摘要： A connection controller for a serial bus network includes physical layer processing circuitry for performing the protocol of the physical layer of the network to establish communications with first, second and third nodes. The first node is specified as an initiator node and the second node is a target node of the first node. The physical layer processing circuitry is energized by power supplied from the first node. To reliably establish connections between desired nodes in a first-to-win racing environment, a delay time is introduced in response to the physical layer processing circuitry being energized. During the delay time, a logical connection is established between the first and second nodes and the third node is set in a disabled state.

摘要： A triology of methods to send, receive and execute are provided for JAVA process objects on client and server so that instance variables, rather than objects, can be transferred from/to client and server. In that manner, process objects at the server can be instantiated with instance variables from the client without object transfer. The system enables use of non-JAVA process objects at the server to perform functions at the request of a JAVA client.

摘要： A form for displaying an electronic message item includes an information object that highlights important information about the message. Test properties are defined based on the message type. The information displayed in the information object is automatically derived by examining message properties corresponding to the defined test properties. The examination of the message properties includes applying a series of if-then statements to predetermined message properties. If the results of one or more of the if-then tests are true, the program composes one or more information items that reflect the state of the message item. The program will also examine data external to the message item. The information items are composed in a natural language format and are prioritized prior to being displayed in the information object.

摘要： An interprocessor communication device, in which a plurality of processors are interconnected to processor buses for an address signal, a data signal, and a control signal, receiving/outputting handshake signals for transmitting/receiving a message to/from an adjacent processor. A plurality of memory blocks are connected to memory buses for an address signal, a data signal, and a control signal and stores/outputs data upon input of an address signal and a control signal. A rotation bus interface module, connected between the processor buses and the memory buses, switches the memory buses connected to the processor buses in response to handshake signals received from two adjacent processors to allow the processors exclusively to access the memory blocks.

摘要： The present invention is a standardized host-to-switch application program interface (API) for performing call control processing, capable of being customized to meet telecommunications application and network signalling protocol requirements. The universal API comprises one or more generic messages having programmable fields for transmitting commands, status, and data between the host application and the switch. The present invention further comprises a programmable telecommunication switch that provides a user with the ability to define a desired API protocol, either “standard” or custom in nature, for performing any desired switching functions. The present invention includes a protocol development environment which enables a user to define a separate finite state machine for each port provided by the switch. Each finite state machine may be independently defined by combining a series of elementary processing steps, called atomic functions, into primitives, which are in turn combined with states and events to define the desired state machine. Such state machines may include atomic functions configured to generate predetermined messages under predetermined conditions and containing predetermined information. Such state machines may further include the ability to respond to state events that include the receipt of generic API messages configured to provide the state machine with information from the host application.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for navigating through electronically stored information using an expandable, hierarchical index or TOC, in a hypertextual client-server network environment such as the World Wide Web. The client-server network comprises at least one client computer coupled by network link to at least one server computer. In accordance with the invention, a publisher of the TOC provides to the server a digital specification of the TOC, defining the TOC as a plurality of hierarchically related nodes. In a preferred feature of the invention, the digital specification includes a unique name, a display label, and a hierarchial level for each node of the TOC, and an optional target URL for each leaf node of the TOC. Using a browser program or the like at the client computer, an end-user transmits a network request including an address path to the server. Upon receiving the network request, and based upon the address path and the digital specification, the server dynamically generates a network page specifying display of a hierarchical portion of the TOC entries. This network page is transmitted from the server to the client, for display to the end-user. In another feature of the present invention, when the server dynamically generates the network page, it assignes a path address as a hypertextual link for one or more of the TOC nodes in the hierarchical portion of the TOC to be displayed. The path address specifies a modified display status for the TOC entries that are hierarchical descendants of the at least one TOC entry. In this way, the present invention can preferably be used to provide an interactively expandable TOC in a client-server environment. When an end-user, utilizing a browser of the client, interactively selects one of the currently displayed TOC nodes, the assigned hypetextual link will automatically be transmitted to the server as part of a new network request, and will cause the server to dynamically generate a new network page specifying a modified display status for TOC nodes that are hierarchical descendants of the selected node, thus effectively expanding or contracting the TOC hierarchy beneath the selected node. In this way, the TOC hierarchy can interactively be expanded or contracted in an incremental fashion, with the current display state of the TOC being represented in portions of each hypertext path address.

摘要： A mechanism for inter-process communication (IPC) redirection is defined that enables flexible and dynamic management of IPC paths. In some cases, it is desirable to interpose a process on a communication channel. There are a number of uses of such interposition, ranging from auditing communication to capturing requests for a debugger to authorizing operations expressed in the communication. Prior IPC mechanisms typically do not enable dynamic and flexible interposition. Either interposition is ingrained in the process identity or is done in an ad hoc manner (e.g., by inserting code into the kernel). An IPC mechanism is defined that enables a communication from a source to a destination to be arbitrarily redirected. Services, called redirection controllers, are defined that are able to specify the redirections for IPC paths. Redirections may be set up dynamically because the redirection data is not dependent on permanent information like the process identifier, but rather, they are left to the discretion of the redirection controllers.

摘要翻译： 定义了一种进程间通信（IPC）重定向机制，可实现对IPC路径的灵活和动态管理。 在某些情况下，最好在一个通信通道上插入一个进程。 这种插入有许多用途，从审计通信到捕获调试器的请求到授权在通信中表达的操作。 先前的IPC机制通常不能实现动态和灵活的插入。 任何插入在进程标识中根深蒂固，或者以ad hoc方式（例如，通过将代码插入到内核中）完成。 定义了IPC机制，使得能够任意地重定向从源到目的地的通信。 定义了称为重定向控制器的服务，可以指定IPC路径的重定向。 可以动态地设置重定向，因为重定向数据不依赖于诸如进程标识符的永久信息，而是由重定向控制器决定。

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for releasing functional units in a multithreaded very large instruction word (VLIW) processor. The functional unit release mechanism can retrieve the capacity lost due to multiple cycle instructions. The functional unit release mechanism of the present invention permits idle functional units to be reallocated to other threads, thereby improving workload efficiency. Instruction packets are assigned to functional units, which can maintain their state, independent of the issue logic. Each functional unit has an associated state machine (SM) that keeps track of the number of cycles that the functional unit will be occupied by a multiple-cycle instruction. Functional units do not reassign themselves as long as the functional unit is busy. When the instruction is complete, the functional unit can participate in functional unit allocation, even if other functional units assigned to the same thread are still busy. The functional unit release approach of the present invention allows the functional units that are not associated with a multiple-cycle instruction to be allocated to other threads while the blocked thread is waiting, thereby improving throughput of the multithreaded VLIW processor. Since the state is associated with each functional unit separately from the instruction issue unit, the functional units can be assigned to threads independently of the state of any one thread and its constituent instructions.

摘要翻译： 公开了用于释放多线程超大指令字（VLIW）处理器中的功能单元的方法和装置。 功能单元释放机构可以检索由于多个循环指令而导致的容量损失。 本发明的功能单元释放机构允许将空闲功能单元重新分配给其他线程，从而提高工作效率。 指令包被分配给功能单元，它们可以保持其状态，而与发行逻辑无关。 每个功能单元具有关联的状态机（SM），其跟踪功能单元将被多周期指令占用的周期数。 只要功能单元繁忙，功能单元就不会自动重新分配。 指令完成后，即使分配给同一线程的其他功能单元仍然忙，功能单元也可以参与功能单元分配。 本发明的功能单元释放方法允许在阻塞的线程等待时将不与多周期指令相关联的功能单元分配给其他线程，从而提高多线程VLIW处理器的吞吐量。 由于状态与指令发布单元分开地与每个功能单元相关联，所以功能单元可以独立于任何一个线程的状态及其组成指令分配给线程。
