    摘要: A system and method for controlling a communications adapter interface such that supplemental data can be interleaved with data being transferred. The interleaving is performed in a manner such that the supplemental data is transparent to the data mover portion of the communications adapter. The supplemental data can be transferred in either read or write cycles that are interleaved at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of data bursts or block data transfers. As a result of the interleaving, the slave interface bus is more fully utilized because arbitration and bus ownership changes do not create unused cycles. The interleaving is accomplished by temporarily halting an existing transfer of data and transferring the requested supplemental data while the data transfer is halted. After the supplemental data is transferred, the transfer of the balance of the data block is then allowed to continue. In other words, the present invention "steals" a cycle from the data transferror and uses this cycle to transfer supplemental data.

    摘要: A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for scheduling the servicing of data requests, using the variable latency mode, in an FBDIMM memory sub-system is provided. A scheduling algorithm pre-computes return time data for data connected to DRAM buffer chips and stores the return time data in a table. The return time data is expressed as data return time binary vectors with one bit equal to “1” in each vector. For each received data request, the memory controller retrieves the appropriate return time vector. Additionally, the scheduling algorithm utilizes an updated history vector to determine whether the received request presents a conflict to the executing requests. By computing and utilizing a score for each request, the scheduling algorithm re-orders and schedules the execution of selected requests to preserve as much data bus bandwidth as possible, while avoiding conflict.

    摘要: A method for generating reliability tests for a telephone system is based upon sampling an orthogonal array which covers various combinations of test parameters. Field data is collected of actual telephone activity on a telephone system. The field data is evaluated so as to determine call-mix characteristics. Probabilistic weights for the different call-mix characteristics are obtained, and then the probabilistic weights are used to sample the test case scenarios generated in the orthogonal array which have the same call-mix characteristics. These test case scenarios are used to run tests on the telephone system. These tests are preferably performed using automated test scripts. After the test data is collected, reliability metrics are calculated from the test data.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus decodes the address of a selected destination user in a time-distributed manner thereby allowing a faster bus cycle and providing earlier error detection. The method and system of the present invention provides for the distribution of the address decoding over two bus cycles, rather than one, so that a faster bus cycle is allowed. In addition, the present invention provides address decode circuitry within the bus arbitrator/controller so that address decoding and error detection can be performed in parallel with bus arbitration.
