Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for addressing die are inefficiencies associated with the use of redundant ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) for facilitating error detection and correction. Only a portion of redundant TCAMs (or portions of the same TCAM) are reserved for modified coherency directory cache entries, while remaining portions are available for unmodified coherency directory cache entries. The amount of space reserved for redundant, modified coherency directory cache entries can be programmable and adaptable.

Abstract: A system and method for conveying data include the capability to determine whether a transaction request credit has been received at a computer module, the transaction request credit indicating that at least a portion of a transaction request message may be sent. The system and method also include the capability to determine, of a transaction request message is to be sent, whether at least a portion of the transaction request message may be sent and to send the at least a portion of the transaction request message if it may be sent.

Abstract: A high performance computing system is provided with an ASIC that communicates with another device in the system according to a protocol defined by the other device. The ASIC is coupled to a reconfigurable protocol table, in the form of a high speed content-addressable memory (“CAM”). The CAM includes instructions to control the execution of the protocol by the ASIC. The CAM may include instructions to control the ASIC in the event that unanticipated signals or other errors are encountered while executing the protocol. Internal ASIC state data may be routed to the CAM to permit the ASIC to generate a reasonable response to errors either in the design or fabrication of the ASIC or the device with which it is communicating.
