    Abstract: An interface module for interfacing an external device with a host computer is physically and electrically connected to the host computer. The module monitors its own power consumption and reports its power consumption to the host computer. This information can be used to determine the total power consumed by multiple modules, to indicate a problem with the interface module, or to detect a leakage current associated with the external device when main power is off.

    Abstract: A memory module includes memory devices and a power tracker for monitoring power consumption by the memory devices. The power tracker generates digital power consumption data that can be stored and used to anticipate and/or diagnose of power-related problems. The invention allows accurate monitoring of conditions that could otherwise lead to failure and provides a source of diagnostic data in the event of system failure related to excessive power consumption. Modules that self-monitor power consumption can provide highly accurate data to the user and/or the system, which has significant advantages over error-prone theoretical measurements or estimations.

    Abstract: A present invention termination stub system is disclosed. In one embodiment the termination stub system includes a first resistor, a division point, and a second resistor. The first resistor dampens reflections of a signal and is in series with an input signal path. The division point is coupled to the first resistor. The division point divides the signal into a plurality of output communication paths. The second resistor balances resistance of the termination stub system with a characteristic impedance of the signal input path. The second resistor is coupled to the first resistor in parallel with the input signal path and the plurality of output communication paths.

    Abstract: Hiding logical processors from an operating system (OS) of a computer is described. In an example, a method of hiding at least one logical processor in a computer having a plurality of logical processors includes: initializing the plurality of logical processors by executing a pre-boot routine in system firmware; identifying at least one logical processor of the plurality of logical processors to be hidden from an operating system (OS) of the computer to provide at least one hidden logical processor and at least one visible logical processor; placing each of the at least one hidden logical processor into a system management mode (SMM) by executing a park routine in the system firmware; and booting the OS of the computer to use the at least one visible logical processor.
