  • Publication number: 20170185343
    Abstract: According to an example, a lock may be requested by a first redundancy controller from a parity media controller to perform a first sequence that accesses multiple memory modules in a stripe. The lock may be acquired for the stripe so that the first sequence may be performed on the stripe. The lock may then be released from the stripe.

  • Patent number: 9619303
    Abstract: A controller has a cache to store data associated with an address that is subject to conflict resolution. A conflict resolution queue stores information relating to plural transactions, and logic reprioritizes the plural transactions in the conflict resolution queue to change a priority of a first type of transaction with respect to a priority of second type of transaction.

  • Publication number: 20130263148
    Abstract: In one example, a controller for managing a set of resources. A first structure has a first entry statically associated with one of the resources. A second structure has a second entry dynamically associative with one of the resources. A resource sharing mechanism borrows for the second structure an idle resource associated with the first structure.

  • Patent number: 8225048
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to manage access to computing resources. More specifically, certain embodiments are described in which a resource or resource consumer can engage access controls or request that access controls be engaged if the age of a request exceeds one or more thresholds. For example, a requester may, after the age of a request meets or exceeds a threshold, indicate to a destination that a control should be engaged.

  • Patent number: 8019920
    Abstract: The system includes a microprocessor, a first buffer, a second buffer, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a memory and an interface. The control circuit is configured to determine a first buffer value and compare the first buffer value to a predetermined value to obtain a result. The control circuit is further configured to control a read issue rate of the first buffer based on the result. The memory is configured to store at least one of the first buffer value, the result, the read issue rate, and the TAG.

  • Patent number: 8000171
    Abstract: An example of a cable positioning mechanism for directing a cable into a seismic sensor housing for connection with the seismic sensor includes a member sized to connect with a seismic sensor housing, the cable passing through the member at opposing anchor points for operational connection to the seismic sensor between the anchor points, wherein the cable is oriented through the member at an angle that is not perpendicular to a vertical axis of the sensor housing.

  • Patent number: 7813221
    Abstract: Implementations of various technologies for a method for establishing communication pathway redundancy within a seismic recording array. In one implementation, the method may include identifying each data acquisition cell deployed in a seismic field and determining one or more communication pathways for each data acquisition cell. The communication pathways include a primary communication pathway and at least one backup communication pathway toward a data collection unit.

  • Publication number: 20080270708
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for achieving cache coherency in a multiprocessor computer system having a plurality of sockets with processing devices and memory controllers and a plurality of memory blocks. In at least some embodiments, the system includes a plurality of node controllers capable of being respectively coupled to the respective sockets of the multiprocessor computer, a plurality of caching devices respectively coupled to the respective node controllers, and a fabric coupling the respective node controllers, by which cache line request signals can be communicated between the respective node controllers. Cache coherency is achieved notwithstanding the cache line request signals communicated between the respective node controllers due at least in part to communications between the node controllers and the respective caching devices to which the node controllers are coupled.

  • Patent number: 6664961
    Abstract: The present invention is a digital electronic system for rendering a volume image in real time. The system accelerators the processing of voxels through early ray termination and space leaping techniques in the projection guided ray casting of the voxels. Predictable and regular voxel access from high-speed internal memory further accelerates the volume rendering. Through the acceleration techniques and devices of the present invention real-time rendering of parallel and perspective views, including those for stereoscopic viewing, are achieved.
