latency of a snoop tenure. A bus macro may receive a snoopable transfer request. The bus macro may determine which snoop controllers in a system will participate in the snoop transaction. The bus macro may then identify which participating snoop controllers are passive. Passive snoop controllers are snoop controllers associated with cache memories with cache lines only in the shared or invalid states of the MESI protocol. The snoop request may then be completed by the bus macro without waiting to receive responses from the passive participating snoop controllers. By not waiting for responses from passive snoop controllers, the bus macro may be able to complete the snoop request in a shorter amount of time thereby reducing the latency of the snoop tenure and improving performance of the system bus.

Disclosed are novel multi-functional chimeric hematopoietic receptor agonist proteins, DNAs which encode the multi-functional chimeric hematopoietic receptor agonist proteins, methods of making the multi-functional chimeric hematopoietic receptor agonist proetiens and methods of using the multi-functional chimeric hematopoietic receptor agonist proteins.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for compressing a reference pattern (RP) with repeated substrings by encoding produce compressed reference patterns (CRPs) with reduce storage requirements. Operation codes and a flag are stored with the CRPs. During comparison of reference elements of the CRP to input elements (IEs) of an input pattern (IP), the operation codes are read and the reference pattern is decoded allowing all reference elements including those of the repeated substrings to be compared to IEs in the IP to determine if the RP appears within the IP.
摘要:
A method, system and computer program product for dynamically sharing a limited supply of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses among a larger number of servers. A manager coupled between the Internet and a plurality of servers may receive a request for an IP address associated with a domain name from a client coupled to the Internet. The manager may be configured to map the domain name into an IP address assigned to the server hosting the web site of the domain name. Each assigned IP address may be valid only for a limited time. Once the time the assigned IP address is valid has expired, the assigned IP address may be returned to the pool of available IP addresses thereby allowing a smaller number of IP addresses to be dynamically shared among a larger number of servers.
