    摘要: A method for managing remote clients includes retrieving a client version identifier for an application program running on a client. The client version identifier is compared with a master version identifier for a master configuration file on a server. An active configuration of the application program on the client is altered while the application program is running.

    摘要: A memory controller dynamically predicts whether a next memory cycle which is not yet available will result in a page miss or page hit condition. RAS lines are selectively precharged if the next memory cycle is predicted to be a page miss. The memory controller keeps track of various combinations of types of cycles when a type of memory cycle is followed by a type of non-memory pending cycle. For each such combination, the memory controller determines the percentage of combinations which result in a page hit on the next memory cycle. Using this history, the memory controller selectively precharges the RAS lines when a certain combination of types of cycles indicates a percentage of hits is below a predicted threshold. If a number of page hits exceeds the predicted threshold, precharging is not performed.

    摘要: A memory controller which makes maximum use of any processor pipelining and runs a large number of cycles concurrently. The memory controller can utilize different speed memory devices and run each memory device at its desired optimal speed. The functions are performed by a plurality of simple, interdependent state machines, each responsible for one small portion of the overall operation. As each state machine completes its function, it notifies a related state machine that it can now proceed and proceeds to wait for its next start or proceed indication. The next state machine operates in a similar fashion. The state machines responsible for the earlier portions of a cycle have started their tasks on the next cycle before the state machines responsible for the later portions of the cycle have completed their tasks. The memory controller is logically organized as three main blocks, a front end block, a memory block and a host block, each being responsible for interactions with its related bus and components and interacting with the various other blocks for handshaking. The memory controller utilizes differing speed memory devices, such as 60 ns and 80 ns, on an individual basis, with each memory device operating at its full designed rate. The speed of the memory is stored for each 128 kbyte block of memory and used when the memory cycle is occurring to redirect a state machine, accomplishing a timing change of the memory devices.

    摘要: A computer system includes a filter at an interrupt request input for a microprocessor system. The interrupt signal filter suppresses any positive pulse that is shorter than 9 cycles of the host clock. Only signals that are asserted for at least 17 HCLK cycles are guaranteed passage to the interrupt controller to assert the interrupt request. In addition, any negative pulse on the IRQ signal is latched and extended for at least 9 cycles of the host clock. The filter thus suppresses noise to prevent unnecessary interrupts, and provides for enhanced detection of negative levels and rising edges for negative-going interrupt request signals.

    摘要: An apparatus for determining system configuration in a computer system using only one 8 bit data port. Permanent connections on each of the microprocessor and memory boards provide respective configuration and/or memory information about each board. The signals are stored in serial out shift registers associated with each board that are daisy chained together. These shift registers serially transmit the configuration information to one 8 bit data port, which then transmits this information to the computer system in 8 bit increments. If a given slot is empty it is automatically bypassed in the shift register daisy chain.
