Abstract: Embodiments are described that leverage variability of a chip. Different areas of a chip vary in terms of reliability under a same operating condition. The variability may be captured by measuring errors over different areas of the chip. A physical factor that affects or controls the likelihood of an error on the chip can be varied. For example, the voltage supplied to a chip may be provided at different levels. At each level of the physical factor, the chip is tested for errors within the regions. Some indication of the error statistics for the regions is stored and then used to adjust power used by the chip, to adjust reliability behavior of the chip, to allow applications to control how the chip is used, to compute a signature uniquely identifying the chip, etc.

Abstract: A dataflow graph is split into sub-graphs referred to as configurations, each configuration comprising computational hardware containing elements that operate on operand sets. A configuration executes by consuming completed operand sets from a designated input tag space (e.g., in a content addressable memory) until the operand sets are exhausted. At that point, the configuration is replaced by another configuration. The execution of a configuration may be triggered by system events, including by the completion of one or more other configurations. Each configuration has a list of inputs on which it depends to form complete operand sets. As other configurations that provide an input complete, a dependency flag is set in each dependent configuration. As each flag is set, the complete set of flags is checked for that configuration; if all the input flags for any configuration are set, then that configuration is scheduled for execution.

Abstract translation: 数据流图被分为称为配置的子图，每个配置包括包含操作数集合的元素的计算硬件。 通过从指定的输入标签空间（例如，在内容可寻址存储器）中消耗完成的操作数集，直到操作数集合被耗尽来执行配置。 在这一点上，配置被另一个配置所取代。 配置的执行可以由系统事件触发，包括完成一个或多个其他配置。 每个配置都有一个输入列表，它依赖于其形成完整的操作数集。 作为提供输入完成的其他配置，在每个相关配置中设置依赖标志。 当每个标志被设置时，对该配置检查完整的标志集合; 如果任何配置的所有输入标志都被设置，那么该配置被安排执行。

Abstract: A multi-tasking operating system and method updates PCI address values in an extension register to ensure that various threads utilize the correct values when accessing peripheral PCI devices. When application program threads require access to a PCI device, the operating system writes the high order bits of the PCI device address to two places: (1) the extension register of the PCI host bridge to allow immediate addressing of the PCI device, and (2) separate memory locations associated with the threads. When a context switch occurs from a first thread to a second thread, the operating system retrieves the stored value from the memory location associated with the second thread and writes the value to the extension register. In this manner, when the second thread requires access to its PCI device, the proper address value is already located in the extension register.

Abstract translation: 多任务操作系统和方法更新扩展寄存器中的PCI地址值，以确保各种线程在访问外围PCI设备时使用正确的值。 当应用程序线程需要访问PCI设备时，操作系统将PCI设备地址的高位位写入两个位置：（1）PCI主桥的扩展寄存器，以允许PCI设备的即时寻址，以及（ 2）与线程相关联的单独内存位置。 当从第一个线程发生到第二个线程的上下文切换时，操作系统从与第二个线程相关联的存储器位置检索存储的值，并将该值写入扩展寄存器。 以这种方式，当第二线程需要访问其PCI设备时，适当的地址值已经位于扩展寄存器中。
