Abstract: A design control system suitable for use in connection with the design of integrated circuits and other elements of manufacture having many parts which need to be developed in a concurrent engineering environment with inputs provided by users and or systems which may be located anywhere in the world providing a set of control information for coordinating movement of the design information through development and to release while providing dynamic tracking of the status of elements of the bills of materials in an integrated and coordinated activity control system utilizing a repository which can be implemented in the form of a database (relational, object oriented, etc.) or using a flat file system. Once a model is created and/or identified by control information design libraries hold the actual pieces of the design under control of the system without limit to the number of libraries, and providing for tracking and hierarchical designs which are allowed to traverse through multiple libraries. Data Managers become part of the design team, and libraries are programmable to meet the needs of the design group they service.

Abstract: A remote resource management system for managing resources in a symmetrical multiprocessing comprising a plurality of clusters of symmetric multiprocessors having interfaces between cluster nodes of the symmetric multiprocessor system. each cluster of the system has a local interface and interface controller. There are one or more remote storage controllers each having its local interface controller, and a local-to-remote data bus. The remote resource manager manages the interface between two clusters of symmetric multiprocessors each of which clusters has a plurality of processors, a shared cache memory, a plurality of I/O adapters and a main memory accessible from the cluster. This remote resource manager manages resources with a remote storage controller to distribute work to a remote controller acting as an agent to perform a desired operation without requiring knowledge of a requestor who initiated the work request. Said work is transferred only when a remote requestor is available for processing of the work, without a need for constant communication between the clusters of symmetric multiprocessors.
