Abstract: Disclosed is a hardware design development tool, where in a first step the data flow (30) of the desired hardware design is specified (10, 40) and structured into functions. Then the required control logic (31, 32) is introduced in those functions in order to get a description of the functional behavior of the underlying hardware. Various interconnections or relationships are provided between data flow and control logic, for instance via calls (33) between them. According to the proposed methodological steps, the design is specified (10, 40) by functions depending on variables, wherein the functions contain data flow and control flow information. The functional description is parsed (43) in order to distinguish data flow and control flow information. In particular, at least one local table (45) each entry of which containing the control flow information, and a global table (46) each entry of which containing the data flow information and references to the local table(s), are provided.

Abstract: A set of storage devices together with a method for storing data to the storage devices and retrieving data from the storage devices is presented. The set of storage devices provide the function of a multi-writeport cell through the use of a set of single-writeport cells. The storage devices allow for multiple write accesses. Information contained in the set of storage device is represented by all of the devices together. The stored information may be retrieved via a read operation which accesses a subset of the set of storage devices. A write operation is a staged operation: First, the contents of all of the storage devices which are not to be modified are read. Next, the values that are to be written to a subset B of the set of storage devices are calculated in a way that the contents and the values of subset B together represent the desired result.

Abstract: One or more processing units are connected with a clock component (comprising a clock) over a bi-directional serial link, and data frames are transmitted between the clock component and the processing units. The clock component may contain a serial link combination circuit for combining multiple processing unit serial links, operating in parallel, into a single serial link connected to the clock. Both of the clock component and the processing units contain an error detection and correction mechanism which examine and modify data within the data frames to perform error detection and correction. The clock component optionally contains an external interface for connection to a command-issuing Service Processor.
