  • Method for gracefully stopping a multi-threaded application
    Patent number: 8327378
    Abstract: A method, system, and a computer program product for gracefully stopping a multi-threaded application. An aspect of the present invention requires each thread in a multi-threaded application to acquire a work permit before performing a task and to release the work permit after completion of the performance of the task. The multi-threaded application is stopped only when all of the work permits have been released by the threads in the application. The release of all of the set of work permits indicates that all the currently performing tasks/threads are completed, thereby “gracefully” stopping the multi-threaded application.

  • Data transfer protocol for 6.25 GBPs Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES)
    Patent number: 7529275
    Abstract: A method and a system for communicating data packets over a data bus is provided. The method includes sending one or more delimiter lines, a delimiter line comprising ‘N’ number of characters, the characters being sent for clock recovery; scrambling the data packets; sending the scrambled data packets after the delimiter line; sending at least one intra-packet within the data packets, the intra-packet being a packet within packets, the intra-packet including ‘control’ information; sending one or more delimiter lines after sending the scrambled data packets; and descrambling them.

  • Method and system for breaking repetitive patterns to reduce transmission errors
    Patent number: 7397397
    Abstract: A method and a system for communicating data in a communication channel are provided. The method includes the identification of a sequence of bits recurring in the data, and generating a locking pattern. The locking pattern includes locking symbols and a random bit pattern. The method also includes sending the locking pattern within the data. The locking pattern is received by a receiver and is used to lock the receiver and ignore the recurring bit sequence.
