  • Computer system with operating system to dynamically adjust the main memory
    Patent number: 6950919
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a computer system with operating system permitting dynamic reallocation of main memory during operation. In a particular embodiment the computer system with operating system are used in connection with non-volatile main memory stores (NMS) such as MRAM. As the NMS is a component of main memory attached directly to the memory bus, the NMS functions at substantially the same speed as traditional volatile memory stores. Reallocation of main memory and use of applications or programs stored on the inserted NMS occurs at speeds orders of magnitude greater than traditional secondary memory devices.

  • Semiconductor structure
    Publication number: 20050208769
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure is fabricated by etching semiconductor material to form one or more recesses having side walls. The semiconductor material on the side walls is then reacted to form an oxide of the semiconductor material. This oxide may be then selectively removed from the side walls of the recess(es). This leads to a semiconductor structure having a high aspect ratio which is defined as the depth of the recess(es) divided by the width of the semiconductor material between the recess(es).

  • System, device, and method for address management in a distributed communication environment
    Publication number: 20050190754
    Abstract: A distributed address database management technique involves maintaining an address database by each of a number of interconnected modules. Each module maintains a number of locally owned address entries and a number of remotely owned address entries in the address database. Each module monitors the status of its locally owned address entries, maintains the locally owned address entries based upon the status, and provides the status to the other interconnected modules. Each module maintains the remotely owned address entries based upon the status received from the other interconnected modules. When a module adds a locally owned address entry to its address database, the module notifies the other interconnected modules, which in turn add a corresponding remotely owned address entry to their respective address databases.
