摘要： A system for pre-fetching a data frame from a system memory to a cache memory includes a processor, a queue manager, and a pre-fetch manager. The processor issues a de-queue request associated with the data frame. The queue manager receives the de-queue request, identifies a frame descriptor associated with the data frame, and generates a pre-fetch hint signal. The pre-fetch manager receives the pre-fetch hint signal and generates a pre-fetch signal and enables the cache memory to pre-fetch the data frame. Subsequently, the queue manager de-queues the frame descriptor. The processor receives the frame descriptor and reads the data frame from the cache memory.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed that uses an arithmetic circuit for adding numbers represented in redundant form to subtract numbers received in redundant form, including numbers received from a bypass circuit. The method includes generating a complemented redundant form of at least one number supplied to the arithmetic circuit in redundant form. It also includes providing an adjustment input to the arithmetic circuit to augment a result produced through the arithmetic circuit to generate a valid outcome in redundant form of a subtraction operation. A carry-save adder structure is used in one preferred embodiment of the current invention to perform a subtraction operation A−B, where B is a number represented by one of its valid carry-sum redundant representations. In order to perform the subtraction operation, each of the carry bits and each of the sum bits in a redundant representation of B are complemented and supplied to the carry-save adder. Then a result is corrected by adding an adjustment of three. This adjustment value is incorporated into the result through the carry-save adder circuit. Thus the circuit produces a valid redundant representation for the subtraction operation A−B.

摘要： A low friction non-gaussian surface is disclosed which has a positive skewness value and a kurtosis value of three or greater which minimizes static and kinetic friction and resultant wear in any instance of at least two surfaces in moving contact, including machine and computer components, magnetic media, and read/write heads which contact magnetic media. In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic media having an optimal non-gaussian surface roughness and method of surface parameter selection utilizes non-gaussian probability density functions in a contact model which accounts for the effects of roughness distribution and liquid film meniscus forces to determine optimum skewness and kurtosis values which minimize static and kinetic friction. The invention provides a magnetic media or other article of manufacture with a surface which has a positive skewness value and as high a kurtosis value as possible which minimizes or reduces static and kinetic friction and wear upon contact with another surface which may also be surface configured in accordance with the invention.

摘要： A ring-style, multi-stage VCO of a phase lock loop circuit includes two or more differential amplifier stages. The phase lock loop includes a lowpass filter connected between a control voltage terminal and a voltage-to-current converter stage, which includes a first source-follower MOS transistor M1 with a source resistor R1 and a second diode-connected MOS transistor M2 connected to its drain terminal. A differential amplifier stage includes a current-source MOS transistor M10 having a gate terminal connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor M1 to current mirror the drain current of M1. The differential amplifier stage also includes a pair of MOS transistors M4 and M5 connected to the drain terminal of the current-source MOS transistor M10. The gate terminal of MOS transistor M4 is an IN terminal and the gate terminal of MOS transistor M5 is an IN.sub.-- terminal. The drain terminal of MOS transistor M4 provides an OUT.sub.-- signal for the differential amplifier stage and the drain terminal of MOS transistor M5 provides an OUT signal for the differential amplifier stage. A MOS transistor M6 forms a load impedance for MOS transistor M4 and a MOS transistor M7 forms a load impedance for MOS transistor M5. The gate terminals of M6 and M7 are connected to the voltage control input terminal of the phase lock loop.
