摘要： Method and system for routing a network packet received at a port within a network is provided. The method includes (a) generating an index value based on a destination identifier for the network packet; (b) generating one or more physical port numbers based on the index value generated in step (a); wherein each port number identifies a port for sending and receiving network packets; and (c) selecting one of the physical port numbers to route the network packet; wherein the port number is selected based on reaction selector signal that is generated from a partition key table based on a partition key value embedded in the network packet.

摘要： A crossbar structure for use in a multi-processor computer system to connect a plurality of processors to at least one shared resource. The crossbar structure comprises for each processor, a storage location for receiving from a respective processor a memory address of a lock control structure associated with the shared resource. When the processor needs to acquire a lock thereto, the crossbar structure, on behalf of the processor, performs memory operations on the lock control structure at the address specified in the storage location in order to acquire the lock on behalf of the processor.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product specifies a communication intraconnect architecture that supports a pull model based data communication where data is sent to a receiver along with a memory address (a receiver buffer address or a reference to a pool manager or buffer pool) where the data is to be stored. CIA primitives are used to create nodes and dialog objects managed by send and receive IFEs. A logical dialog is established between corresponding send and receive dialog objects. A send dialog object includes a reference that identifies for the send IFE the corresponding receive dialog object in the receive IFE. The receive dialog object includes a reference that identifies for the receive IFE the corresponding send dialog object in the send IFE. Receive and send primitives are used to provide pull model data communication over a logical dialog. Receive with Buffer and Receive with Buffer Pool operations are provided. Multiple, full duplex, reliable virtual circuit connections can be provided for each node. Multiple dialog objects can reference a single node. Multiple outstanding CIA primitive operations are allowed on each dialog. Dialogs can handle byte stream or message oriented data. Dialog operations and features further include scatter and gather support, Early-Far-End and Far-End send classes of service, automatic recurring receive option, partial sends and receives messages with substantially no restrictions on send/rcv lengths, and multiple dialog priorities. A user level management dialog is established to manage establishment of logical dialogs. Various dialog establishment services can be used. Buffer pool and pool manager operations provide address bound checking, buffer pool credits, low water mark notification, and data binding to further optimize data transfer performance.

摘要： An enhanced cache line directory entry includes at least one affinity bit that indicates an affinity for a particular type of cache line ownership. The affinity bit is used to modify a request for a cache line in accordance with the indicated affinity. The affinity bit may represent an affinity for read-only requests, and the affinity bit may represent an affinity for read-write requests. For example, if an I/O affinity bit is in the set state and an I/O device requests a cache line with read-write permission, the request may be converted to a read-only request in accordance with the indicated affinity. As another example, if a processor affinity bit is in the set state and a processor requests a cache line with read-only permission, the request may be converted to a read-write request. Software control of the affinity bits enables system performance to be tuned and cache coherency operations can thereby be reduced.

摘要： In a heterogenous symmetric multi-processing system, processors from distinct families of processors are integrated on a single platform. The processors are coupled to an implementation specific communication mechanism through family specific bus interface converters. Shared memory and I/O subsystems may be coupled to the implementation specific communication mechanism as well. An operating system maintains separate ready queues for each family of processors. Each ready queue is responsible for scheduling execution of process threads on its associated family of processors. The operating systems facilitates execution of both single mode binary code files and mixed mode binary code files. When a thread is created, the operating system determines the initial processor family to associate with the thread based on the binary code stream that the thread will begin executing. The thread is placed in the ready queue of that family. As the thread executes it may require services from another family of processors in order to natively execute the next set of instructions in the binary code file. When services are required, the operating system reschedules those instructions on a processor which executes those instructions natively. Means are provided to return the thread to a processor in the previous family of processors in order to support mixed mode instruction stream subroutine support.

摘要： A configurable semiotic decision making system and method is provided. The system has a sensor for sensing input data. A generic semiotic module is used for semiotic processing of the data. The module has configurable dyadic and triadic operating modes. An allocatable memory stores knowledge base data generated in conjunction with semiotic processing by the generic semiotic module when the module processes data in a selected dyadic or triadic configured mode. The configurable operating modes of the generic semiotic module each have a specified data input, semiotic processing type, knowledge base memory allocation and output. One operating mode has the sensor as its data input and is configured for dyadic processing of said sensed data.

摘要： A semiotic decision making system processes a training corpus of information in the form of sequential sets of elements to create a database which is thereafter used to make decisions relating to queries input in the same type of elements. Sets of sequential elements of a training corpus are received. Ordered pairs of sequential elements and ordered pairs are identified. The ordered pairs include element/element, pair/element, element/pair and pair/pair ordered pairs, in a recursive semiotic process based on the statistical occurrence of element sequences in the training corpus sets whereby each ordered pair represents an n sequential element subset of a training corpus set defined by a set of nested ordered pairs. Constituent sets of ordered pairs and elements are identified for the training corpus sets. Each constituent set for a given training corpus set of n sequential elements has 2n−1 members including representations of each sequential element of the training corpus set and a set of nested subsets of ordered pairs where each sequential training corpus set element is included in one of said ordered pairs. Database records are created corresponding to the identified constituent sets.
