Abstract: A system for consistently implementing reset and power management of IP agents on a System on a Chip (SoC). When IP agents undergo a reset, an individual negotiation takes placed between an interconnect and each IP agent over a link. Each IP agent can emerge from reset at its own time schedule, independently of the timing of the other IP agents. The interconnect may be configured as a proxy for any IP agent that is inoperable, including prior to reset, when in a power-down mode, or malfunctioning.

Abstract: Arbitrating among portions of multiple transactions and transmitting a winning portion over one of a multiplicity of virtual channels associated with an interconnect on a clock cycle-by-clock cycle basis. By repeatedly performing the above each clock cycle, winning portions are interleaved and transmitted over the multiplicity of virtual channels over multiple clock cycles respectively.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for protein manufacture wherein the protein is expressed in a host cell, and in a more specific manner relates to a method for manufacturing a protein that results in reduced levels of product-related impurities.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are therefore provided for providing a navigation user interface. The apparatus may be caused to: receive an indication of an origin and a destination; provide for presentation of a representation of the origin, a representation of the destination, and a representation of the route there between, where the representation of the route may include a bar extending in a circular shape between the representation of the origin and the representation of the destination, and defining a map display region within the circular shape. The apparatus may also be configured to provide for presentation of a present location indicator on the representation of the route and provide for presentation of a map within the map display region. The map within the map display region may correspond to at least one of a current location or a user selected location along the route.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing a destination preview while using a navigation device. As a user approaches a destination, a mode of navigation assistance may change from route guidance to destination preview. The destination preview may include an overhead perspective of an area surrounding a destination. The destination preview may be animated so as to allow the user to maintain perspective of the current location, planned route, and other objects while previewing the destination. The animated perspective path, including height, zoom level, angle, and speed of a vantage point, may be calculated so as to provide improved visibility for a user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a device acting as a server on a network is disclosed which uses network data representing communications on the network. The network data contains source device, destination device, data transfer protocol and data volume information for each communication represented therein and may be collected by network traffic monitors or packet capture devices such as RMON2 probes on the network. Data relating to relevant server protocols is identified within the network data, and using the identified data, a device is determined to be acting as a server if it has the highest data volume for communications in which it is the source or destination device and which communications involve at least a threshold number of other devices. The method may be conveniently implemented in a computer program and may be used in conjunction with a network management application.

Abstract: A processor includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is configured to provide a first indication of whether or not at least one reservation is valid in the processor. A reservation is established responsive to processing a load-linked instruction, which is a load instruction that is architecturally defined to establish the reservation. A valid reservation is indicative that one or more bytes indicated by the target address of the load-linked instruction have not been updated since the reservation was established. The second circuit is coupled to receive the first indication. Responsive to the first indication indicating no valid reservation, the first circuit is configured to select a speculative load-linked instruction for issued. The second circuit is configured not to select the speculative load-linked instruction for issue responsive to the first indication indicating the at least one valid reservation. A method is also contemplated.

Abstract: In a computer network of devices, at least some of the devices (i.e. the DCHP devices) have a static (e.g. MAC) address which does not change over time and a dynamic (e.g. IP) address which may change over time. There is disclosed a method and computer program for mapping the static address and dynamic address for the devices comprising polling said devices using said IP addresses and during said polling determining the MAC addresses of the devices, and providing a set of mapped static and dynamic addresses, said method including repeating the steps of the method at intervals. Using the method of the invention, it is possible, when entering a particular conversation in a database, to access the IP addresses, to determine which is the current DHCP device that address maps to, and assign the conversation to that device and store it in the database assigned to that device. Therefore, for each DHCP device, one can store a history of the conversations or traffic involved in that device.

Abstract: A system includes a bus and a circuit for precharging the bus. The circuit may be coupled to receive a clock signal associated with the bus, and may be configured to precharge a bus during an interval of the period of the clock signal, the interval being between a first edge (rising or falling) and the subsequent edge (falling or rising). A second interval within the period and excluding the interval may be used to perform a bus transfer. In this manner, both precharging and transfer may be performed in the same clock cycle. Bandwidth of the bus may be improved since transfers may occur each clock cycle, rather than having a non-transfer clock cycle for precharging.

Abstract: A computer program detects a potential attack on a computer network. A list E is made from network traffic data including source and destination addresses of traffic on the network. The list E includes all source addresses in the data which are not allocated to the network and are not in a list X. A first address in list E is chosen. A number of data entries including A and B and representing network traffic passing between source address A, chosen from list E, and destination address B, allocated to the network, is counted. If the number of such data entries is more than T, address A is output, thereby identifying address A as a potential source of attack. If it is determined that any entries in list E are left, the next address in list E is moved to, and the counting, outputting and determining is repeated, otherwise, stopping.
