Patent number: 11300605Abstract: The present disclosure describes printed circuit board performance evaluation techniques. In some cases, a printed circuit board performance evaluation process may include determining a first set of electrical properties associated with an interface between components of a printed circuit board, where the interface is disposed on an internal or external layer of the printed circuit board. After selective application of a sheet of dielectric material to a portion of a transmission line in the interface, a second set of electrical properties associated with the interface may be determined. The first set of electrical properties may be compared to the second set of electrical properties to evaluate printed circuit board performance. In other cases, the interface may include a trace inductor, and electrical properties of the interface before and after application of a ferrous material may be compared to evaluate printed circuit board performance.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Layne A. Berge, Matthew S. Doyle, Manuel Orozco, John R. Dangler, Thomas W. Liang, Jason J. Bjorgaard

Patent number: 11205016Abstract: An optical electromagnetic radiation (EM) emitter and receiver are located upon a printed circuit board (PCB) layer and are optically connected to an optical security pathway that is between a pair of signal traces. A predetermined reference flux is determined, the reference flux being the expected EM transmitted by the optical security pathway and received by the receiver. When the PCB is subject to an unauthorized access thereof (e.g., drilled, sawed, cut, etc.), the optical EM transferred by optical security pathway is altered. An optical monitoring device that monitors the flux of the optical EM received by the receiver detects a change in flux, in relation to the reference flux, and passes a tamper signal to one or more computer system devices to respond to the unauthorized access. For example, one or more cryptographic adapter card or computer system functions or secured crypto components may be disabled.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Layne A. Berge, John R. Dangler, Matthew S. Doyle, Thomas W. Liang, Manuel Orozco

Patent number: 10901901Abstract: A deployment manager deploys processing elements of a streaming application in a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) aware manner to reduce memory coherency overhead in a streaming application. The deployment manager is able to utilize information about an application's operators and the architecture of the NUMA nodes to place whole processing elements on a single NUMA node. Where the operators of a processing element would cross NUMA node boundaries, the deployment manager may consolidate the threads of a processing element to place an application's operators on a single NUMA node to increase efficiency of the system.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David M.

Patent number: 10671489Abstract: A variable checkpoint mechanism in a streams manager checkpoints a streaming application based on periodic time periods for checkpoints. The variable checkpoint mechanism can take a checkpoint before a periodic time period ends when a spike is coming, or can take a checkpoint after the periodic time period ends when there is backpressure in a consistent region of the streaming application. When there is no anticipated spike coming and when there is no backpressure in a consistent region of the streaming application, the checkpoint is performed at the normal end of the periodic time period for checkpoints. In this manner the checkpoint timing of the variable checkpoint mechanism can be adjusted real-time to minimize the negative impact of checkpointing on the performance of the streaming application.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alexander Cook, Manuel Orozco, Christopher R.
