US Patent:
2011004, Feb 24, 2011
Filed:
Apr 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/988459
Inventors:
Thomas J. Bonola - Cypress TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 13/24
US Classification:
710268, 710269
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present invention arc directed to providing efficient and easily-applied mechanisms for inter-core and inter-processor communications and inter-core and inter-processor signaling within multi-core microprocessors and certain multi-processor systems. In one embodiment of the present invention, local advanced programmable interrupt controllers within, or associated with, cores of a multi-core microprocessor and/or processors of a multi-processor system are enhanced so that the local advanced programmable interrupt controllers can be configured to automatically generate inter-core and inter-processor interrupts when WRITE operations are directed to particular regions of shared memory.

International Classification:
G06F 9/46, G06F 15/16
US Classification:
718 1, 709203
Abstract:
A data processing system enables configuration of a virtual connect functioning in combination with a virtualization platform. The illustrative data processing system is used with a virtualization platform which is configured to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one or more physical servers and a virtual connect device which is communicatively coupled to the virtualization platform. The virtual connect device virtualizes connections between the physical server or servers and a network infrastructure. The data processing system comprises a configuration manager that integrates migration and failover of virtual machines operating under the virtualization platform with migration and failover of physical servers operative under the virtual connect device for management of virtual and physical migration and failover using common commands.
System And Method To Coordinate Access To A Sharable Data Structure Using Deferred Cycles
US Patent:
2006009, May 4, 2006
Filed:
Nov 3, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/980538
Inventors:
Thomas Bonola - Cypress TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 12/14
US Classification:
711150000
Abstract:
In at least some embodiments, a system comprises a plurality of requesters and control logic. The requestors are each capable of accessing a sharable data structure. The control logic causes a request for access to the sharable data structure to be deferred to permit only one requestor at a time to access the sharable data structure.

US Classification:
713300, 713320, 713324
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes exemplary embodiments of BIOS-based systems and methods of processor power management. Such systems include a computer system, comprising: a processor operable at a plurality of power levels (the processor comprises a register capable of storing a processor load value); a memory coupled to the processor; and BIOS software stored in the memory that executes on the processor, (the BIOS software comprises a power management module). The power management module sets the processor to a new power level of the plurality of power levels if a function of the load value indicates the new power level.
