  • Patent number: 10878041
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for providing different access to documents in an online document sharing community depending on whether the document is public or private. A request is received for a page and a determination is made of a document to include in the page and whether document information for the determined document indicates the document as public or private. An access element is included in the page to provide access to the content of the determined document in response to determining that the determined document is public. Access to a public description of the document not including all the content of the document is included in the page in response to determining that the determined document is private and that the requesting participant is not a member of the group of participants allowed to access the document.

  • Patent number: 9355384
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for providing access to documents requiring a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in an online document sharing community. A document request is received from a requesting participant at a requesting participant computer comprising one of the participant computers in the network environment. In response to receiving the document request, an access page is returned to the requesting participant computer including a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) requesting that the requesting participant accept terms of the NDA in order to access the content of the document in the storage system. The content of the document is returned to the requesting participant computer in response to receiving indication from the requesting participant computer accepting the terms of the NDA.

  • Patent number: 9280794
    Abstract: Provided are computer program product, system, and method for providing access to documents in an online document sharing community in a network environment including a plurality of participant computers operated by participants in the online document sharing community and a storage system. Document content is processed to add search terms for the document and a document identifier to a search index accessible through a search engine over the network to participants not under an obligation of confidentiality to the owner with respect to the document. Access is provided to the content of the document to the participants in the online document sharing community. A determination is made of a publication time the document was included in the search index and made accessible to the participant computers operated by participants not under the obligation of confidentiality to the owner of the document content.

  • Publication number: 20130246343
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for inviting participants in an online document sharing community to accept terms of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to access a document. Group information for a group created by an owner of a document indicates at least one document associated with the owner and at least one invitee. A join message is sent to the at least one invitee participant computer. The join message includes a description of the document that does not include all the content of the document and a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) requesting the invitee to accept terms of the NDA in order to access all of the content of the document. The content of the document is only provided to the invitee participant computer of the at least one invitee that has accepted the NDA.

  • Patent number: 6463524
    Abstract: A superscalar processor and method are disclosed for efficiently executing a store instruction. The store instruction is stored in an issue queue within the processor. A first part of the store instruction is issued from the issue queue to a first one of different execution units in response to a first operand becoming available. A second part of the store instruction is issued from the issue queue to a second one of the different execution units in response to a second operand becoming available. The store instruction is completed in response to executing the first part of the store instruction by the first one of the execution units and the second part of the store instruction by the second one of the execution units.

  • Patent number: 6282600
    Abstract: A method and implementing system are provided in which a service processor is implemented in addition to system processors. The service processor is enabled to access system on-chip registers to acquire system data through the use of the system JTAG bus connections. In one embodiment, logic is provided to determine concurrent calls for use of the same registers by both the system processor(s) and also by the service processor through the JTAG bus. In case of concurrent requests, the JTAG data are held so as not to interfere with system operations until the system processor's use of the registers has been completed.

  • Patent number: 5915126
    Abstract: A computer system including a memory controller programmed with associated burst order translation logic and coupled to one or more microprocessors and including a memory circuit which supports either sequential or interleaved transmission of burst data communication between an I/O devices and one or more of the microprocessors. Data transmitted to or from an I/O device, processor or memory is temporarily stored in a buffer within the memory controller. The buffers contain multiple addresses with each address capable of containing a quadword of data. The quadwords of data are transferred to the addresses corresponding to which quadword is the requested quadword from the processor. The quadwords are transmitted, requested quadword first then the next quadword, continuing until all quadwords are transmitted. The corresponding addresses are determined through incrementing or decrementing a pointer to the corresponding addresses, dependent upon the burst ordering translation required.
