    Abstract: Method and apparatus for dynamic Node healing in a Multi-Node environment. A multi-node platform controller hub (MN-PCH) is configured to support multiple nodes through use of dedicated interfaces and components and shared capabilities. Interfaces and components may be configured to be used by respective nodes, or may be configured to support enhanced resiliency as redundant primary and spare interfaces and components. In response to detecting a failing or failing primary interface or component, the MN-PCH automatically performs failover operations to replace the primary with the spare. Moreover, the failover operation is transparent to the operating systems running on the platform's nodes.

    Abstract: Information communication circuitry, including a first integrated circuit for coupling to a second integrated circuit in a package on package configuration. The first integrated circuit comprises processing circuitry for communicating information bits, and the information bits comprise data bits and error correction bits, where the error correction bits are for indicating whether data bits are received correctly. The second integrated circuit comprises a memory for receiving and storing at least some of the information bits. The information communication circuitry also includes interfacing circuitry for selectively communicating, along a number of conductors, between the package on package configuration. In a first instance, the interfacing circuitry selectively communicates only data bits along the number of conductors. In a second instance, the interfacing circuitry selectively communicates data bits along a first set of the number of conductors and error correction bits along a second set of the number of conductors.

    Abstract: In a storage system for backing up data of an external apparatus, the external apparatus and a storage apparatus collaboratively perform efficient de-duplication. A storage system stores data from the external apparatus in a unit of content, and includes a backup apparatus configured to execute backup processing to create backup data of the data from the external apparatus in the unit of content; and a storage apparatus coupled to the backup apparatus in a communication-enabled manner and configured to store the backup data received from the backup apparatus. A first backup processing part of the backup apparatus determines whether or not a content is already stored in the storage apparatus by using first redundancy determination information that is information for determining whether or not each of contents of the backup data is already stored in the storage apparatus.

    Abstract: Network repeaters which each implement a redundant switching function previously grasp connection states of ports of a network system by using an inquiry frame and an exchange frame. At the time when a line is broken, when actively confirming a state of a port connected to a port in which a line is broken via a downstream device, the network repeaters each grasp that which portion of the line is broken and determine whether a switchover is required. Through the process, the network repeaters each prevent a useless switchover such as switching-back immediately after the switchover, and at the same time since a mechanism of waiting for a given length of times is not required, they each perform a fast switchover.
