  • Patent number: 11960439
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for scalable MCTP infrastructure. A system is split into independent MCTP domains, wherein each MCTP domain uses Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) for endpoint devices within the MCTP domain in a manner similar to conventional MCTP operations. A new class of MCTP devices (referred to as a Domain Controllers) is provided to enable inter-domain communication and communication with global devices. Global traffic originators or receivers like a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU), Smart NIC (Network Interface Card), Debugger, or PROT (Platform Root or Trust) discover and establish two-way communication through the Domain Controllers to any of the devices in the target domain(s). The Domain Controllers are configured to implement tunneled connections between global devices and domain endpoint devices.

  • Patent number: 10289577
    Abstract: An exemplary system for wrapping an intellectual property core (IP) bus master(s), can include, for example, a plurality of IP cores associated with the IP core bus master(s), and a wrapper module connected to a serial input of the IP core bus master(s) and a serial output of the IP core bus master(s), where the wrapper module can be configured to capture and shift a plurality of values of a system bus for a plurality of bus transfers associated with the IP core bus master(s) and the IP cores. The wrapper module can be further configured to modify a wrapper control logic and a wrapper boundary register of the IP core bus master(s). A plurality of terminals can be included, which can be coupled to the IP core bus master(s), and a plurality of wrapper cells can be included, which can be associated with the plurality of terminals.

  • Publication number: 20120303716
    Abstract: A collaboration program operates on a computer system for storing, sharing and synchronizing data between different users. Centrally stored content data items are organized by associations into one or more folders, with the folders arranged by associations in a multi-level hierarchical structure. Users have access to all folders and content data items falling within at least one top level folder or “file cabinet” viewable by that user. When a user makes a change/addition to the hierarchical structure, that change/addition is transmitted to a server, which makes the change/addition to the necessary associations and sends messages through a TCP/IP format advising other signed-on users of the change/addition. The computer system operating the collaboration program gives different users simultaneous, synchronized access to the folders and content data items in the hierarchical structure.
