Patent number: 7890690Abstract: A method for emulating a dual-port I2C device includes monitoring a bus for I2C traffic. A system receives an I2C interrupt on the bus. The system determines whether the received I2C interrupt is one of either a hardware interrupt or a software interrupt. In the event the received I2C interrupt is a hardware interrupt, the system responds to the hardware interrupt, and accesses a flash memory for read/write operation based on the hardware interrupt. In the event the received I2C interrupt is a software interrupt, the system responds to the software interrupt, and accesses a flash memory for read/write operation based on the software interrupt.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kaveh Naderi, Patrick Allen Buckland, Jason Eric Moore, Abel Enrique Zuzuarregui

Patent number: 7865690Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for prohibiting unauthorized access of data that is stored on storage drives. Multiple logical partitions are generated. A different unique randomizer seed is associated with each one of the logical partitions. In response to one of the logical partitions needing to access a storage drive, the logical partition transmits a seed to the storage drive. The transmitted seed is associated with the one of the logical partitions. A transmitting one of the logical partitions is unable to transmit a seed that is other than a seed that is associated with the transmitting one of the logical partitions. The storage drive utilizes the transmitted seed to randomize and de-randomize data for the one of the logical partitions. Data randomized for one of the logical partitions cannot be de-randomized for a different one of the logical partitions.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas Richard Forrer, Jr., Jason Eric Moore, Abel Enrique Zuzuarregui

Patent number: 7836247Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for permitting access to a data storage device while the device is being formatted. A format command is received within the device from the host. A command complete response is then transmitted to the host before the device has completed being formatted. The host waits for the command complete response before the host transmits any read or write command to the device. Read and write commands that are transmitted to the device from the host are executed while the device is still being formatted.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2004Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas R. Forrer, Jr., Jason Eric Moore, Abel Enrique Zuzuarregui

Patent number: 7676622Abstract: A system for bus communication includes a first port coupled to a bus, comprising a first engine configured to respond to bus signals on the bus, according to a predetermined protocol. A second port couples to the bus, comprising a second engine configured to respond to bus signals according to the predetermined protocol. A control module couples to the second port and is configured to receive a port state signal, and to disable the second port based on the received port state signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kaveh Naderi, Patrick Allen Buckland, Jason Eric Moore, Abel Enrique Zuzuarregui

Patent number: 7653838Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for reporting and recovering from uncorrectable data errors in a data processing system using the Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) or the Serial ATA (SATA) protocol. The invention utilizes the data scrubbing functionality of SCSI hard drives to provide a higher level of data integrity in an operating system implemented RAID environment. If an uncorrectable data error is found on a hard drive during a background data scrubbing operation, information concerning the data error is logged in a S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) error data structure. When the host operating system identifies the uncorrectable data error during normal operation, a Host Array Manager issues a Write Command to write the data from a redundant drive after the defective Logical Block Address (LBA) has been reassigned.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2008Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas R.

Patent number: 7529801Abstract: A mechanism for multiple instant messaging (IM) sessions associated with a single user name is provided. A frontend server receives user login requests and routes the instant messaging system to a back-end server. Each login associated with a particular user name is routed to the same backend server (or IM host). Messages targeted to a recipient having a plurality of active IM sessions are broadcast to all the active sessions. Messages targeted to recipients having a single IM session are unicast.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2003Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jason Eric Moore, Rafael Graniello Cabezas, Elizabeth Silvia, Liliana Orozco

Patent number: 7461202Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for allocating a portion of the OD zone of a hard drive disk to be a non-volatile (NV) caching space, where all writes to the disk are carried out. These write operations can be performed much faster than with conventional techniques, and storage costs may be significantly reduced. The disk drive controller manages the cache, and the host system sees improved throughput, especially for write intensive operations. In one embodiment a method is provided for writing specified data to a disk drive in a computer configuration, the disk drive having a magnetic disk and a volatile cache memory. A specified portion of the OD zone of the disk is reserved for an NV cache space, and the specified data is initially stored in the volatile memory, in response to a write command.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas Richard Forrer, Jr., Jason Eric Moore, Asghar Tavasoli, Abel Enrique Zuzuarregui
