摘要： The present invention reveals a method for manufacturing identification codes of integrated circuit. A number of the test machine, a serial number and a period of time ahead of loading a test pattern are written into an integrated circuit in the process of testing as the identification code. Thus, the identification codes of each integrated circuit of normal lot, re-testing lot and quality control lot is distinct to avoid the problems caused by repetitive identification codes.

摘要： A method of changing the operating system in a computer system by using an address offset mode (AOM) feature for the address space of a hard disk drive connected to the computer system. Initialization of the computer loads the first operating system (OS) from a user area in the disk drive address space. An enable AOM command offsets the disk drive address space and reinitializes the computer to load a second OS from a reserve space in the disk drive address space. A command setting the maximum size of the address space of the hard disk drive provides a wrap around feature allowing the entire address space of the disk drive to be addressable for diagnostics or updating purposes. The computer is returned to operation with the first OS by a disable AOM command, or alternatively, by a power on reset, a software reset or a hardware reset. The method of changing operating systems is coded in the hard disk drive and does not require additions or modifications to the memory or the BIOS ROM of the computer system.

摘要： A method and system for providing basic command functionality and expanded command functionality between a plurality of devices in a network. When a first device is coupled to a home audio video network which includes a second device, a generic control module for the first device is generated by the second device. The generic control module is a basic abstraction of the capabilities of the first device. The generic control module enables the first device to respond to a basic set of commands from the second device. The second device then uses the generic control module to obtain descriptive information from the first device. The descriptive information describes the capabilities of the first device. The second device then generates a parameterized control module for the first device by modifying the generic control module based upon the descriptive information. The second device is then able to access the first device via the parameterized control module. The parameterized control module enables the first device to respond to an expanded set of commands from the second device.

摘要： The present invention utilizes a “virtual” condition code (VCC) which can control the instruction sequence in a microprocessor. The virtual condition code is stored in an internal, non-architected register that is not visible to the programmer, but is used by various microprocessor instructions to determine when a branch is to be taken. For example, the virtual condition code can be used as a condition for branching out of a series of repetitive instructions. The virtual condition code (VCC) can eliminate a portion of the processing overhead used when determining whether a sequential number, such as a count value in a register associated with a repetitive instruction, e.g. a LOOP, is zero. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a LOOP instruction will decrement a count value in a register (to maintain compatibility with the ISA). However, a corresponding branch instruction will use the virtual condition code, rather than checking the contents of the entire register, to determine whether or not to branch. In this manner, the present invention improves performance by minimizing the amount of hardware resources (i.e. compare logic) utilized while maintaining compatibility with the Intel architecture since the programmer visible condition code is not used. By leaving the programmer visible condition codes unchanged, the software is not forced to save and restore the register contents during each iteration.

摘要翻译： 本发明利用可以控制微处理器中的指令序列的“虚拟”条件码（VCC）。 虚拟条件代码存储在程序员不可见的内部非架构寄存器中，但由各种微处理器指令用于确定何时采用分支。 例如，虚拟条件代码可以用作从一系列重复指令中分支出来的条件。 虚拟条件码（VCC）可以在确定诸如与重复指令相关联的寄存器中的计数值（例如，重复指令）中的计数值是否等顺序号时，消除所使用的处理开销的一部分。 一个LOOP，为零。 根据本发明的一个方面，LOOP指令将递减寄存器中的计数值（以保持与ISA的兼容性）。 但是，相应的分支指令将使用虚拟条件代码，而不是检查整个寄存器的内容，以确定是否分支。 以这种方式，本发明通过最小化所使用的硬件资源（即比较逻辑）的数量来提高性能，同时维持与Intel架构的兼容性，因为不使用编程器可视条件代码。 通过使程序员可见条件代码不变，软件在每次迭代期间不被强制保存和恢复寄存器内容。

摘要： In an information processing apparatus and method, an application program that was encrypted using secret key-A is supplied to a decoding section 82, and publicized key-B and an encrypted publicized key-A (corresponding to secret key-A) that was encrypted by using secret key-B corresponding to publicized key-B are supplied to a decoding section 84. The decoding section 84 decodes the encrypted publicized key-A by using publicized key-B and supplies a resulting publicized key-A to the decoding section 82. The decoding section 82 decodes the encrypted application program by using publicized key that is supplied from the decoding section 84 and supplies Java byte codes as a decoding result to a Java virtual machine 83. The Java virtual machine 83 interprets and executes the Java byte codes that are supplied from the decoding section 82. As a result, it becomes possible to allow only programs developed by a legitimate software developer to be executed in certain program execution environments.

摘要： Dynamic translation of indirect branch instructions of a target application by a host processor is enhanced by including a cache to provide access to the addresses of the most frequently used translations of a host computer, minimizing the need to access the translation buffer. Each entry in the cache includes a host instruction address, a logical address of the instruction of the target application, the physical address of that instruction, the code segment limit to the instruction, and the context value of the host processor associated with that instruction, the last four named components constituting tags to the host instruction address, and a valid-invalid bit. In a basic embodiment, the cache is a software cache apportioned by software from the main processor memory chips.

摘要： A program module management system and a method thereof, and a storing medium of management programs of the system, in which plural program modules are loaded into arbitrary addresses in the RAM efficiently without loading the same program module into the RAM and the plural program modules can be executed on the RAM by a CPU, are provided. The program module management system provides a CPU for executing programs and operation processes, a ROM for storing program modules, a loading RAM which program modules are loaded into, and a RAM in which variables and stacks being necessary for executing the programs are stored. And the ROM provides a list table in which each start address of the program modules that are loaded into the loading RAM and each size of the program modules corresponding to the start address on the ROM are stored. And the loading RAM provides module management information in which each start address of the program modules storing in the loading RAM and each relative address of the program modules corresponding to the start address on the loading RAM are stored, in this, the relative address signifies the absolute value of the difference between each start address on the ROM and each start address on the loading RAM of each of the program modules=offset. And the program modules in the loading RAM are managed by management programs in the ROM.
