Publication number: 20080048711Abstract: The invention includes an error correcting logic system that allows critical circuits to be hardened with only one redundant unit and without loss of circuit performance. The system provides an interconnecting gate that suppresses a fault in one of at least two redundant dynamic logic gates that feed to the interconnecting gate. The system is applicable to dynamic or static logic systems. The system prevents propagation of a fault, and addresses not only soft errors, but noise-induced errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Inventors: Kerry Bernstein, Philip Emma, John Fifield, Paul Kartschoke, William Klaasen, Norman Rohrer

Publication number: 20080049799Abstract: A high speed optical channel including an optical driver and a photodetector in a CMOS photoreceiver. The optical channel driver includes a FET driver circuit driving a passive element (e.g., an integrated loop inductor) and a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diode. The VCSEL diode is biased by a bias supply. The integrated loop inductor may be integrated in CMOS technology and on the same IC chip as either/both of the FET driver and the VCSEL diode. The photodetector is in a semiconductor (silicon) layer that may be on an insulator layer, i.e., SOI. One or more ultrathin metal electrodes (<2000 ?) on the silicon layer forms a Schottky barrier diode junction which in turn forms a quantum well containing a two dimensional electron gas between the ultrathin metal electrode and the Schottky barrier diode junction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPERATIONInventors: Ferenc Bozso, Philip Emma

Publication number: 20080046703Abstract: A memory storage structure includes a memory storage device, and a first meta-structure having a first size and operating at a first speed. The first speed is faster than a second speed for storing meta-information based on information stored in a memory. A second meta-structure is hierarchically associated with the first meta-structure. The second meta-structure has a second size larger than the first size and operates at the second speed such that faster and more accurate prefetching is provided by coaction of the first and second meta-structures. A method is provided to assemble the meta-information in the first meta-structure and copy this information to the second meta-structure, and prefetching the stored information from the second meta-structure to the first meta-structure ahead of its use.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2007Publication date: February 21, 2008Inventors: Philip Emma, Allan Hartstein, Brian Prasky, Thomas Puzak, Moinuddin Ahmed Qureshi, Vijayalakshmi Srinivasan
