    摘要: A method and a circuit for implementing single event upset (SEU) parity detection, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. The circuit implements detection of unwanted state changes due to SEUs, noise or other event in a latch having a default state of zero. The latch includes an L1 latch and an L2 latch with the L2 latch having the connected output and is used and monitored for a flip. A pair of series-connected field effect transistors (FETs) is connected between a drive input of a parity control circuit and ground potential. An inverted output of the L1 latch and a true output of the L2 latch is applied to a respective gate of the pair of series-connected FETs.

    摘要: A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing enhanced reliability of memory subsystems utilizing a dual port Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) configuration. The DRAM configuration includes a first buffer and a second buffer, each buffer including a validity counter. The validity counter for a receiving buffer is incremented as each respective data row from a transferring buffer is validated through Error Correction Code (ECC), Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) logic and transferred to the receiving buffer, while the validity counter for the transferring buffer is decremented. Data are read from or written to either the first buffer or the second buffer based upon a respective count value of the validity counters.

    摘要: A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing ECC (Error Correction Codes) redundancy using reconfigurable logic blocks in a computer system. When a fail is detected when reading from memory, it is determined if the incorrect data is in the data or the ECC component of the data. When incorrect data is found in the ECC component of the data, and an actionable threshold is not reached, a predetermined Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) action is taken. When the actionable threshold is reached with incorrect data identified in the ECC component of the data, an analysis process is performed to determine if the ECC logic is faulty. When a fail in the ECC logic is detected, the identified ECC failed logic is replaced with a spare block of logic.

    摘要: A Local Timer Engine (LTE) is disclosed. For an initiator in a computing system, the LTE measures a respective time delay for each of a plurality of routes between the initiator and a plurality of destinations. For each of the plurality of routes, the LTE determines a respective timeout value based on the measured respective time delay for the route and determines a unique memory mapped address identifying the route. The initiator sends a request to the LTE for a timeout value. The LTE determines a proper timeout value and provides the proper timeout value to the initiator.
