摘要:
An output driver has an output multiplexor and an output current driver. The output multiplexor receives a data signal and outputs a q-node signal. The output current 5 river receives the q-node signal and drives a bus based on the q-node signal. The output multiplexor processes the data signal in various ways to generate the q-node signal. The output current driver is responsive to current control bits to select a amount of output drive current. In addition, the output multiplexor is controlled such that the output impedance of the output current driver is maintained within a predetermined range.

A memory system includes a master device, such as a graphics controller or processor, and an integrated circuit memory device operable in dynamic memory bank count and page size mode. The integrated circuit memory device includes a first and second row of storage cells coupled to a row of sense amplifiers including a first and second plurality of sense amplifiers. During the first mode of operation, a first plurality of data is transferred from the first plurality of storage cells to the row of sense amplifiers. During the second mode of operation, a second plurality of data is transferred from the first row of storage cells to the first plurality of sense amplifiers and a third plurality of data is transferred from the second row of storage cells to the second plurality of sense amplifiers. The second and third plurality of data is accessible simultaneously from the memory device interface during the second mode of operation. In an embodiment, the second plurality of data is transferred from the first half of the first row and the third plurality of data is transferred from the second half of the second row.

Systems and techniques for a query-breadth selected search result sorting mechanism are herein described. A search query can be received from a user. A breadth score can be generated for the search query. A sorting mechanism can be selected from a plurality of sorting mechanisms based on the breadth score. Search results can be identified for the query and the selected sorting mechanism can be applied to the search results to produce an ordered set of search results. The ordered set of search results can be presented to the user.
摘要:
A system and method for prioritizing a fetch order of web pages. The method comprises extracting by a web crawler a set of candidate web pages to be crawled. Each web page in the set of candidate web pages is associated with a website in a computer network. A determination is made to determine if a first website score for the website is in a website score database. The first website score is associated with web pages in the set of candidate web pages if the first website score exists in the website score database. The set of candidate web pages is prioritized with respect to an associated website score for each web page in the candidate set of web pages. Content is retrieved from the set of candidate web. Hyperlinks are extracted from the content. The hyperlinks are stored in a memory unit.

A method and circuit for achieving minimum latency data transfer between two mesochronous (same frequency, different phase) clock domains is disclosed. This circuit supports arbitrary phase relationships between two clock domains and is tolerant of temperature and voltage shifts after initialization while maintaining the same output data latency. In one embodiment, this circuit is used on a bus-system to re-time data from receive-domain, clocks to transmit-domain clocks. In such a system the phase relationships between these two clocks is set by the device bus location and thus is not precisely known. By supporting arbitrary phase resynchronization, this disclosure allows for theoretically infinite bus-length and thus no limitation on device count, as well as arbitrary placement of devices along the bus. This ultimately allows support of multiple latency-domains for very long buses.

Apparatus and methods allocate I/O bandwidth of an electrical component, such as an IC, by configuring an I/O interface into various types of interfaces. In an embodiment of the present invention, an I/O interface is configured into either a bi-directional contact, unidirectional contact (including either a dedicated transmit or dedicated receive contact) or a maintenance contact used in a maintenance or calibration mode of operation. The I/O interface is periodically reconfigured to optimally allocate I/O bandwidth responsive to system parameters, such as changing data workloads in the electronic components. System parameters include, but are not limited to, 1) number of transmit-receive bus turnarounds; 2) number of transmit and/or receive data packets; 3) user selectable setting 4) number of transmit and/or receive commands; 5) direct requests from one or more electronic components; 6) number of queued transactions in one or more electronic components; 7) transmit burst-length setting, 8) duration or cycle count of bus commands, and control strobes such as address/data strobe, write enable, chip select, data valid, data ready; 9) power and/or temperature of one or more electrical components; 10) information from executable instructions, such as a software application or operating system; 11) multiple statistics over respective periods of time to determine if using a different bandwidth allocation would result in better performance. The importance of a system parameter may be weighted over time in an embodiment of the present invention.
