  • Method and apparatus for bit vector array
    Patent number: 7284260
    Abstract: A bit vector array apparatus provides a high speed method for processing network transmission controls. Complex data structures for controlling network access are represented in the simplest possible form as single bit vector elements. The bit vector elements are combined into bit vectors comprised of 32 single bit vector elements. The bit vectors are processed in parallel in the bit vector array apparatus, which is comprised of special-purpose bit manipulation functions to expedite the processing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2007
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Paul John Hilts, Brian Alan Youngman
