Abstract: A system and method of allocating a job submission for a computational task to a set of distributed server farms each having at least one processing entity comprising; receiving a workload request from at least one processing entity for submission to at least one of the set of distributed server farms; using at least one or more conditions associated with the computational task for accepting or rejecting at least one of the server farms to which the job submission is to be allocated; determining a server farm that can optimize the one or more conditions; and dispatching the job submission to the server farm which optimizes the at least one of the one or more conditions associated with the computational task and used for selecting the at least one of the server farms.

Abstract: A design structure including universal peripheral processor architecture on an integrated circuit (IC) includes a first data bus and a second data bus communicating with first and second ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) devices configured as state machines. First and second processors are coupled to the first bus interface logic and the second bus interface logic. First and second data storage devices communicate with the first and second processors and are coupled to the first and second data buses and communicate with each other. The TCAM devices are configured as state machines and are coupled to and adapted to interface with the processors, the data storage devices, and the bus interface logic using predefined protocols.

Abstract: A method for determining Internet access by an autonomous electronic circuit on a system on a chip integrated circuit includes a system bus which is snooped to determine if Internet activity is occurring on the system bus. Local header information is collected when the snooping has determined that Internet activity is occurring on the system bus. A packet including the local header information is created. Internet access is requested with the created packet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting data packets in an integrated circuit according to a data integrity scheme that embeds an integrity value in each data packet. As the data packets are transferred, the data integrity value for a data packet is stored during a stall of the transmission of that data packet so that the stored integrity value can be used after the stall has ceased.

Abstract: A computer system is disclosed which includes a design structure including a CPU or microprocessor to drive tightly constrained hardware events. The system comprises a processor having a set of system inputs to drive a functionally programmable event, and a fast branch in the CPU including a state handler to execute instructions from the CPU to process the event. A queue in the CPU stores the events such that the non-pre-empted events are serviced in the order they are received.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for implementing communications in a communications network. The apparatus for implementing communications includes a system interface to the communications network. A scheduler schedules enqueued cells and enqueued frames to be transmitted. A segmenter segments frames and cells in into cells or frames applied to a media adaptation block for transmission in a selected one of multiple modes.

Abstract: A method and Gigabit Ethernet communications adapter are provided for implementing communications in a communications network. A transmission queue is defined of data to be transmitted. A transmission rate is set for the transmission queue. Data to be transmitted are enqueued on the transmission queue. The transmission queue can be subdivided into multiple priority queues, for example, using time wheels, and a transmission rate is set for each transmission queue.
