Abstract: A system and method for initialization of a computer system is described. Faster initialization of a computer system is possible by allowing certain device driver initialization tasks to overlap with other initialization and operating system tasks. option-ROMs resident on hardware device drivers define the initialization tasks to be performed prior to device driver initialization. Initial computer code for booting the computing device, such as a BIOS, is executed. As option-ROMs for hardware devices are scanned and executed, specific device initialization information is accessed from the devices and placed in pre-defined buffer areas. These accesses occur in parallel to other start up tasks. When device drivers are loaded, some of their initialization has already completed, thereby shortening the time necessary to boot the system.

Abstract: Inform writes to inform a controller of availability of a plurality of replacement data buffers are optimally batched as a single message. Batching the inform writes lets the controller maintain control of a bus, thereby letting the controller continue with input operations with less interruption, while still allowing for timely replenishment of data buffers that can be made available to the controller. The number of available data buffers to indicate in the single message can be chosen so that the controller need not be starved of data buffers while waiting for a threshold number of available data buffers to be reached.

Abstract translation: 通知写入以通知控制器多个替换数据缓冲器的可用性被最佳地分批为单个消息。 将通知写入批处理可以让控制器保持对总线的控制，从而让控制器以更少的中断继续进行输入操作，同时仍允许及时补充可向控制器提供的数据缓冲区。 可以选择在单个消息中指示的可用数据缓冲器的数量，使得控制器不需要在等待可达到的阈值数量的可用数据缓冲器的情况下饥饿数据缓冲器。

Abstract: Various approaches for the verification of 5G networks, including the use of fingerprint-based IQ measurements for authentication and integrity monitoring, are discussed. In an example, a method of using fingerprints for authentication of network use includes: capturing in-phase and quadrature (IQ) data from a network connection between a user equipment (UE) and a 5G network; performing authentication of the network connection between the UE and the 5G network, by using a symbol of the IQ data as a random factor for the authentication; and monitoring the IQ data on an ongoing basis to verify the network connection between the UE and the 5G network. The method may also include creating a baseline IQ measurement from the IQ data when performing the authentication between the UE and the 5G network, and monitoring the IQ data by using a comparison of an ongoing IQ measurement to the baseline IQ measurement.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for identifying overrun conditions in data reception, for example. As a receive buffer approaches capacity, received data packets may be truncated to a smaller size. For example, header information may be saved but payload data discarded. The truncated packets may be used to facilitate sending acknowledgments to trigger resending of lost or dropped packets.

Abstract: A command-response bus protocol reduces the number of response transactions generated on a bus. According to an embodiment, an array of data is divided into a number of packets and transmitted over the bus in respective transactions. The transactions each include a writeback flag, which is enabled for the last packet but otherwise disabled. When a receiver of the packets observes the enabled writeback flag, it generates a response transaction. The response transaction indicates either that all packets of the array were received properly or that the commanded operation has been completed for the entire array. Overall, the number of bus transactions are reduced with respect to alternative schemes that require a response transaction for each transmitted packet.

Abstract: The present invention provides for controlling the order in which packets received from across a network may be processed. A receiver station examines the packets and determines a property of the packet. A priority level is associated with the packet prior to processing. The packet is placed into a queue and processed in an order based at least in part on its priority level. The method may be used to expedite or slow the processing of particular packets, such as advancing the processing order for acknowledgment packets. In addition, other aspects of the present invention relating to determining an order for processing packets by a receiver station.
