For increased board level frequencies and usage of high-speed serial links, board vias introduce excessive parasitic effects thereby limiting frequency for signal interface operation. The method presented here reduces the electrical parasitic effects associated with via interconnects by providing means of locally...

In previous Intel based designs, when the system detected an unrecoverable error, the SMI handler was invoked. Once invoked, the SMI handler code is executed by one of the system processors to determine the failing FRU. SMI handlers have three deficiencies.

One of the main purposes of SAN Management applications is to alert users about changes in the SANs that are being monitored. Users are typically made aware of these changes in the monitored SANs by changes to a graphical representation of the SAN the application might be displaying, and also by receiving events...

Supporting launching selectable device management application in SAN management environment is an efficient way to help user to satisfy his/her special requirement to manage the device specific aspects from a single point entry, but we don’t have a way to do so far, especially a way that can dynamically provide...

This publication describes a new algorithm designed for systems that contain asynchronously clocked processors. The algorithm was designed to eliminate the use of any spin locks when calculating a global counter value because the amount of time required by each processsor in a multiprocessor environment to obtain a...

Applications may access resources that have differing authorization and environmental requirements. The normal method for satisfying these differing requirements is to run the application with an authorization such as root, that has access to all of the resources. If there is no single root authorization that can be...
