摘要:
The invention is directed to a system and related method of allocating power in a rack mounted computer system where the individual servers are powered from a central power supply system. The structure includes a series of serial communication pathways coupling the servers and the individual power supplies in the power supply system. A series of chassis communication modules communicates with servers in its respective chassis, and relays messages to and from a power supply communication module, which is responsible for granting or denying permission for individual servers to allocate power. The disclosed system also envisions intelligent de-allocation of power, for example in the event of a failure of individual components of the central power supply system.

The described invention is directed to a system and related method for updating software in multiple remote communication devices where those communication devices are accessible only by relatively low bandwidth communication buses, which buses make the individual transfer of each software image prohibitive. The disclosed invention further envisions shrinking the size of the image to be transferred by Huffman encoding that image on the initiating end and decoding that Huffman encoded image on the receiving end using a frequency table for Huffman encoding that was previously established. In this way, the transferred image need not include the frequency table, thus making the overall transfer smaller.

A method of protecting data in a computer system against attack from viruses and worms comprising; modifying micro-code of a processor of system to be protected to remove homogeneity between processors from a manufacturer; modifying op-codes of an application to match modified micro-code of the processor prior to execution.
摘要:
This invention identifies two approaches for reducing stress on non-volatile memory cells subject to excessive read/write operations. The first approach involves modifying the operating system code to apply a deterministic process to identifying memory locations based on collected metrics and reprogramming the memory management unit. The second approach involves augmenting an existing memory management unit (MMU) with capability to automatically move physical addresses based on the number of accesses made to locations within a locality, memory page or memory block.

A computer system includes a first storage device, a backup storage device, and a system controller. The first storage device has a default operating system and a customized operating system stored therein. The backup storage device has at least archived configuration data stored therein. The system controller is adapted to replace the customized operating system with a restored operating system that is based on the default operating system. A method for restoring a computer system includes providing a first storage device having a default operating system stored therein. A backup storage device is provided having at least configuration data stored therein. The configuration data is transferred to the first storage device.

A method of enforcing software license protection in a computer system comprising; morphing the data prior to distribution, resulting in morphed data; wherein morphing of data is accomplished by applying a reversible morphing algorithm to modify data, wherein said reversible morphing algorithm is uniquely seeded and/or controlled with control information.

摘要:
A method for modifying the frequency of a clock signal includes the steps of producing a clock signal having voltage pulses which occur at a first frequency and producing a control signal having voltage pulses which occur at a lower frequency. The frequency of the voltage pulses in the control signal is incremented in successive time intervals and the clock signal and control signal are combined such that one voltage pulse in the clock signal is deleted for each voltage pulse in the control signal. This results in a modified clock signal having a frequency which may be ramped up or down depending upon the initial frequency of the control signal and the direction in which the frequency of the control signal is incremented.
