摘要:
Disclosed is a server farm or MetaServer environment in which thin servers or server appliances each include a programmable network interface card providing logic required for implementing service processor functions. The combined implementation of the network interface and service processor hardware and software substantially eliminates redundancies, which previously existed when both were separate components. Service processor functions that are provided on the programmable network interface card includes gathering sensor data about the hardware, forwarding alerts regarding hardware state, initiating shutdown and restart on command, and responding to operating system service processor inquiries and commands. Additionally, other low-level management and control functions are provided on the programmable network interface card. Also, in one embodiment, a re-partitioning of the functions between the service processor (or probes) and the network interface is provided.

Relating to a method succeeded among a plurality of classes having a hierarchical relationship and the method overwriting the succeeded method, a method table stores therein method information including starting addresses of the storage locations of the respective methods, in which the respective method information is connected in series along the hierarchical relationship between the position classes of the respective methods. When a storage location of a message called by the message of a method call is retrieved, the retrieval of the method table is executed by the key which is the class designated by the message. Unless any designated method is retrieved by this retrieval, the key which is a super class of the designated class executes the retrieval based on the class table.

Provided is a TLB that can translate rapidly a virtual address to a physical address at small power consumption. A tag entry part (808) includes an ASID hold part (810), virtual address hold part (811), valid bit part (812), ASID comparison judgment part (102), and a virtual address comparison judgment part (104). By an ASID match line (105), a plurality of CAM cells (813) of the ASID hold part (810) are connected in parallel to each other and also connected to the ASID comparison judgment part (102). By a virtual address match line (106), a plurality of CAM cells (813) of the virtual address hold part (811) are connected in parallel to each other and also connected to the virtual address comparison judgment part (104). An ASID effective signal (107) is provided from the ASID comparison judgment part (102) to the virtual address comparison judgment part (104).

A cassette library (1) is provided with a driving apparatus (13), cassette housing shelves (14, 15) and a cassette carrier (16). A library controller (2) simulates as if driving apparatuses (13) having continuous address numbers were apparently used in the host computer (3) even when physically discontinuous address numbers are allocated to the driving apparatus (13), thereby making it possible to set occupancy for a driving apparatus with an arbitrary address number. The library controller (2) has the cassette carrier (16) automatically carry, at a preset timing, a cleaning cassette from the cassette housing shelf (14, 15) to the driving apparatus (13) to clean a recording reproduction head of the driving apparatus (13) using the cleaning cassette which is then carried back to the housing section in the original cassette housing shelf (14, 15) after the cleaning work.
摘要:
A data buffer memory management method and system is provided for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of buffer replacement selection. Hierarchical Victim Selection (HVS) identifies hot buffer pages, warm buffer pages and cold buffer pages through weights, reference counts, reassignment of levels and ageing of levels, and then explicitly avoids victimizing hot pages while favoring cold pages in the hierarchy. Unlike LRU, pages in the system are identified by both a static manner (through weights) and in a dynamic manner (through reference counts, reassignment of levels and ageing of levels). HVS provides higher concurrency by allowing pages to be victimized from different levels simultaneously. Unlike other approaches, Hierarchical Victim Selection provides the infrastructure for page cleaners to ensure that the next candidate victims will be clean pages by segregating dirty pages in hierarchical levels having multiple separate lists so that the dirty pages may be cleaned asynchronously.
摘要:
Upon implementing a data registration into or a data retrieval from a data table (3) where first item data are registered along with corresponding second item data, there are used a first pointer table (1) where pointers to part of the registered data in the data table are registered in storage positions that are designated by hash values obtained by applying a first hash function (6) to the first item data of the part of the registered data, and a second pointer table (2) where pointers to the other registered data in the data table are registered in storage positions that are designated by hash values obtained by applying a second hash function (22) to the first item data of the other registered data.
摘要:
A method for transmitting data of a plurality of data types between a digital processor and a hardware arithmetic-logic unit with at least one associated table memory, first involves preselecting a base address in the table memory that (base address) is dependent on the data type of the data to be transmitted. This is followed by a read and/or write access to the table memory by taking the preselected base address as a starting point for computing the address used for the read/write access in the table memory for each access operation according to an arithmetic computation rule.
摘要:
A translation buffer is described which can translate virtual addresses to physical addresses wherein the virtual addresses have varying page sizes. The translation buffer includes a decoder to generate a hashed index, the index identifying an entry into two arrays. The first of the two arrays identifies a corresponding physical page address and the other array identifies a corresponding variable page address that in comparison to a variable portion of the virtual address, will indicate whether the entry in the first array has a matching entry. If the first array identifies a matching physical page address, then the physical page address is combined with the offset of the virtual address to yield a physical address translation of the virtual address.

A portable radio terminal includes a GPS signal processor for determining the position of the portable radio terminal, and requests a system server to transmit map image data and landmark data in the vicinity of the portable radio terminal. The system server transmits the map image data and landmark data separately to allow the display unit of the portable radio terminal to represent desired landmarks overlapped with the map image on the display unit.
摘要:
A memory device testing apparatus transfers at high speed a fail signal from a failure analysis memory unit 100 to a memory failure remedy analysis unit 200. The failure analysis memory unit 100 has a data storage memory 110 and a compact memory 120. The data storage memory 110 is divided into at least two sub address spaces. The divided sub address spaces are assigned to the addresses in the compact memory 120. A address generation control unit reads data stored in the compact memory 120. An address generation unit 132 generates a memory address signal 143 based on a sub address signal 141 and a detail address signal 142. The detail address signal 142 is incremented by the address generation control unit 125. The data in the sub address space storing the fail signal is transferred to the memory failure remedy analysis unit 200. If the data read from the compact memory 120 does not contain failure information, the data stored in the corresponding sub address space is not transferred.
