An apparatus includes a destination edge device configured to receive a first validation packet according to a switch fabric validation protocol. The destination edge device is configured to validate multiple data paths through a distributed switch fabric from a source edge device to the destination edge device based on the first validation packet. The destination edge device is configured to send, in response to receiving the first validation packet, a second validation packet to a peripheral processing device. The destination edge device is also configured to send the second validation packet according to a validation protocol different from the first validation protocol.

Methods for screening for agents that modulate the activation state, i.e., active growth or persistence, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), methods of treating an Mtb infection in a subject using agents identified by the screening methods, and methods for screening for a latent Mtb infection in a subject are disclosed. The screening methods involve contacting a Mtb sensor kinase with an agent to be tested, then detecting the response of the Mtb sensor kinase to modulating ligands or detecting changes in the oxidation state of the heme iron of the Mtb sensor kinase. The methods for treating an Mtb infection in a subject involve administering a therapeutically effective amount of an agent identified by the screening methods. The methods for screening for a latent Mtb infection in a subject involve detecting carbon monoxide or nitric oxide binding to heme iron of Mtb sensor kinases.

A method is provided to protect against ill-behaved microcode by balancing between an actual occurrence of a hardware problem and a microcode bug setting a flag appearing as a hardware problem. In this method, the error recovery is performed only on a single piece of hardware and no further error recovery action is taken on other pieces of similar hardware. The approach addresses the problem by treating a hit on one card as a hardware problem, but as a bug on subsequent cards. The invention keeps track of whether or not the same event has occurred on the same type of hardware so not to take action on more than one instance of the hardware. Subsequent hits on another instance of the hardware will not trigger the hardware related recovery on additional hardware.

A four stage branch instruction resolution system for a pipelined processor is disclosed. A first stage of the branch instruction resolution system predicts the existence and outcome of branch instructions within an instruction stream such that an instruction fetch unit can continually fetch instructions. A second stage decodes all the instructions fetched. If the decode stage determines that a branch instruction predicted by the first stage is not a branch instruction, the decode stage flushes the pipeline and restarts the processor at a corrected address. The decode stage verifies all branch predictions made by the branch prediction stage. Finally, the decode stage makes branch predictions for branches not predicted by the branch prediction stage. A third stage executes all the branch instructions to determine a final branch outcome and a final branch target address. The branch execution stage compares the final branch outcome and final branch target address with the predicted branch outcome and predicted branch target address to determine if the processor must flush the front-end of the microprocessor pipeline and restart at a corrected address. A final branch resolution stage retires all branch instructions. The retirement stage ensures that any instructions fetched after a mispredicted branch are not committed into permanent state.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for distributed mobile enterprise application platform (MEAP) are described herein. In one aspect, the method includes receiving a request to be executed from a mobile device. Based upon the request, one or more middleware components capable of executing the request are determined from one or more remotely located servers. A middleware component from the one or more middleware components is selected for executing the request. The request is sent to the selected middleware component for execution. Based upon the execution, an output is received from the selected middleware component. In one embodiment, the output is stored in a backend system or sent to a portable device from which the request is received. In another embodiment, the output is sent to another middleware component for further execution.

An apparatus includes a replication engine of a switch module of a multi-stage switch. The replication engine is configured to receive a first validation packet from an input port of the switch module. The replication engine is configured to determine multiple output ports of the switch module to which a data packet can be sent to reach a destination device associated with the first validation packet. The replication engine is configured to define multiple second validation packets based on a number of output ports from the multiple output ports such that each second validation packet from the multiple second validation packets is uniquely associated with an output port from the multiple output ports. The replication engine is configured to send the multiple second validation packets to an output module configured to forward each second validation packet from the multiple second validation packets to its associated output port.
