    摘要: One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of providing dynamic power redundancy for a system. A number of power supply units, n, that are presently in an up state is tracked. In addition, a number of power supply units, N, that are presently needed to supply power to the system is dynamically determined. If a margin of safety corresponding to a difference between n and N reaches a minimum acceptable level, then action is taken to increase the margin of safety.

    摘要: One embodiment disclosed relates to a microprocessor for targeted fault-tolerant computing. The microprocessor's decode circuitry is configured to decode a fault-tolerant version of an instruction and a non-fault-tolerant version of the instruction distinctly from each other. The microprocessor's execution circuitry is configured to execute the fault-tolerant version of the instruction with redundancy checking and to execute the non-fault-tolerant version of the instruction without redundancy checking.

    摘要: An apparatus for terminating a transmission line includes a terminating circuit coupled to a first connector portion. A second connector portion mates with the first connector portion. The second connector portion is coupled in electrical contact with the transmission line and includes one or more components, such as pins, that can radiate unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) when the transmission line is not terminated. The terminating circuit includes components, such as one or more resistors, that substantially match the impedance of the transmission line. The terminating circuit can also be configured to terminate other conductive lines that can pick up signal noise in a system. The terminating apparatus can be utilized on operational boards that plug into devices such as backplanes or mid-planes. Alternatively, the terminating circuit can be included on a null device or built into the first connector portion.

    摘要: A signal probe includes a tip assembly having a first tip for contacting a first signal node, a second tip for contacting a second signal node, and a tip body for positioning the first tip a distance away from the second tip, the distance corresponding to the spacing between the first and second signal nodes. With the tip body, a technician no longer has to couple a wire between one of the signal nodes and a respective tip to probe the electronic device. Thus, the length of the path that a signal travels from the first signal node to the second signal node may be reduced to increase the accuracy of the signal's measurement.
