    Abstract: A unified, unidirectional serial link is described for providing data across wired media, such as a chip-to chip or a card-to-card interconnect. It consists of a transmit section and a receive section that are operated as pairs to allow the serial data communication. The serial link is implemented as part of a VLSI ASIC module and derives its power, data and clocking requirements from the host modules. The logic transmitter portion contains a phase locked loop (PLL) , a dibit data register, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter and a transmit data register. The phase locked loop comprises both a digital coarse loop and an analog fine loop. The digital receiver portion contains a PLL, an FIR phase rotator, a phase rotator control state machine, and a clock buffer. The transmitter and the receiver each preferably utilize a pseudo-random bit stream (PRBS) generator and checker.

    Abstract: It is proposed a method implemented by a logic of a computer memory control unit, wherein the control unit comprises at least one first interface and second interfaces and is adapted to be connected with a main physical memory via the first interface, and a set of N >= 2 non-cooperative processors via the second interfaces, and the logic is operatively coupled to said first and second interfaces. The method comprises receiving (S10), via said second interfaces, a request to access data of the main physical memory from a first processor of the set, evaluating (S20) if a second processor has previously accessed the data requested by the first processor, and deferring (S30) the request from the first processor when the evaluation (S20) is positive, or, granting (S40) the request from the first processor when the evaluation is negative.

    Abstract: A global architecture for a serial link connection between two cards which must transmit data across wired media is provided. The architecture comprises a transmitter portion and a receiver portion. The transmitter portion includes a structure and circuitry to take digital bits from a first bit register, such as for example, an eight-bit register or a ten-bit register, and convert these bits into serial analog transmission to the receiver portion. The receiver portion includes a structure and circuitry to sample the analog transmission of the original digital bits and reconvert the analog serial signal of the digital bits corresponding to the original digital bits and store them in a second bit register comparable to the data stored in the original register from which they were selected.

    Abstract: Ein von einem Computer umgesetztes Verfahren enthält ein Verwalten von Funktionsaufrufen zwischen einer Mehrzahl von Knoten und einem übergeordneten Knoten eines Rack-Systems mit einem verteilten Betriebssystem (OS). Das Betriebssystem enthält eine Mehrzahl von Funktionen, die in mindestens eine erste Klasse und eine zweite Klasse unterteilt sind, und jeder der Mehrzahl von Knoten schließt Funktionen in der zweiten Klasse aus. Das Verwalten der Funktionsaufrufe enthält ein Erfassen eines Aufrufs an eine erste Funktion auf einem ersten Knoten der Mehrzahl von Knoten. Es wird bestimmt, dass die erste Funktion zu der zweiten Klasse von Funktionen gehört und auf dem ersten Knoten nicht zur Verfügung steht. Der Aufruf an die erste Funktion wird zu dem übergeordneten Knoten weitergeleitet in Reaktion auf das Bestimmen, dass die erste Funktion zu der zweiten Klasse gehört, wobei der übergeordnete Knoten Code für die Funktionen in der zweiten Klasse enthält.

    Abstract: A compact assembly 10 of printed circuit boards (PCBs) comprises first and second PCBs 21, 22 maintained parallel and facing each other, each having first and second opposing sides. The second PCB 22 has a first set of side connectors C1 on its first side 221 and a second set of side connectors C2 on its second side 222, each configured for both electrical power supply to and signal communication to and/or from the second PCB. The second PCB is electrically and mechanically connected to the the first PCB via an elastomeric connector 31 located between the first side connectors of the second PCB and the second side 212 of the first PCB and is electrically connected to the first PCB via the second side connectors and a flexible electrical connector 40 which may be a flat flexible cable connecting the second set of side connectors and the first PCB. There may be a second elastomeric connector 32 located between the second set of side connectors C2 and the flexible connector 40. A U shape clamp connector 50 may fasten the assembly by mechanical pressure at a lateral edge of the PCBs. There may be multiple double-sided second PCBs such as mSATA PCBs carrying flash memories 61, 62 located on either side of a first storage module PCB (see Fig. 2).

    Abstract: The application discloses a persistent caching system which includes a storage system having at least one caching server for storing data, and clients for accessing the data through a network. The caching server is configured to store the data in a number of virtual memory blocks, each of the virtual memory blocks referring to an associated memory-mapped file in a file system of the caching server. Further, the caching server is configured to export addresses of the virtual memory blocks to each of the clients. Each of the clients is configured to access at least some of the virtual memory blocks through Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) using at least some of the exported addresses. The caching server is further configured to page one or more virtual memory blocks being accessed by one or more clients through RDMA to and/or from the memory-mapped files associated with the accessed virtual memory blocks.
