Abstract: A system has a processor with multiple states, including an awake state and a sleep state, a memory subsystem including a memory controller and memory devices, and a second memory. The system uses software in the second memory to initialize the memory controller upon a transition from a sleep state to an awake state. The system detects a wake event trigger, and in response to the wake event trigger, executes software stored in the second memory to initialize the memory controller, and then executes software out of the first memory after the initialization.

Abstract: A computer system includes processing circuitry and alarm circuitry connectable to a network. A power sub-system includes at least three power supply units, wherein at least a predetermined plurality of power supply units are required to power the computer system. A power distribution mechanism is connectable to the power supply units. The power distribution mechanism is connected to the processing circuitry to supply main power thereto and is connected to the alarm circuitry to supply standby power thereto. The power distribution mechanism is operable to supply main power to the processing circuitry when at least a said predetermined plurality of connected power supplies are operative and is operable to supply standby power to the alarm circuitry when at least one power supply is operative.

Abstract: A method of remote booting of a client computer in a LAN. The client computer downloads the drivers and the operating systems needed from the server through a coupled PCI network interface card. The driver is provided with a detecting program. When the client computer downloads and executes the first operating system, a hardware interrupt signal is cleared and the booting procedures can be completed successfully.

Abstract: The present invention is a method, program product, computer system and apparatus for configuring an existing server process without the need to end and restart the server process. Specifically, a new server process is started with updated configuration information. If an existing server process is currently running, then the new server process assumes the role of a client and initiates a configuration request. The configuration request contains the necessary information for the existing server process to update its “old” configuration to conform to the “new configuration” in accordance with the configuration request.

Abstract: An integrated circuit employing a built-in self testing is provided. The circuit comprises a clock controller, a plurality of logic domains, and a system clock. The clock controller includes a plurality of programmable clock templates. The logic domains operate based on clocks having different clocks and/or on different edges of the clocks and operable asynchronously with respect to the others of said logic domains. The system clock is distributed to the logic domains and to the clock controller. Herein, each logic domain generates master/slave signals in response to the received system clock and each of the clock templates distributes enabling signals to at least one corresponding logic domain. The enabling signals are for selectively gating the generated master/slave signals for distribution throughout at least one corresponding logic domain.
