Abstract:
A system with a first random access memory (RAM), a second RAM, a first processor coupled to the first RAM and a second processor coupled to the second RAM. The first RAM is configured to store input/output (I/O) completions from at least two engines. The second RAM is also configured to store I/O completions from at least two engines. When all engines are active, the system writes I/O completions from the engines to the first and second RAMs. The first processor processes I/O completions stored in the first RAM. The second processor processes I/O completions stored in the second RAM.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, an initialization extension device may provide an extended initialization period to enable a processor to configure a device, for example, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), prior to entering an operating mode. The device may include a number of control registers that may be configured to default settings in a register initialization period commenced in response to a reset signal. The reset signal may also trigger an extension timer to countdown a timer extended initialization period. During the timer extended initialization period, the processor may write an extension control signal, e.g., an extension bit, to a register. An initialization extension unit may maintain the device in an initialization mode during the timer extended initialization period and/or while the register contains the extension control signal. The processor may configure the control registers for one or more operations the device may perform when it enters the operating mode.

Abstract:
A hub port in a Fibre Channel loop for detecting and bypassing attached node ports in an OLD-PORT state is disclosed. The hub port includes a hub data source, a detect circuits, and an output control circuit. The hub data source supplies data to the hub port from a Fibre Channel loop. The detect circuit is configured to detect a valid non-Arbitrated Loop sequence from an attached node port indicating that the node port is in an OLD-PORT state. The output control circuit operates to bypass the node port from the loop when the valid non-Arbitrated Loop sequence is detected.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method for coal purification and gasification may include steps of heating the coal including various hydrocarbons and harmful substances such as sulfides, phosphates, etc. to 900 to 1200° C. in a coal gasifier; providing a reaction chamber with oxygen and connecting with the coal gasifier; the sulfides, phosphates, etc. in the gasified coal entering the reaction chamber from the coal gasifier and reacting with the oxygen therein; separating mixtures from the reaction chamber to collect hydrocarbons in its fluidized phase; heating the fluidized hydrocarbons; and providing oxygen to react with the gasified form of hydrocarbons to achieve a complete burning of the hydrocarbons.
