摘要： Timing apparatus for use with a computer system works with clock hardware which periodically generates a tick update signal. The timing apparatus uses a floating point number to maintain a total tick count for representing absolute time so that both a large range and a high resolution can be accommodated. However, since floating point operations can not always be used at hardware, or interrupt, levels and there are some cases where a hardware-dependent time representation will produce performance gains, a hardware dependent clock system is also provided. The clock system is provided with a flexible interface by using object-oriented programming techniques and providing three clock objects that provide for three different clock representations. Each of the objects provides its own methods for converting between the time representation that it uses and the time representations used by the other objects.

摘要： A disk file management system for use in a data processing system that includes at least one disk drive. The disk space is organized on the basis of logical cylinders, with each logical cylinder including a plurality of disk pages and a cylinder control block ("CCB"). Each entry in the CCB corresponds to a page in the CCB's cylinder. Depending on whether a page is allocated to a file or not, the corresponding CCB entry is a file map entry for a file to which the page is allocated or an entry in a free space map. For a given file, each file map entry includes up to two pointers so that the totality of page map entries for the file defines an unbalanced binary tree structure that consists of a sequence of balanced binary trees of increasing size. The free space map for a given cylinder is preferably a chained free space list.

摘要： A method of inserting chunks of bits into a target stream of bits within a computing system. The method includes the step of providing a target stream of bits. The method includes the step of providing a chunk stream of bits. The method includes the steps of chunking the chunk stream of bits into one or more chunks of bits; performing a random edit process on the target stream of bits by determining a random point within the target stream of bits and identifying random points within the target stream based on the mask stream until either the mask has no more insertion points or the target stream has no more bits.

摘要： A system and method of generating a one-way function and thereby producing a random-value stream. Steps include: providing a plurality of memory cells addressed according to a domain value wherein any given domain value maps to all possible range values; generating a random domain value associated with one of the memory cells; reading a data value associated with the generated random domain value; generating dynamically enhanced data by providing an additional quantity of data; removing suspected non-random portions thereby creating source data; validating the source data according to a minimum randomness requirement, thereby creating a validated source data; and integrating the validated source data with the memory cell locations using a random edit process that is a masking, a displacement-in-time, a chaos engine, an XOR, an overwrite, an expand, a remove, a control plane, or an address plane module. The expand module inserts a noise chunk.

摘要： A method and apparatus for an innovative hardware independent interface to the external world. The interrupt services are part of an overall I/O model providing an object base I/O system that supports dynamic configuration of the system. The design of these interrupt exploit the advantages of Object Oriented Design (OOD) in an otherwise disorderly world of I/O. Object processing is designed into the architecture at the lowest level routines in the preferred embodiment of the invention. This includes an object oriented design all the way down to interrupt processing abstractions. These interrupt abstractions provide an architecturally sound framework for the dynamic installation, configuration, and timely execution of interrupt handlers.

摘要： A system is disclosed for use in booting a processor with a storage and attached peripherals. The system utilizes a technique for initializing a computer by resetting the storage and the one or more peripherals. Then, the system initializes a degredated environment for use in activating an operating system. The degredated operating environment enables file sharing and other basic tasks of importance in loading in the IO devices, system preferences, and hardware configurations and replaces itself with the IO file system for use by the operating system.
