  • Method and apparatus performing automatic resource distribution
    Patent number: 8488587
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing automatic resource distribution is presented. A number of ports of a resource to hold (H) as needed for each Multi Media Platform (MPP) is determined. Further, the maximum number of ports of a resource that can be acquired (M)—M?H of which are borrowed from other MPPs—for each MPP is also determined. The ports are then allocated for an MPP from at least one server in accordance with the number of ports to hold as needed and the number of ports that can be borrowed.

  • Process control monitoring system and method therefor
    Patent number: 5854563
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process control monitoring system and method. The system and method uses current comparator circuits for monitoring process changes. Process sensitive current sources are compared with weighted reference current sources in a manner that each output of the current comparators demonstrates the inequality of the current sources. By setting the weighted reference current sources properly, the outputs of the current comparators may be used to locate the process corner of the fabricated integrated circuit.
