  • Dynamic sizing logic for dump list generation
    Patent number: 6898736
    Abstract: An improved process for executing a dump is provided. The iteration loops are made “smart” by allowing them to determine how big the arrays are on the fly and adjust their behavior accordingly. The process uses a function to calculate the amount of memory to allocate for the dump list based on the dump mode and array sizes. Thus, if the static arrays are modified to add or delete constants or the diagnostic code is in an abbreviated dump mode, the amount of memory to be allocated will be calculated accurately.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 24, 2005
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Anirban Chatterjee, Michael Youhour Lim, Stuart Allen Werbner
  • Method of de-allocating multiple processor cores for an L2 correctable error
    Patent number: 6742145
    Abstract: A method of de-allocating multiple processor cores sharing a failing bank of memory is disclosed. The method allows new multiple-processor integrated circuits with on-chip shared memory to be de-allocated using existing technology designed for use with single-processor integrated circuit technology.
