Abstract: A system and method of avoiding loss of memory trace data, including monitoring a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer to determine if the FIFO buffer has overflowed due to memory access, determining whether an overflow of the FIFO buffer is acceptable, changing an operating mode of a target system if overflow of the FIFO buffer is unacceptable to avoid FIFO buffer overflow, and collecting memory trace data on the memory accesses.

Abstract: Described is a computer-implemented method for preventing time out during data transfer to an input/output device. Dummy data is generated and transferred to the input/output device at a time during data transfer, such as when a time out event may occur that would end the data transfer. The transfer of dummy data prevents a time out event from occurring.

Abstract: A mirror file number corresponding to a file being requested is transmitted to a host OS. A determination is made as to whether or not caching is performed in the host OS, and reading of the data of the mirror file number is requested to a block device if it is determined that the data of the mirror file number that was transmitted is not cached. The block device acquires the memory address where the corresponding actual contents are stored, corresponding to the sector number, acquires the sequence number corresponding to the contents, changes the acquired sequence number, and reads the data of the acquired memory address. The read data is converted to data with a modified sequence number attached, and the data is provided to the host OS. If it is determined that the data is cached in the host OS, the cached data is provided.

Abstract: A method for fast and efficient data downloading in wireless communications. The method includes ways to download file data of a large size from a server (access point) to a user's client (mobile device) at high speed and efficiency by using both mmWave wireless communication and conventional wireless communication (WiFi, 3G, etc.). A server transmits packetized file data to a client. The file data is transmitted as data packets via mmWave. In parallel, the server transmits check packets (roll-call packets) corresponding to the data packets. As a test at the time of establishing links, the latency for each communication line is measured. The receiver side, upon completion of receiving the check packets, checks whether their corresponding mmWave packets have arrived. If any corresponding mmWave packet has not arrived, it is determined that the mmWave packet has been lost and a retransmission request is immediately returned to the server via WiFi.
