Damian Dobric has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method and apparatus for hardware implementation independent verification of network layers
    Patent number: 7290051
    Abstract: A verification mechanism monitors incoming and outgoing traffic between a channel adapter and a switch fabric in an InfiniBandSM system in order to verify that the InfiniBandSM protocol is correctly followed by the channel adapter. The verification mechanism uses a simple hardware-independent interface to query the channel adapter hardware for specific values and completion queue, queue pair and work queue element attributes that are required for verification. The verification mechanism creates a plurality of verification components that monitor incoming and outgoing messages and verify that each of the channel adapter elements correctly follows the protocol. The verification mechanism is controlled by a verification application programming interface (API) that allows different test benches and tests to incorporate InfiniBandSM protocol verification in any test system for use with any hardware.
