  • Patent number: 9484930
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for initializing one or more components of a system, the system comprising an integrated circuit that comprises at least one processor, are disclosed. A method includes initializing at least one component of the system, determining a temperature of the integrated circuit using a temperature sensing device embedded on the integrated circuit, comparing the determined temperature to a predetermined suitable temperature operating range of at least one additional component to yield a comparison result, and initializing the at least one additional component based on the comparison result. The at least one additional component may be initialized on the condition that the determined temperature of the integrated circuit is within the predetermined suitable temperature operating range of the at least one additional component.

  • Patent number: 7996614
    Abstract: Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for processing a data request in a data processing system. A read command requesting data is received from a requesting master device. It is determined whether a cache of a processor can provide the requested data. Responsive to a determination that a cache of a processor can provide the requested data, the requested data is routed to the requesting master device on an intervention data bus of the processor separate from a read data bus and a write data bus of the processor.

  • Patent number: 6006316
    Abstract: A microprocessor circuit is disclosed for instructions on an arithmetic/shift function performing standard operations (e.g., ALU instructions or Shift instructions) on instructions in a first cycle of operation, and a correction circuit responsive to the arithmetic/shift function for modifying the standard results provided by the arithmetic/shift function to results required by a SIMD instruction being executed. The arithmetic/shift function is an instruction provided by either an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) or by a shift instruction. The correction circuit passes data, unchanged for logical instructions but provides condition codes according to the SIMD instruction.
