Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a collapsible shipping container and a system of stacked collapsible shipping containers.

Abstract: A method of performing memory mapped input output operations to an alternate address space comprising: establishing a first instruction directed to a first memory mapped input output alternate address space associated with an adapter to store data in accordance with a definition of a z/Architecture; establishing a second instruction directed to the first memory mapped input output alternate address space associated with an adapter to load data in accordance with the definition(s) of the z/Architecture; and wherein a process issues at least one of the first instruction and the second instruction and thereby causes execution of at least one of the store and load with the first alternate address space.

Abstract: A method of managing memory mapped input output operations to an alternate address space comprising: executing a first instruction directed to a first memory mapped input output alternate address space of a machine associated with a first adapter to allocate a resource associated with the first adapter to a process in accordance with a definition of a z/Architecture; wherein a selected process issues at least one of a load and a store instruction executed in a problem state of the machine to a selected address location of a selected resource. The method further includes ensuring that the selected resource corresponds with the allocated resource and determining that the selected process corresponds with the process to which the resource is allocated.

The process issues at least one of the first instruction and the second instruction and thereby causes execution of at least one of the store and load with the first alternate address space.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed within a logically partitioned data processing system for providing an aliased queue pair for each logical partition for the single general services management queue pair that exists within a physical host channel adapter. Packets intended for the logical ports are received at the physical port. Multiple partitions exist within the data processing system. When one of these partitions needs to use one of the logical ports, a queue pair is selected. The queue pair is then associated with the logical port. The queue pair is configured as an aliased general services management queue pair and is used by the partition as if the aliased queue pair were the single general services management queue pair provided in the channel adapter.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for logically partitioning resources of a single channel adapter for use in a system area network. Each resource includes a partition identifier register within which is stored a partition identifier. A first one of the resources is assigned to a first partition by storing a first partition identifier in the partition identifier register within the first one of the resources. A second one of the resources is assigned to a second partition by storing a second partition identifier in the partition identifier register within the second one of the resources. Partitioning of the resources is enforced by permitting access to the first resource by only the first partition and permitting access to the second resource by only the second partition by checking the partition identifiers of each resource.

Abstract: A Host Channel Adapter supporting a plurality of Logical Partitions is provided. A Subnet Manager, having an associated aliased Queue Pair, may run in a Logical Partition. A single physical subnet management Queue Pair and its associated firmware are provided for each physical port in the Host Channel Adapter. If a packet is to be routed to a Subnet Manager residing in a Logical Partition, the packet is enqueued on the physical port's send queue for transmission to the aliased Queue Pair for the Subnet Manager. The Host Channel Adapter hardware loops the packet back to the aliased Queue Pair in the appropriate Logical Partition. The aliased Queue Pair is also capable of transmitting packets that are looped back to a Hypervisor Subnet Management Agent.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for unwinding a web material that defines a plurality of integral lanes with separators disposed between the lanes. At least one lane of the web material can be torn along a separator without using a cutting or slitting device while maintaining one or more other lanes on the roll.

Abstract: A technique for interactively analyzing system log-files. System log-files, which are monitored by technical personnel and systems specialists to determine system performance, status, and software faults, are often generated during various hardware and software monitoring operations. Each log-file contains time stamped reports. This technique is especially useful for analyzing large log-files. A new release of software may contain many incremental versions that must be tested. The testing of each incremental version may generate a log-file containing thousands of reports. Using this technique, reports are correlated, faults are isolated, and temporal patterns are recognized more quickly and efficiently than by using conventional, non-graphical techniques.
